Allergies? Yes but rare

 the headlines and anti vaxxers are screaming about allergy reactions, but the CDC report puts this rare event (but something we do see now and then which is why we insist patients stay for a half hour after they get a shot).

During December 14–23, 2020, monitoring by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System detected 21 cases of anaphylaxis after administration of a reported 1,893,360 first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (11.1 cases per million doses); 71% of these occurred within 15 minutes of vaccination.

usually the press leaves out that part about this was of almost two million vaccinations given.

it might be the vaccine, but it also might be the plastic allergy or an allergy to the preservatives in the vaccine. 

this is bad reporting, similar to the earlier headlines about deaths after getting the vaccine that ignored that most of the deaths were in the placebo group.

Social media users have been sharing a post that makes several claims of serious negative health effects from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, including that 6 people died during late-stage trials. These claims are partly false.

Six people did die during the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine trials, but only two of them were given the vaccine. The other four were given a safe placebo solution of salt and water. No causal relationship was established between the vaccine and the two deaths, which occurred in line with the normal death rate for the general population.

update: This is why Kamela Harris and others who said they didn't trust the Vaccine for political reasons, and the anti vaxers who are busy exaggerating the side effects of the vaccines out of hysteria etc. have blood on their hands:

the dirty little secret is that the economic shutdown has been a disaster, and people are dying of treatable diseases (cancer not getting treated, people not able to afford their Blood pressure medicine or their diabetes medicine, people dying of infections because they have low grade malnutrition).

on the other hand, unless you have a relative who is a caregiver or nurse, you probably don't know anyone who died of covid... 

I suspect that those who have to work will get the vaccine because they need a paper to go to work.
