As someone who is unvaccinated I have to agree with you.
For example, let’s say you have a sample of 10,000 people. 8000 have brown hair and 2000 have blond hair.

If 50 brown haired people are involved in car crashes while 25 blond haired people are involved in car crashes, you might think, “Wow, it’s a lot safer to be have brown hair”.

But you’d be forgetting the fact that there are, in the sample of 10K people, 4X as many people that have brown hair as have blonde hair. So percentage wise, it’s actually safer to have brown hair.

Correction to my example:

“You might think it’s safer to have blonde hair, in my first example.”
