Gentlemen, as you sort out these stats (which are relevant to Taiwan), I would also draw your attention to this more suitable thread to discuss more general matters:

Check Far East Memorial Hospital. They have slots for AZ vaccines which they might have at the moment. You can book an appointment online, if available.

Because of the throughput and circumstances, those of you considering going for vaccination are unlikely to receive the legally-required âconsentingâ procedure, which would normally include an explanation of the risks you face, followed by a prescription for the drug from a qualified professional. You are effectively taking an OTC product with limited liability for harm. The onus is upon you to make an informed choice: you canât be unvaccinated, and there is no comeback if things go wrong.
The only public information on risks comes from VAERS, which records a curated selection of adverse events. VAERS documents the fact that these events occur, but the rate at which they occur is not being investigated (with some notable exceptions, such as thrombosis and myocarditis), and thus the risk to any given individual is unknown.
You should be aware, nevertheless, that you assume a non-zero risk of life-changing injury or death, and the published figures give some approximate indication of the risk magnitude. You should weigh those risks in terms of the benefits you expect to gain from vaccination. With that said, here is the latest information from the FDA, which I will update from time to time.
| AGE | <18 | 18-50 | 50-65 | 65+ | total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| death | 1 | 124 | 211 | 843 | 1179 |
| critical injury | 8 | 73 | 73 | 90 | 244 |
| hospitalisation | 177 | 908 | 536 | 746 | 2367 |
| misc. serious events | 273 | 1590 | 752 | 614 | 3229 |
| non-serious events | 576 | 4596 | 1396 | 939 | 7507 |
| total vaccinations | 1,136,260 | 17,783,028 | 8,242,118 | 5,915,704 | 33077110 |
| serious injury/death per thousand | 0.4 | 0.15 | 0.19 | 0.39 | 0.21 |
| selected adverse events | |
|---|---|
| arrhythmia | 39 |
| heart attack (MI) | 208 |
| cerebrovascular stroke | 521 |
| myocarditis | 121 |
| seizure | 52 |
| Guillain-Barre syndrome | 25 |
| disorders of the blood and circulation | 421 |
âdisorders of the blood and circulationâ includes VITT, pulmonary embolism, and an assortment of other thrombotic events (clotting).
Be aware that drugs are normally assessed for withdrawal on the absolute number of harms caused: in other words, a drug that is sold in large quantities must be considerably safer than one which is rarely prescribed in order to maintain its market authorization. COVID vaccines have now surpassed the normal adverse-event trigger for product withdrawal by about two orders of magnitude, with no apparent concern from regulators. This in itself should give you pause for thought.

One should also be aware that you assume a non zero risk of life changing injury or death by raw doggin the virus too.

When Omicron shows up in the community, there will be quite a bit of this going on, unfortunately.

Suspected serious adverse events after vaccination
This applies to deaths too.

Almost sounds like itâs intentionally and deceptively designed to scare people away from vaccines.
The report is entitled: 1101214 Notification of Adverse Events after COVID-19 Vaccination.pdf
My post accurately reflects the actual title of the CECC report.
Wrong. Donât mischaracterize. Read the actual title of the report, named by the CECC themselves.

But not the table you pulled the number from:
And you did not mention that fact when displaying the number.

Interesting that the deaths âwith Covid-19â at 849 are less than the 1193 deaths from âSuspected Adverse events after Vaccinationâ. I wonder whether the same criteria is used to record both.
âAdverse events following vaccinationâ is in itself sufficient â âfollowingâ and âafterâ donât necessarily imply a causal connection; they just mean that someone was vaccinated and later the adverse event happened.
I would say that the âsuspectedâ is unnecessary here, unless the rest of the phrase was âSuspected adverse events due to vaccinationâ or similar (which it isnât). If someone dies or has a severe blood clot, for example, the adverse event in itself isnât âsuspectedâ, as evidenced by the corpse or hospital patient. The causality may be ambiguous, but the adverse event isnât.

I didnât have to. I linked the CECC report. You can read it yourself, as can everyone else.
The CECC report is entitled: âNotification of adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination.â I have linked that report. A death in that table is one of those âadverse events after COVID-19 vaccination.â
The report says nothing about whether or not the COVID-19 vaccines have caused these adverse events, including deaths.

It would be better to be clear to avoid confusion if you post statistics. The deaths are deaths under âSuspected serious adverse events after vaccinationâ.

Are they dead, or suspected dead? Someone should really check.

Ask the people who made the statistics 
You were confused? The CECC report is entitled âNotification of Adverse Events after COVID-19 Vaccination.â Itâs a very clear unambiguous title. Anything in that report is thus an âAdverse event after COVID-19 vaccination,â is it not? Including the 1193 deaths.
The report doesnât necessarily imply any definitive causality between (or explicit connection to) the COVID-19 vaccines and these adverse events, and neither did I, so why should you be at all confused?
