But the fatality rate for someone under 65 is less than 1% - so the vaccine's effectiveness is less than if you took no vaccine at all?
Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm hoping that was simply poorly written instead of a deliberate effort to mislead.
What they mean is that a vaccinated person has only 1% of the chance of an unvaccinated person of contracting and dying of COVID. 1% of 1% is 1 in 10,000.
zactly.
and the overall survival rate is about 98.6%....give or take-probably higher now...so the worry is really any effects of the vaccine
This is how COVID-19 took off in Italy when their Chinese textile workers came back from the Chinese New Year celebrations in Wuhan, China. It was Fashion Week in Italy. All the young Italians crowded into the event, flocking to the night clubs and bars. This was when COVID-19 was seeded into the population. Infected youths brought the infection home. Because of the economy, they lived with their parents. For them, they experienced a respiratory infection that was manageable and they got over it. Not for their parents. And these kids, while they were sick, took it out to the public, where it infected more and more people. In March 27, 2020 Italy hit 921 deaths after a quick climb. Italians had the fight of their lives because of young people, not knowing how the virus uses their low symptoms, to put the population in unresponsive indifference to their actions. That went on until fatalities skyrocketed. The lock downs were severe.
The misinformation about the virus is creating the same unresponsive indifference. And the worst of it is the unaccountability.
