I think that, for some, percentages, math and statistics are apparently hard. For the following extract from your linked report:

“Israel’s Health Ministry announced results of a study in the country that showed that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was 98.9% effective at preventing COVID-19 deaths. In the study it was 99.2% effective in preventing serious disease...”

Perhaps they’ll understand better using actual numbers. For example- “for every 1,000 deaths that would occur in an unvaccinated population, the vaccine will prevent 989 of those deaths and for every 1,000 serious COVID-19 illnesses that would occur in an unvaccinated population, the vaccine will prevent 992 of those serious illnesses.”

Of course, for those who are simply being deliberately obtuse, nothing will help them overcome that obtuseness.

That is absolutely correct and it illustrates why one if they don’t want to risk spending a few weeks in ICU and a few hundred grand in medical bills should consider getting what effectively is the cure. The whole point of the vaccines are to teach your body AHEAD OF TIME how to kill this bug so you don’t have to fight it with zero.natural immunity. The vaccines make you already full of killer antibodies so when the virus gets in your lungs and to your ACE2 cells they already have the blockers for the spike proteins and the virus cannot replicate. At that point your Tcells surround the virus kill it and your kidneys remove it from your body.

So why hang with us?

The same people in the age group mindlessly taking the vax are also most likely to fall for Bharat’s “IRS good golly gosh charges from Delhi” script.
