I conclude the vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting sick — in fact, it increases your chance of getting sick if you are in the Age 40-79 bracket.
BUT, it sure is remarkably helpful to prevent you from going to the hospital and dying. And that is across ALL age brackets.

Notice the 80+% effectiveness against hospitalizations and deaths!
something else that increases your chance of living is just not going to the hospital....there, they will kill you

See ?

Yeah I’m not sure this is making the point he thinks it is.
“See ?”
No.

You make the common mistake of equating “cases” with sickness. They are frequently NOT THE SAME.
C'mon man! Malpractice only kills 250,000 people per year.
I don't follow statistics because by their very nature they are damned. As the case with their brethren the polls, statistics are where the truth is sent in order to be crucified.
Now as a student of history I've noticed patterns. Here's one:
War on Poverty
War on Drugs
War on Terror
War on COVID
I’m sure FR’s very own resident physicians and pro-vaxxers will be arriving shortly to dispute this report.
Much as I don’t like the notavax, the numbers seem to show that it is effective at reducing hospitalization and death. Those are the two important numbers.
The headline is misleading; it looks at the least important stat. There is no ‘herd immunity’ for this. Everyone is eventually going to get it.
Still not taking the notavax, though.
BUT THE NARRATIVE!
99.99% survival rates for the youth naturally
"The data comes from the Second Generation Surveillance System (SGSS), the relationship of which to the Government dashboard data is unclear, though the figures are similar. It reports 722,728 cases in the reporting period, compared to the dashboard figure of 727,010 by specimen date, so this seems comprehensive. On the other hand, it includes 6,605 hospitalisations, whereas the dashboard has 21,242, more than three times as many, though this may be due to how it counts hospitalisations (“Cases whom presented to emergency care (within 28 days of a positive specimen), resulting in overnight inpatient admission”). It has 2,381 deaths, against the dashboard’s 2,496, so again this is most of them."
“... mistake of equating “cases” with sickness. They are frequently NOT THE SAME.”
Agreed. This “case” measurement is just nuts. Hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths are what really matter.
ZERO deaths in Idaho below age 18!!
Not a single one! 1.8 million people.
