I disagree with the headline. It has killed PLENTY!

Did they account for age? It's usually the case in a given area that the older population is by far the most vaxxed age group. That would be a major confounding factor. I'm open to the idea that being vaxxed has a negative overall effect on our immunity but I'd like to see crystal-clear data.

And of course I don't WANT it to be true! I've had the original 2 shots of Moderna and one booster. It would take an awful lot to convince me to take any further boosters but I am very worried about the negative effect that they may actually have had on my immune system.

Before the Commie Crud (my own pet name for the bugger) I had at least average immunity. Would get one or two colds per season, sometimes none all year. Never got the flu. But in the past three months I have had a bad URI every. single. month. The first was just a wicked virus that gave me immediate laryngitis that lasted for two+ weeks. The next month, I got the Crud for the first time....ironically, that was the mildest course---a few days of cold symptoms and another week of feeling moderate fatigue. This month I picked up a cold but instead of going away after a few days, it suddenly moved to my sinuses and ears. I am now on antibiotics and getting better but it's been a really sucky two+ weeks and I am not over it yet.

I feel like a bowling pin with no protection from my own immune system, just waiting for the next ball to knock me flat.

I had the same thoughts. We need to know the percentages broken down by age before this means anything. If most of the un-vaxed are young then it is still possible there is some protection from serious disease and death. Don't know if there is but this data does not answer the question

This is not an uncommon tale. Almost as if something has cocked up our IgG4 antibody response to all respiratory viruses. Can think what that might be. Two friends had real trouble with loosing their voice and so far (like months later), it's not fully returned. Not COVID...

Another possible complicating factor is that vaccine use typically tracks health. The healthier you are, the more likely you'll take the vaccine. I believe Berenson pointed this out with the influenza shot. Once age adjusted, if this tendency holds true for the COVID vax, the results may be even worse.

What does ONS say about this?

At this point, it's pretty clear that the only thing the jabs prevent is people from living long, healthy lives.
