I agree with you FWIW, but worth noting that many here think the # dead is basically fictitious and exaggerated.
Saw a stat earlier today that ~50% of all Republicans plan to not get the vac. That's staggering..but we've politicized this thing from day one, so why stop now?
Thankfully, wife and I get our first doses (Pfizer) next week..I'll admit to being more than a bit apprehensive but also IMHO very much needed to be able to get a more "normal" life..
The deaths were real, but the real cause was multiple existing comorbidities in majority of dead. Covid-19 was just the catalyst which delivered the final shot sooner.
Healthy people have very low mortality rate from covid. Small pox has 30% mortality rate among healthy people! I had those at age 8 in India and am lucky to be in the 70% survivors.
If I was younger than 50 and in good health and was not living with much older people at home, I would not bother with the vaccine either.
Thank you president Trump for helping this vaccine available with warp speed to seniors and other vulnerable people. It will be one of his best legacies in history.
