Sorry, can’t find any better sources for this.

The animator then asked Maher what the “downside” of “getting a vaccine” was, which caused the comedian to go on an anti-vax tirade.

“The fact that you the fact that you don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine that you don’t know the answer to that. You completely want to shut your eyes to the fact that there are repercussions to all medical interventions, including a vaccine, all vaccines,” he ranted. “They come, they say side effects, just like every medication does. You can see it in the literature. They can’t write it on their back on the vaccine. So you have to dig them. And of course, there is a vaccine court because so many people have been injured.”

    Oh, these are very interesting numbers.

    Total COVID-19 CICP claims filed: 12,700

    Out of about 700M doses administered? That’s 0.0018% of people who actually thought they had been harmed enough to actually file a complaint.

    Decisions: 1,837

    Claims found eligible for compensation: 38

    And 2% of the people who thought they had something actually did.

    That means that, of the 700 million doses of COVID vaccine that have been administered since 2020, 0.0000054% have resulted in an adverse reaction significant enough to merit financial compensation.

    Thank you, Bill, for providing the information needed to prove your own point spurious.
