The Mrna Vaccines are 95% effective. So, let’s do the math. 95% effective means, that for every 100 vaccinated, 5 will still get it, and a certain percentage of those who still catch Covid even though vaccinated might die.

So:

100 = 5
1000 = 50
10000 = 500

So, if we assuming that approximately 1% of those who catch covid die of it, that’s 5 that might die for every 10,000 fully vaccinated.

So... let’s keep doing the math, between 50-60% of Americans have now been vaccinated. So.. lets just say 160 million are vaccinated:

So if 5 fully vaccinated people might still die for every 10,000 vaccinated, that’s .... 16,000 fully vaccinated people who might still die of Covid in the US alone.

So why do people keep posting these stories as if they are a surprise and are news?

One word: fear.

Same reason the media and the Democrats talked up COVID-19 as though it was going to end human civilization in March and April last year. Everyone has an agenda to push, whether it’s anti-vaccine or massive liberal spending projects and social policy.

That’s not what 95 percent effective means. It was .04 percent that actually got infected, not 5 percent. It means that the vaccinated were 95 percent less likely then the control group to get infected. Another way to say it is 20 times less likely. By the way, natural immunity did the same thing over a longer period.
