Faulty logic. A more likely scenario is that people who are most susceptible to developing pneumonia are more likely to get it more than once.

Being a child of the '50s and a recipient of many vaccines that prevented numerous potentially lethal childhood diseases, I enthusiastically accepted the Covid vaccine. But following the first booster, I developed a heart arrhythmia (which I did not immediately associate with the vaccine) and after my second booster, a very low heart rate (~ 40). I voiced my suspicion that it might be from the vaccine, but my doctor said she could find those symptoms in the literature. But I skipped the next two rounds of booster and both symptoms eventually went away. My doctor now agrees that the vaccine was the likely cause (which she entered into my record, and she concurs with my decision to forgo any future boosters.
Looking back (hindsight is great,) the vaccine was an unnecessary risk. I had Covid twice. The first time, pre-vaccine and the second time after the first booster. The symptoms the first time were a scratchy throat and a slowly rising temperature (to 102) which quickly (3 days) dissipated. The second time sratchy throat for a couple of days and no temperature. I wouldn’t have even suspected that I had it if my wife hadn’t insisted that I test for it. The reality of Covid is that it was only mortally dangerous to people who were otherwise unwell. As an evolutionary mechanism, it increased the overall health of the species.

According to the Pfizer study they had to vaccinate 22,000 people to save one life and there were more than twice that reporting adverse events.
Its all in RFK Jr book. Fascinating read.

RFK is an idiot.
The 2023 study shows a slightly higher rate of miscarriages among women who were immunized against Covid-19 during their pregnancies. But, Velez said, that after adjusting for “variables that can confound a crude association,” like “age, rurality, neighbourhood income quintile, immigration status, comorbidity” and other factors that could affect the outcome, Canadian researchers found “no association between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and an increased risk of miscarriage.”
Clearly the message is not getting delivered.
Scientific evidence consistently fails to support mask efficacy: Multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses spanning decades have found no statistically significant reduction in viral transmission from community masking, with some studies showing higher infection rates among mask-wearers.
Documented harms are substantial and multifaceted: Research identifies “Mask-Induced Exhaustion Syndrome” (MIES), including measurable oxygen depletion, CO₂ retention, headaches, bacterial contamination, microplastic inhalation, and psychological distress—harms that cannot be justified without proven benefits.
Regulatory agencies reversed established guidance without new evidence: The WHO, CDC, and Surgeon General initially advised against community masking in early 2020, then reversed course within weeks under political pressure—not new scientific data—constituting a profound breach of public trust.
Health freedom advocates successfully challenged mandates and must remain vigilant: Organizations like Stand for Health Freedom mobilized nearly one million citizens to send over six million advocacy messages, winning legal victories and legislative protections that must now be defended as mask mandates resurface in 2025.

They were so effective you never thought once about wearing one until the government told you to and mandated it.
