The mRNA vaccines have complications in fewer than 1 in a million.

i do not think that is correct. for example, i was recently listening to two young females that did not know each other discussing how one had developed blood clots and the other had an aneurism..

that doesnt sound like one in a million odds.

people are spreading positive statistics about the vax that are not true.

There have been 348 million vaccine doses given in the USA. So if two people were discussing possible side-effects that may or may not be related to a vaccine that may or may not have been an mRNA one, it doesn't really contradict the 1 in a million figure.

You need statistically significantly more than 348 people. And you need to show that the aneurysm and the blood clots did occur. And you need to show that they occurred statistically significantly more than the background rate for aneurysms and blood clots.

Overheard conversations aren't good for that, because you don't really get a sense of how many people haven't had symptoms, as not overhearing a conversation isn't evidence that they don't have symptoms, and you don't really have a sense of how many people you didn't overhear having a conversation about side-effects.

It's better to get a group of people who've had the vaccine, and see how many get blood clots and aneurysms compared to the background rate.
