Hmmm.

So let's take the (very) small sample as representative.

With the vaccine, two out of seven die.

That's a 28% fatality rate.

What does the vaccine do as far as someone's ability to shed live virus?

...keeping in mind that the fatality rate for the infamous 1918 influenza was around 5%...

“With the vaccine, two out of seven die.

Meaningless comment without factoring in the severity or length of time of the infection.

My understanding is that it was 10% to 20% and that 3% to 6% of the world's population died. 50 to 100 million people, 3 to 6 times the number that died in the war.

My dad told me a story of watching his dad and uncles carry 6 bodies, the entire family, out of the house next door. He was 7.

And 35 out of 35 monkeys were cured. It may have to do with how far along the disease was in the individual.

Nothing wrt shedding. But it roughly doubles survivability if administered LATE. Prob much better if administered early.

/based on what I’ve read, YMMV
