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.

something else that increases your chance of living is just not going to the hospital....there, they will kill you

You make the common mistake of equating “cases” with sickness. They are frequently NOT THE SAME.

Thanks for the summary. I concur with your analysis.

I would only add that they economic and social cost of getting sick is what causes quarantines and business shutdowns. Don’t get me wrong, hospitalization and treatment until death are super expensive. However, if public policy is to vaccinate everyone to restart the economy that is a false premise that will not accomplish its purpose.

Big woop. There is a 99% chance of surviving it.

"BUT, it sure is remarkably helpful to prevent you from going to the hospital and dying. And that is across ALL age brackets."

True, if you just look at the comparative numbers, but notice how low the death rate is even for the unvaccinated: under 50, .5 per 100,000, over 50, 25.5 per 100,000. In other words, nearly all of the unvaccinated survive this illness.

"BUT, it sure is remarkably helpful to prevent you from going to the hospital and dying. And that is across ALL age brackets."

Nonetheless, the fact that in most of the older age groups the double-vaccinated have more cases than the unvaccinated is a red flag. Why would that be, and does it point to some cumulative adverse effects caused by the vaccines? And what of deaths attributed to other causes (heart attack, stroke, etc.) among the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated? I would like to see some statistics on that.
