And I think the people throwing that number out there fully know that.
My feeling on this matter is, if I said to people that if you are in the 50-59 year old range that your odds of dying of COVID (as illustrated below) are similar to the odds of being hit and killed by a car as you walk down the road, how many people would think it was a good idea to put our country through these mandated vaccinations, societal upheavals and divisions, bankruptcies of business, and destruction of the economy and that of future generations?
Not many, I will wager. And that is the biggest issue I have with all of this. People have been intentionally misled as to the real danger of this virus (which CAN be dangerous to certain people) but it is NOT smallpox of bubonic plague. There has been no serious risk assessment on this virus, and the entire thing has been driven by emotion and politics.
That was why I view askance the way this has been presented to the public.
