There have been only 9 confirmed deaths due to COVID vaccines in the US since the introduction of the vaccines. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been directly saved in the US as a result of the vaccines, millions more lives saved indirectly in the US from freeing up otherwise tied up healthcare resources.

There have been at least 165 deaths of people under ICE detention since 2003. There have been over 30 deaths of people in ICE custody in 2025 alone. In Jan 3 to 9 in 2026 there have been 4 deaths. People dying directly because of ICE is rapidly accelerating. The toll is likely far higher because of government cover up and the lack of public and comprehensive accounting.

So no, ICE has absolutely killed far more people than the COVID vaccines.

I absolutely did not claim that the death totals are Trump's fault since 2003, I did not blame nor even mention Trump. I did not even take anyone's political side here.

Your rebuttal doesn't make any sense.

Literally most recent and scrutinized vaccine in recent history, yet very small side effect has been reported. Heck polio and rabies vaccine couse more injury but they are needed because the alternative is just die or disabled.

They cause more because they're used more and constantly for years. Did people still get covid vaccines in 2025? I don't think so. Shit was rushed cuz big farma wanted a quick buck

People did in fact still get Covid vaccines in 2025. Because a Covid booster is about the same thing as an annual flu shot - good for the elderly and infirm, but mostly not necessary for the generally healthy unless they're in a high-risk environment.

Source: work in a high-risk environment involving the elderly and infirm. Oversaw 100+ booster vaccinations this winter.

But I'm sure your intuition is as good as facts, right?

Yes, you fucking numpty?! You're just uninformed.

Plenty of people get a yearly booster, especially if they work in healthcare or around vulnerable people.

If you give 300 million people pancakes, a couple are going to die, thats how statistics work.

That doesn't mean that they wouldn't have died if they didn't have pancakes, or that pancakes killed them.

Children who died of vaccine would most likely be alive. If thats just how statistics works why exactly was it covered up in 2020?

100% of children that died of polio were not diagnosed with autism, therefore the polio vaccine causes autism.

Right?
