Well, most things depend on the patient.
Thats why lots of smokers live to be 90.

Heh. I’ve been smoking 2-5 packs of Marlboros/ day, since 1967.

At 71, with 5 co-morbidities, I sure won’t make it to 90.

Dad, decorated WWII Vet European Theater and Battle of The Bulge, made it to 95.

Correct.

That is why the "get your vaccine now--it is safe" statements by "experts", politicians and the media are totally insane.

Statistics are dangerous unless all their components are deeply understood.
