Not really... This is a political position.
Every medicine or vaccine must be judged on its own merits.

Even if you alter the risk to reflect it being only say a 1/500 chance, it's still way higher than dying from the vaccine.
So much higher that it makes the argument laughable.
You can't ignore that using VAERS is hardly science.
I have no issue with people being angry over the way the vaccine was forced on people and I'm angry about that also. It does not make me want to close my eyes to reality or want to force my views on others. Both sides in this have been acting very badly and stretching the truth to the breaking point.

Just an update as I have now noticed there are 7 members who have flagged the analysis and numbers provided in the OP which are completely wrong as myself and others have pointed out on several occasions.
It looks like this thread is flagged by those who are engaging in vaccine apologetics and denialism of reality and those who defend the pharmaceuticals and the pro-vaccination campaign at all costs.
Key points.
You cannot use case fatality rates in the US or elsewhere in the world. You need the infection fatality rate. The fatality rate of SARS-CoV-2 in the US is not around 1% and the statistic provided that 1 in 103 who is infected dies is false.
The rate of adverse reactions from the vaccines is not the one stated in the OP as the estimation came from completely false considerations. The OP took the total number of reported adverse reactions in Florida and divided to the total number of shots given worldwide! That's extraordinary....
The OP and some others tried to make comparisons between the vaccines and the virus and that's as absurd as it gets. You compare vaccines to vaccines and viruses to viruses.
In a few words the attempt at debunking has failed magnificently.

This is not directed at any person but is a general observation. Actual logical discussions are not possible on this topic. It's always either my way or the highway.
Around and around we go with the same conversation over and over with people at each other's throats trying to force one another to alter their views. That's not debate, it's just intellectual bullying accompanied by much foot stomping and posting of videos by online crackpots.

That's one way to avoid responding to someone pointing out problems with your claims...
The duplicates in VAERS are people who report more than 1 side effect.

How does that lend credibility to the numbers?

While it is true your chances of dying from COVID are low, your chance of having a negative side effect from the vaccine is hundreds of times lower than that. This is where the risk vs. reward comes in.

Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported. Although 25% of
ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events
and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported.

Bullcrap. VAERS themselves admitted that less than 1% of adverse effects from vaccines are reported to VAERS. That's the fact you are leaving out...

You didn't do any research. You just regurgitated the lies by big pharma.
The push for everyone to get COVID-19 non-vaccines should be treated like what it is, the largest medical experiment forced upon people without the consent of millions of people.
