Speaker 1: During one of Trump's speeches in Iowa over the weekend, a voter confronts
Trump about the vaccines, the very vaccines which Trump takes credit for and takes pride
in as one of his biggest accomplishments during the COVID pandemic.
Those vaccines that his supporters mostly are against and won't receive.
A voter says we lost a lot of people because you supported the job.
And this gets super interesting.
Take a look at this guy.
Speaker 3: From Denver as my.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Know, we have lost people because.
Speaker 3: Of this project.
Yeah.
What were you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, everybody wanted a vaccine at that time, and I was able
to do something that nobody else could have done, getting it done very, very rapidly.
But I never was for mandates.
I was I thought the mandates were terrible.
And, you know, there's a big portion of the country that thinks that was a great thing.
You understand that not a lot of the people in this room, but there's a big but.
There is a big portion.
Speaker 1: Some people think the vaccine was a good thing.
You know, I would have loved to have seen Trump say when she says we've lost a lot of
people because you supported the jab.
Trump goes, Yeah, I would have preferred Trump to say, What do you mean?
We've lost a lot of people because I supported the jab.
What exactly are you talking about?
Force the voter to say, Well, hundreds of thousands, millions have died from the COVID
vaccine.
Now, I think it's important, given the opportunity to remind everybody there is still no credible
evidence about COVID vaccine related deaths.
There was a misleading report put out by a group called the Institute for Pure and Applied
Knowledge.
They used completely bogus methods and assumptions to estimate probably 300,000 people died from
the vaccine.
They used an excess death sort of calculation.
What's funny is they didn't even include the possibility that the excess deaths were from
COVID, from the thing that was actually killing people.
There was a false claim that Pfizer revealed data that death as a possible side effect
was a common thing when people were in the test group, the trial group or whatever.
That's been completely debunked.
What it relates to is that there are people who died in the few months following vaccination,
which you would expect from groups of humans.
Some people die for reasons that have nothing to do with the vaccine.
So the Pfizer one was a big thing.
Now, it is true that people occasionally die from common vaccines, their insanely rare
cases, and they usually involve a sort of known theoretical risk of death.
And the real numbers are so, so, so small.
A couple examples.
Anaphylaxis, which is a really severe allergic reaction.
After any vaccine, there can be anaphylaxis usually happens within minutes of the vaccine
can be treated with epinephrine.
The rate of anaphylaxis after vaccination is believed to be somewhere between one in
ten cases per million vaccines administered.
And of course, the epinephrine shot will will save most of those 1 to 10 per million.
There is something called intussusception, which is a type of bowel obstruction.
When you get the rotavirus vaccine, which is given to infants and young kids really
important to protect against severe diarrheal disease, there can be a risk of interception
after the rotavirus vaccine, 1 to 5 cases per 100,000 doses administered GBS Guillain-Barré
syndrome, very rare nerve damage disorder can happen after the flu shot.
The risk is about 1 to 2 cases per million doses.
And then, you know, you can look at the yellow fever vaccine.
There's something called why slave to severe reaction to the yellow fever vaccine.
And that is important in some parts of the world.
The risk of that is under one case per 100,000 doses administered.
So can people die after a vaccine?
Yes.
Is it so, so, so rare?
Absolutely.
Is there any proof that people are dying from the COVID vaccine?
There is not.
But this is what we call when a Trump voter confronts Trump about the vaccine he created
and wants credit for.
This is losing control of the monster you created.
I've mentioned it before, and we'll have the clip of this interaction on our YouTube channel,
on our TikTok, on our Instagram.
