But at least he is safe from that 0.1% (if that) chance of dying from the coronavirus, if he caught it. Well, he’s safer, anyway ... for a few months ... maybe.

I think young people have less than a .1% chance of dying from Covid. However, there is evidence that Covid can come with long-term health ramifactions. I have no idea what that number is, but I suspect it is higher than .1%.

The reverse of this that seems to be completely lost here on FR in the entrenched discussion is that older Americans with risk factors DO NOT have the same survival rate.

Our government and media have pushed a “one-size fits all” approach to this virus from the outset and its a big mistake.

Each person has an individual health profile with risks specifically associated to them. It is no different with Covid. Age, BMI, diabetes, and other health factors have a big influence on your probability of a negative outcome from Covid.

We are now past a year of this crap and too few want to admit this or discuss it.

There is more than enough information out there to suggest the vaccine is no different yet we have the same “experts” who have failed to admit this pushing a total vaccination plan that is not warranted by “the science”.

An excellent podcast, by the way is the Bret Weinstein Darkhorse podcast, which explores many issues with Covid and Covid vaccines in-depth. One such episode was “Absolute Vs Relative risk reduction from COVID vaccines”. In the podcast they talk about the way the media has touted the vaccines being 90% or 95% “effective”. However, this is only the relative risk reduction. In actuality, the absolute risk-reduction of the vaccines is something less than 2%.
