This is the CDC site on reported adverse events including possible deaths. It is updated regularly. As I've said, yes so far these events are "rare". So is getting struck by lightning if you walk in a field during a storm. But it happens.

After a quick look, I don't see any info. on the new problem of pericarditis and myocarditis (i.e. heart problems) amongst young people who have taken the vaccine, but I could have missed it.
Maybe they need more time to research the problems, and hopefully will update the site asap as it seems people need to know these risks, however small they might be.

So is a shark attack, after getting chased out of the water by an 8 ft bull shark a couple years ago, and having covid last year, hoping I don't get strike 3 soon.

Glad you survived both the shark and the covid!
No matter how "rare" shark attacks might be, when there's even a sighting of a shark, most beaches will have warning signs put up.
At some beaches here in California and in Hawaii (and probably Florida and elsewhere), the signs are permanent fixtures even though an actual attack may have never even happened.
Yet there will be many who live with their head in the sand completely ignoring the warnings, and chances are they'll be safe, but then there's that one attack that will justify all the warning signs.
The same should be done with all vaccines and medications that have caused problems - sure they're probably 99.9% safe, but there's that .1% who might not be so lucky.

I've walked Central Park after dark and lived to tell the tale. People thought I was crazy.

I have read though that CovID was found in blood samples taken in Italy (for purposes of studies on cancer?) much earlier than the known outbreak in China. I can’t recall the source though.

Is catching Covid rare? Dying from it rare?

I recall someone posting a comment hoping that a bunch of people at some White House ceremony died of CovID. If that isn’t hate...

To answer your question, I was referring to adverse events after being vaccinated.
Edit to add: Off topic, you mentioned you were at this show (and possibly caught Covid that night) but, in case you weren't aware, there's a forthcoming release: [www.merchmountain.com]

California now jumping on the incentives bandwagon...
(CNN) California will unveil $116.5 million in vaccine incentives
Vaccine$$$
In an effort to get more people vaccinated, California is enticing residents with a whopping $116.5 million in incentives, offering gift cards and cash prizes, including a $15 million grand prize to be split among 10 Californians who have been vaccinated against Covid-19. The $116.5 million program, touted as "the biggest in the entire country," will include every resident who has already been vaccinated, and those who receive a shot before the state fully reopens on June 15, according to a release from Gov. Gavin Newsom's office.
Starting today, the next two million residents vaccinated will be eligible for $100 million in gift cards, doled out in $50 increments as a prepaid Visa or grocery store gift card. The incentive festivities will include "$50,000 Fridays." There will be $50,000 up for grabs in the form of 30 cash prizes for those getting a Covid-19 shot on June 4 and June 11, with 15 winners selected on each date.
About 50% of eligible Californians are already fully vaccinated and another 12% have received one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, but another 12 million residents are eligible but have not yet been inoculated. More than 37 million doses total have been administered in California — more than all but five nations in the world, according to Newsom. Should a winner under the age of 18 be chosen, the cash will be placed into a savings account for them until they turn 18. Inmates, those who work for the state's health department or for the lottery will not be eligible to win any of the prizes.

I wish this was not necessary but if it puts shots in arms I am all for it. I will have to use this on the cute bank teller at my bank who is hesitant. She is the target market.
