But wait, there’s more: a cheery, chilling contemporary COVID Christmas carol:

Not so cheery are rising reports of serious adverse effects from the
shiny new Pfizer vaccine.  Dr. Vernon Coleman urgently warns that
2.8% of 112,807 UK first-dose vaccine recipients suffered Health
Impact Events (defined as “unable to perform normal daily activities,
unable to work, required care from doctor or health professional”):

These numbers come from the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices:

Even the original test results reported by the New England Journal of
Medicine don’t make the vaccine sound too good:
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577

…since the 21,720 Pfizer vaccine takers suffered from “four related
serious adverse events”, 64 cases of lymphadenopathy, and 21% related
adverse events (compared to 0, 6, and 5% corresponding values from
placebo takers).  Meanwhile there were 1 severe COVID-19 case among
the vaccine takers and 9 severe cases among the placebo takers.  So
the net benefit from the vaccine is reducing 9 severe cases down to 5
severe cases, a statistically insignificant 0.02% benefit. More dramatic is the reduction from 162 to 8 non-severe cases, but that’s still only a 0.7% effect involving minor
symptoms.  Costs include 21% related adverse events now plus unknown
long-term risks from the vaccine’s barely-tested new mRNA methodology.

BTW, former NY Times reporter Alex Berenson notes the CDC “is
reporting the number of vaccinations in near-real time. But they
AREN’T (as far as I can find) reporting the adverse events they
receive. We haven’t had an update on those since Friday. Way to build trust.”
