But, in interest of trying not to make myself look like I'm really stupid I posit the following:

1990 – First vaccine for Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome
1991 – First vaccine for hepatitis A[13]
1998 – First vaccine for Lyme disease
1998 – First vaccine for rotavirus[14]
21st century
2003 – First nasal influenza vaccine approved in U.S. (FluMist)
2003 – First vaccine for Argentine hemorrhagic fever.[15]
2006 – First vaccine for human papillomavirus (which is a cause of cervical cancer)
2012 – First vaccine for hepatitis E[16]
2012 – First quadrivalent (4-strain) influenza vaccine
2013 – First vaccine for enterovirus 71, one cause of hand foot mouth disease[17]
2015 – First vaccine for malaria[18]
2015 – First vaccine for dengue fever[19]
2019 – First vaccine for Ebola approved[20]
2020 – First vaccine for COVID-19.

I'm not a huge fan of the source but that was just a quick search. Again, all respect, just defending my position how I don't think the vaccine has been proven safe; from the viewpoint of an uneducated Bravo.

Now, on to Box's word challenge..........

I stand corrected! I over-stated my case. I should have pointed out that (i) total adverse events not normalized to the test subject population is very misleading and (ii) not reporting co-morbidity in the test subject populations further skews the results.

When I see graphs like these, my first reaction is that the author has an agenda and is trying to be convincing to a lay audience. I suspect that is the case here. I should have done my research and dived into the weeds before posting. I appreciate you calling me out on this one!

Finest Kind Brother!

Good job on the word scramble too.

Note added for clarification: A meaningful comparison would be adverse events observed per capita over the same time (90 days for example) post vaccination for each vaccine, and of course gender and age matched.
