Math Is Important 😩

I read an article yesterday which states that POTS is a rare side effect of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Less than 5 in one million people will be effected. Compared to the unvaccinated. Who are 5X more likely to suffer from POTS than the vaccinated. That’s approximately 25 people (unvaccinated) in one million vs 5 people (vaccinated) in one million. A statistically insignificant amount. 😩

If 5 in one million is rare. 25 in one million is rare as well. 5X more sounds like a lot. But 5X more than what?😩 Is the risk of injury worth the alleged benefits? I believe that’s a personal decision. It’s not for me to speak on. But I wish professionals weren’t for sale. I certainly saw a study where wearing masks “proved” to be 5% more effective than not wearing them. And the conclusion was that mask wearing should be advised. 😩
