Legendary investor Charlie Munger, speaking with Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer in an exclusive interview, spoke bluntly about vaccine hesitancy in the U.S.
“I have been appalled by the fear of vaccination by a big chunk of the nation,” the Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman said when asked about the COVID-19 pandemic. “Speaking for myself, I couldn’t wait to be vaccinated. And I think the risks of being vaccinated are way less than the risk of not being vaccinated."
According to the CDC, there’s a minuscule 0.002% chance of the vaccine causing death while approximately 5 people per one million vaccinated in the U.S. have gone into anaphylactic shock. In comparison, according to the CDC, unvaccinated individuals are at least 14 more likely to die from COVID than someone who is fully vaccinated and 68 times more likely to die from the virus than someone who has received their booster shot.
About 64.5% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated, according to the CDC, meaning that about 35.5% of the population is not fully vaccinated.
“It’s really, massively stupid not to welcome vaccination,” the 98-year-old Munger said. “We probably have 30% of the people in the country that think vaccination is evil and [are] coming after them like the hobgoblins. It’s not good that there’s that much ignorance left.

“If I were running the world, of course it would be mandatory,” Munger said. “When I was in World War Two’s army, they didn’t ask me if I wanted a vaccination. They just vaccinated me. It didn’t hurt me or anybody else in that world. We all just submitted to whatever the government told us to submit to. And it was no big deal…..”

”Fought” might be a stretch. He joined the Atmy Air Corp. and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant. Then he went to. I’ll Eve to study meteorology. No indication that he left CONUS.
College.
That's artificially low, because people dying from it within two weeks of getting it, are labeled as dying from COVID.
That happened to my cousin, three days after he got his first vaccine injection. He was fine and uninfected when he got the shot, then dead three days later in the hospital. Cause given? COVID.
There’s no fool like an old fool.

You Pharma investments not making you enough money yet, Munger?
He can die appalled.
He got The Saline.
RIP Charlie.
Is it not true the High Fructose Corn Syrup is added to many, many processed food items with a result of more obesity in the US population?
What about Trans fats? Sugar? The list goes on of large companies changing their product recipes to increase their profits, at the risk of the consumers long term health!
So why, should not the American population be wary of BIG PHARMA and BIG Government conspiring to adulterate their vaccines and boosters to create more profit, and not be overly concerned with the short- and long-term negative affects on the recipients of the vaccines? Just curious.
He can take all the jabs he want in his posterior. I won’t take a SINGLE ONE. I DO NOT TRUST any of the “elite” in politics or medicine any more.
How can that mean anything, when the defintion keeps changing?
