I've got my 2nd Pfizer coming up. I hate needles in the first place.
Have you been vaccinated?

Mate I'm terrible with them usually. The good thing is the clinics are full of people so I found I was able to relax more around them rather than walking into the Dr's by myself.

I'm super tough and I ask for the special seat. If I pass out they don't have to pick me up.

I had the worst needle phobia you could imagine. From age 9 to about 40 I fainted at every single needle I got. I would start sweating just at the thought of a needle.
I was put on Warfarin at one stage and the nurse doing the daily blood tests would humour me and let me lie down. One day, much to my protestation she said "you're not lying down today, I know you, you'll be fine". Lo and behold I survived.
I'm now at the stage where I can give myself injections if needed and even became a blood donor - something I would never have dreamed of 25 years ago.
It's all mental 🙂

Hang in there, it will pass. I had a headache for a couple of days.

48 hours post vaccination and feeling pretty much normal.
Headaches and chills have all passed. Only problem I have is less energy than the Tigers at a testimonial game...

I would recommend people spend around 2 hours of their lives to listen to this interview with Dr Peter McCullough. He is the Vice Chief of internal Medicine Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. He has over 1000 articles published, has 500 citations in the National Library of Medicine. He is a Principal Faculty in internal medicine for the Texas A & M University Health Sciences Center. In short, he has some street cred.
Do not be alarmed by the click bait title of the interview.
As I said, its about 2 hours long, but very easy to listen to and I would love to receive some feedback.
Cheers, and good luck.

Honestly I don't really need to break down your maths. I don't want you to feel harangued, it's just that in a torrent of data, such as COVID or climate change, it doesn't really work to get bogged down in the minute details. You want to debate IFRs and PHE and CFR and MSM... it's really quite purposeless in the face of easily available key data, and the overwhelming consensus of experts.
There is a global consensus of information generated by experts. It's a consensus without boundary or idiosyncrasy. We can let those experts do their jobs, and advise the policy makers who implement the recommendations.
The overwhelming consensus is that vaccines save lives and reduce the risk of serious outcomes, at very little risk from the actual vaccine itself. I've been working in drug development almost 20 years; I'm not somebody that needs to be convinced how good vaccines are. I am professionally more informed than your average person, and you can take my word for what I say.
You only need to do a small amount of research to see the global positive outcomes from long-term vaccination programs, and to understand the known quantity that vaccines are - they aren't some crazy new concept rushed through in desperation. No, vaccines are a well-understood and first-choice tool to combat disastrous infectious disease.
If you are determined to seek out the mathematics of the situation, it's very demonstrable that vaccination saves lives and reduces the chance of serious illness. Kul already posted a whole bunch of data from the UK and their aggressive vaccination program. My own in-laws were vaccinated in Scotland a few months ago.
Globally there have been 189 million cases of COVID to date globally, just over 4 million deaths. https://covid19.who.int/
The world population is about 7.5 billion, so only ~2.5% of the world's population have contracted COVID. 4 million dead and only a very small fraction of the global population has actually contracted the condition. It will be hundreds of millions of deaths if it goes through a significant proportion of the world's population unvaccinated.
Any unvaccinated jurisdiction that is experiencing significant COVID cases is in lockdown. We are obviously in the middle of our own Sydney lockdown and it has proven to everyone that the only way out of this situation, and the only way to rejoin the world community of travel and exchange, is very significant vaccination rates.
Now if you want to rally against these very straightfoward, easy-to-understand data, then I can't stop you and obviously can't talk you out of it. I think once you start getting bogged down in IFRs and single case studies, and one-time projections, yes you are wasting your time. To cling to a single projection or statement against the overwhelming consensus of data is not reasonable. I mean, read your own post - IFRs and PHE and CFR and MSM... nobody knows what you are talking about.
Personally I don't understand why anyone would try to resist a free medicine to reduce chances of serious illness and death, in any population of any kind. The worst pandemic of our time and people are arguing against the most robust and well-known tool available to us - vaccination.
So if you don't end up getting a shot, or recommending that your relatives don't get the shot, or some combo, then there is at least salvation from the fact that if we do get to 70%+ of the population vaccinated, then those people have already significantly reduced your risk and done the hard lifting for you. The previous generations of people that took the smallpox vaccine made it such that our generation don't have to worry about smallpox any more. May it be so also for COVID.

Had my first shot yesterday, sore arm and that's it.
Was hoping for mutant powers, but maybe that will come later
