We do not know the true denominator in covid cases. We do know the true denominator in vaccines.
You cannot compare percentages like that. But I know, the math….. it’s hard……..
Of course I can.
The numbers may not be perfect. But they are the best we have.
Even if all 320 million people in the nation had gotten covid instead of just the 34 million diagnosed. The infection fatality rate would be 612,000/320 million or 0.19%.
So my conclusion wouldn’t change at all. The vaccine in the short run is far safer than getting the virus. But the vaccine is not perfectly safe.
