It's the exact same, but saying "per 1 million people" seems to make the number seem less than it actually is. Probably because it tricks people's brains into thinking about 1-2 people per 1 million people, which their brain subconsciously recognize as a small number.
It's intentionally deceptive.
And you also have the people who see things like this, recognize the oddity, and then give the post or article the benefit of the doubt. There are people who will read an article that words things intentionally weirdly to be deceptive, recognize the oddity, and then think "oh, that must just be a typo, they clearly mean the thing that most people would think this means, and not what it literally says." It's crazy.
Funnily enough, so far I know zero people who died. I only know a small handful of people who got it, and they all recovered, including a few old people in shit health.
I do know one person who had a stroke which caused permanent damage shortly after getting the shot though.
1-2% per 1 million people
Such a bizarre way of trying to minimize how big 1-2% actually is by redundantly throwing that large number in there.
1-2% of 1,000,000 is 10,000-20,000. What’s the big whoop?
Your comment would be deleted for disinformation if you wrote it under his comment.
1-2% doesn't need a "per". It's already per cent.
1-2% per 1 million people, 1-2% per two people, and 1-2% per ten gajillion quintillion people is the exact same measure.
Yes. That was my point.

And it happens all of the time.
When they attacked people going "that means people you know would die! Pick out who you want to die right now so we can shame you!"

Makes you think.
That's an easy one, though.
"Pick out who you want to die right now!"
"OK, if I have to. Since you're insisting you know how to run my life better than me, I'll pick you!"
