What you have posted in another thread.
And for avoidance of doubt I am outright stating thousands of deaths is acceptable if it saves many more
It shows how much you don't understand the safety standards involved for vaccines and drugs. A handful of deaths will be enough to withdraw a vaccine. Examples the Swine Flu, Rotavirus.
Risk of deaths from covid vaccine is tiny compared to the benefit.

Rotavirus kills single figure number of people a year in the UK.
Well done for giving a great example of why different risk profiles are acceptable.

Would you say a vaccine product that kills thousands of people while offering no protection from transmission or infection should carry the label "safe and effective"?

Yes unequivocally that is what i am saying. Some deaths ate acceptable. That is the same with any form of vaccination or treatment.
The weird thing would be thinking otherwise.

there is an issue with stating how wonderful the vaccines are at saving lives or providing some benefit of being less sick than you would have, had you not gotten the vaccine. Everyone is different and may have underlying conditions that effect their ability to fight the infection. There really is no way of knowing how effective the vaccines are, other than some blanket look, which isn't how reality works.
There is no way to measure how sick you would have been with or without the vaccine, and death could be from any number of things up to and including the vaccine itself. Does that mean you should be afraid of all vaccines? no, but you also should use a bit of restraint when trying to convince everyone the vaccine that could kill you is uber safe and wonderful. You haven't a clue.

Since that isn't the case for covid vaccinations seems a bit off topic.
As a hypothetical however it would depend on how well it protected against serious disease and death versus the danger from tje virus itself.

I just watched Bill Gates saying that the current vaccines are not infection blocking.
Is he wrong?

Are you trying to disregard a very valid point and deflect for once more?!
The vaccines don't prevent transmission or infection and they have harmed and killed many people. It is clear to me and to many others here why they should have been withdrawn long time ago.

As in completely stopping infection, no but they do reduce infection.

You seem again and again not to understand what standards of safety are and it's your posts that demonstrate inability to understand the basic issues and why lockdowns were catastrophic without any benefits.
You compare vaccines to viruses for fatality rates which is absurd. You need to compare vaccines to other vaccines. The standards of safety are not set by myself by the way. A product that causes a handful of deaths (and not thousands) is usually withdrawn from the markets for safety reasons.
You are admitting that thousands of deaths that could be caused by the vaccines is an acceptable number given they 'save many more'
Monoclonal antibodies by AZ were pulled by the FDA
The AZ vaccine seems to have been withdrawn from most markets
Your admission above shows that you are motivated ideologically and politically given that by your own admission you have no training in any scientific and medical fields.

They reduce infection and transmission.
Also more importantly reduces severe cases and death.

Actually i never said that and what is your qualification again?

By how much? Everyone is getting infected or has been infected. How much reduction do you see in absolute numbers.

I didn't hear him say that they reduce infection.
