I usually tell people that it's safer than birth control. 1 in 1000 women experience severe complications from birth control, and we hand that stuff out like candy.

So true. Sadly it's often those same types of people against vaccines who are against birth control as well.

I don't think that's making the point you think it is.

Depends on if people are willing to listen to facts of incidence of actual adverse effects from the vaccine or not, something like 1 in 2.6 million people will see adverse side effects (depending on source of statistic). Also depends on what health issue you're looking for issues with. But the overwhelming concensus is that the vaccine is safe. 1 in 1000 is orders of magnitude larger than the covid vaccine adverse effects.
