“Global Estimates of Lives and Life-Years Saved by COVID-19 Vaccination During 2020-2024” (JAMA Health):
Roughly 70 million humans die every year worldwide. Via a tortured statistical analysis, the nerds now say that it would have been 70.5 million per year for 2020-2024 but for the life-saving miracle of COVID-19 vaccination. Roughly 1.2 million people die every year in traffic accidents (WHO) and they’re typically much younger and healthier than a COVID-19 victim. If we’d ignored SARS-CoV-2 and implemented my Save lives by limiting cars to 35 mph? and Reintroduce Prohibition for the U.S.? ideas, in other words, we would have saved far more lives, and vastly more life-years, than we did by forcing people to accept experimental injections.
(A skeptic might say that the difference between 70 million people dying and 70.5 million people dying is too small to be noticed reliably and that, therefore, it is just as likely that the COVID-19 vaccines didn’t save any lives or actually resulted in a higher death rate by encouraging people to take risks after they were vaccinated, e.g., attending a crowded Taylor Swift concert (note also that the best way for a progressive Democrat who expresses concern regarding inequality to redress social injustice is to spend $10,000 on a Taylor Swift weekend rather than giving the $10,000 to the poor).)
Guess those 60 millions who died of old age globally died 3 month later after taking the vaccine. As someone who was lucky enough to be around my over ninety years old parents when they were dying I can attest that ever week is important, even if quality of life of old people is low. However, quality of life of my parents dropped suddenly after vaccinations and that got systematic diseases that doctors and hospitals could not explain or deal with. Even though, to paraphrase our great POTUS, Chinese Coronavirus became a light tolerable events for my aged parents, I think that they could be now alive and in better condition that they were in their last years if it were not for COVID vaccines/boosters. So I think that these 15,000,000 are pulled from some places.
JAMA…the best Science Big Pharma can buy.
God help us if there were some cheap, safe, and effective treatment for the latest Sino flu that was non-patentable…no! Surely not that!
How is that ‘healthcare’ has adopted the Sinaloa cartel business model — with a twist? Make the product — not illegal — but mandatory. Sheer genius!
One could begin to suspect that the State-captured capitalist model of health care has somehow failed us.
So much is being said about how vaccination saved millions of lives, with the numbers based on estimates. Sadly, no one is willing to acknowledge or discuss how many lives were destroyed or set back due to the lockdowns.
We have an entire generation that lost two years of schooling, people confined to their homes who gained weight and health issues, and a sharp decline in productivity.

Nobel peace prize for Phil’s sir !
Why shouldn’t Philip, or anyone, really, get a Nobel Peace Prize? After all, Obama got one just 11 months into his presidency, out of the blue. Seems like they are handing them out pretty easily!
Unfortunately mRNA vaccine business is still alive and well, so industry and their beholden media will continue to “inform” sheeple of their “benefits”.

My doctor was recently pushing shingles vaccine (undiscounted for self payers). I showed her the shingles-like eczema that had developed after my first government subsidized Covid shot, and has been getting worse over the years on my finger joints. Didn’t we learn anything from Godzilla vs. Mothra about tampering with nature?
Sorry though Phil, I started wearing masks in 2018 after Hygiene-a-geddon (someone sneezed on me in Wal*Mart and I developed fluid on my lungs), and never go out in public, even when people spit on the ground in front of me to demonstrate their objection.
Is there a point where it’s no longer appropriate to call them “experimental injections”?
Clinical trials + billions of patients given the shot + large differences in mortality rates between vaxxed and unvaxxed + nearly five years of history.
It’s like calling your wife of 5 years “A women I met on Tinder”
Let us consider the analogy of calling a genital herpes infection of five years as “a woman I met on Tinder”.
David: the injections were not FDA-approved at the time they were given to the vast majority of Americans, but only “emergency use authorized”. The injections that the CDC said to give to every baby at 6 months were never FDA-approved. Some of the history is covered in this recent Guardian article. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/09/pfizer-covid-vaccine-fda-children-dfa
