Next, I compare the deaths from the vaccine versus the deaths from the disease, as a percentage.
Allowing for covid to be twice (.030%) as deadly as the flu at .015%. There are lots of arguments avoit this, but this is MY napkin math.
flu deaths from vax are 0.53% (half a percent) compared to deaths from the disease.
covid deaths from vax are 5.97% compared to deaths from the disease.
I’m totally down for those odds with the flu vax.
Now suppose virtually everyone is going to catch covid. Let’s take a group of 100 of them who would die pre-vax. Let’s assume the best of the vax, and it saves 95 from dying. 5 still die. PLUS another 6 died of the shot itself. So instead ofbbn 100 dying, 11 die. Huh. That’a better.
more ....
My PERSONAL odds of dying are lower, because I’m 59, in very good health for my age, and have all the prophylactics and treatments on hand. So I’m feeling lucky.
Then, there are the unknowns. The covid vax is software engineering. I know software. It never has long term unexpected bugs .... right? So color me sceptical.
That leaves me with reasonably strong 89% numbers in favor of the vax, personal resilience, and scepticism.
I’ll wait as long as I can, until virtually forced.
