When they believe that a 99.97% survivable sniffle is the Black Death.
When they believe that filthy cloth rags will “save” them from the
survivable sniffles.
When they believe that their vaccination isn’t effective unless
EVERYONE is vaccinated.

Yup, the vaccinated have about a 1 in a million chance of dying from Covid-19 Farmer-Rick Sep 2021 #12

Your comparison is bogus, apples to oranges. Your bases are different and your time periods bogus Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #22

So you are saying a vaccinated person has a 20 in a million chance of dying from Covid-19? Farmer-Rick Sep 2021 #38

That's my best educated guess. I'm not an epidemiologist Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #42

Thanks for keeping me straight. Farmer-Rick Sep 2021 #46

But there are variations according to age groups wnylib Sep 2021 #61

Actually, your original figure of 0.2% applies NOW AND your/OP analogy still powerful. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #34

And That 2% Disease modrepub Sep 2021 #15

Point is great, but that statistic is bogus. Actual figures are 0.2% or 1.6% Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #17

Not following the 2% being 2/1000? pwb Sep 2021 #20

Arithmeticly, 2% of 50,000 is 1,000. But you didn't read my post. 2% DOES NOT APPLY. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #23

The O P said 98% survive? That leaves 2%? pwb Sep 2021 #24

And the professor's argument is that the OP does not describe reality FBaggins Sep 2021 #27

Yes. 98.4% survive a positive test result. 99.8% of the population has survived so far. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #32

The OP is wrong. You don't get the vaccine AFTER case confirmation. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2021 #29

Nor are the remaining undecideds a mirror of the entire population FBaggins Sep 2021 #33

I think the professor is trying to correct the stadium analogy FBaggins Sep 2021 #26
