CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

Social media and media carry on about the risk of dying directly from an adverse reaction to a vaccination.

I came across an interesting stat today. If you give one million people injections between 200 and 500 people get a staphylococcus infection, about 10% of those getting infections are then at risk of dying. The figures are similar for sepsis, but statistically I do not know how they combine, and it won't be simple addition. Interestingly, the stat doesn't change even if you inject nothing at all, if it's just a needle stick  injury with no substance issued, it's a bit like the old rose thorn story!
