You are exaggerating and cherry picking data.I had a 99% blocked "widow maker" artery at 49. Didn't happen overnight, takes many years to get to that point. A lot of people in their 40's and 50's have and die from heart attacks. But how do you explain the excess deaths happening worldwide in teens and twentysomethings? A very recent phenomenon that wasn't occurring pre Covid and not because of Covid. Already known that the mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis in quite a few young people, particularly young men. What I don't understand is the need to defend vaccines that were rushed to market without the usual lengthy trials and the denials that anything might be wrong with them when it has already been proven they're ineffective in preventing the disease or transmission to others? Why should this be a liberal or conservative issue? A conservative administration pushed for bringing these to market quickly and a liberal government took up advocating that this was the best way to prevent deaths and end the pandemic. They both may have screwed up very badly. Time will tell. It may be an issue that only affects a limited amount of people. It may be a ticking time bomb for hundreds of millions of people. Could be that something else altogether is causing the much higher than normal deaths. But something is happening and denying it won't change that.
Has the mRNA vaccine been likely responsible for some deaths in youths with a rare condition? Yes.
Has the risk outweighed the benefit? Absolutely not.
Lengthy trials were not an option. Trump rushed the process, and rightly so.
