I honestly still can't figure out why so many people are so eager to take a hastily-formulated experimental vaccine to fight a virus with a 99-percent-plus recovery rate.

Because the "99 percent-plus" recovery rate does not apply universally across the board.

There are several factors that significantly chip away at that 99% plus survival rate you're quoting:

There's age (over 60) and there are "comorbidities" (other illness) that put someone at greater risk of a long recovery or none at all --- at any age.

These risks include: obesity, lung disease (COPD, asthma), cardiovascular disease (arteriosclerosis, heart valve disorders, heart rhythm disorders, high blood pressure), existing immune system disorders, liver disease.

So that blanket 99%+ recovery you're quoting may be giving some folks a false sense of security.

Encourage people to make the best, informed decision they can make for themselves after talking with their personal physicians.

Just my $.02

"comorbidity" is another colossal lie of this age.

Obesity, lung disease (COPD, asthma), cardiovascular disease (arteriosclerosis, heart valve disorders, heart rhythm disorders, high blood pressure), existing immune system disorders and liver disease are all MORBIDITIES. More than 1% die with or of these afflictions every year, always have and always will. If, incidentally, a newly deceased person had a sniffle (cold), we don't tell an accursed abominable outrageous statistical lie and say the cause of death was the "sniffle" with "coborbidities".

Wuhan CCP Corona is the "comorbidity" of our dying civilization.
