And what about Africa, people were predicting absolute catastrophe there, the least vaccinated continent and they breezed through it compared to the rest of the world.

You're entirely wrong. The roll-out of vaccines especially in the most populated areas helped a lot (though I would say that, I guess, since that was literally my job) - but Covid still had a massive impact in Africa. The statistics didn't keep up, but talking to my doctor friends in East and West Africa painted an appalling picture at times.

Nobody is saying everything was perfect. Everything was done in a rush. EUAs were necessary to get jabs into arms - though Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines now have full FDA approval.

And all evidence suggests that adverse events from the vaccines are still less frequent and less damaging than those from being infected by Covid. I was lucky enough not to lose anyone close to Covid but with relatives suffering from Long Covid, I really don't buy the story of a mild disease that you're selling.

You're entirely wrong. .

Covid catastrophe in Africa would have been a massive news story if such a thing occurred. We'd all know about it.
You can google Africa and Covid and can see all sorts of explanations as to why they suffered less. Had to laugh at this one... National Library of Medicine: "Why are COVID-19 effects less severe in Sub-Saharan Africa? Moving more and sitting less may be a primary reason" If only we'd been told not to sit down.

Forgot to mention them asking for and being granted indemnity. Which should have told people all they needed to know. They knew the risk and that they couldn't say it was safe because it wasn't and isn't.
Because of how the rules and regulations were set up, they were pushing to get kids (who were at no risk) vaccinated because once they'd got them jabbed they wouldn't have to prove safety once the emergency period ran out to get approval. That's the level of evil we're dealing with here. They couldn't care less about health, only profit.

Nobody is now denying there is a link with the jab and heart issues (which are now accounting for significant excess deaths), so if long Covid is causing issues with that as well then everybody jabbed adds to the risk because the jab doesn't stop you getting Covid.
