Based on official reported COVID-19 deaths, we estimated that vaccinations prevented 14·4 million (95% credible interval [Crl] 13·7–15·9) deaths from COVID-19 in 185 countries and territories between Dec 8, 2020, and Dec 8, 2021. This estimate rose to 19·8 million (95% Crl 19·1–20·4) deaths from COVID-19 averted when we used excess deaths as an estimate of the true extent of the pandemic, representing a global reduction of 63% in total deaths (19·8 million of 31·4 million) during the first year of COVID-19 vaccination.

I will dumb it down for you. Think for a minute Baler. If masks are used to prevent future infections that could occur during a sterile surgery do you think masks are a good idea when trying to prevent infection? Thanks for showing how bad you discuss anything. Ben Shapiro really did a number on brain washing you.

That sounds great if true!

Still doesn't address the question of long term side effects, which can't possibly be known until the covid vaccines have existed in the long term. We currently have about *one* year of good data on them at scale. It's scientifically incoherent to declare they are safe. At best you can say "They seem to be safe, so far", which is fine. But the disease they are supposed to prevent is also not very dangerous. Yes people have died from it, just as people die from the flu, and I still just want to know how many masks you wore in 1998 for the flu season? Just to check and see if this is politically motivated, ya know?
