The vaccine lowers the risk of getting COVID from the original and UK variants (B 117) by ~95% and a lesser, unknown amount against the Brazil and S. African ones. It also reduces the risk of serious illness, hospitalization or death to zero or very close to it.
I realize many don't believe the real risk numbers and claim COVID has a "99.99%" survivability rate (which is not true - here in MI, for instance, there's a nearly 2% CFR). But as I've often said, it's not just the risk of death - a whole lot of people wind up having quite serious medical reactions up to and including the ICU - even IF they eventually recover. Worse, a large percentage (50-80% in published, peer reviewed studies published in Lancet and elsewhere) of patients have symptoms 3+ months AFTER "recovery". Some are thought to maybe be lifelong and permanent.
So, while I can't tell you why YOU should get poked..that's why wife and I did. We have a ~95% lower chance of getting the original or UK variant, lower risk of getting the other variants, and near zero risk of serious health ramifications or death if we do get the virus..
Hmmmmm okay I love numbers too.
So then you believe the CDC that the Michigan outbreak is due mainly because of those yet to be vaccinated?
