A 99.9999 efficacy rate for a virus with a 99.7% survival rate. But there are still mask mandates.

You can’t compare the efficacy rate and survival rate directly.

You need to combine the two. If you have a .0001% chance of getting a virus with a 99.7% survival rate that means you have a 99.9997% chance of survival with the vaccine.

You have to decide for yourself if the vaccine is worth the risk, but you should use the correct numbers when deciding.

The survival rate for those who catch the disease is 98.3...the overall death rate is probably 0.3 percent if you include the whole population including those who never get the disease, who never had confirmed tests as well as those who did.

How many ultimately will not even catch the disease(vaccinated or not) in their life times...I don’t think anyone can guess. If you get the disease there is an over all 1.7 percent chance you may die from it but generally younger persons with no co-morbidities will sail right thru. About another 1-5 percent of the recovered may have lingering after effects that may last some months and some experience lasting damage to some system or other of their bodies but those statistics are still fluid.
