@adolfolerito6744 I like having the actual information laid out like this. But notice, for example, in my state, 11% of the total population had a confirmed case of COVID that came to the attention of state health authorities. By now, it could be higher, so let's say 12%. (The true number could be much higher, 20 to 30%, but that is not known, and most of those cases were undoubtedly mild.) Of those 12%, under 2% died (roughly 1.85%, but let's go with 2%, which mirrors the US as a whole). So, 0.24% of the people in my state have died of COVID since the very start of the pandemic. This is a huge number; after all, 0.1% of one million is 1000. But that puts a different spin on it. The fact that so many people who had moderate COVID had organ damage and other problems, including major depression, is a better argument to take the risk of vaccination -- if it works. But that's starting to look questionable as well. More and more fully vaccinated ARE contracting moderate COVID. It is only fair to ask: is vaccination giving people a false sense of security? Maybe we better be less "vaccine-centric." Maybe other avenues, like better prevention and treatment, need to be found, in addition to vaccines.
