Only if you put some spin on it. I mean, five times more likely to die if unvaxxed sounds a lot scarier than saying the chance goes from 105 per million people to 532 per million.

A five fold increase in death should scare most everyone. Especially if it can be easily prevented.

You must be terrified to drive. 9,345 per million chance of dying.

Nope… there has been decades of putting safety measures and risk reduction into motor vehicles.

it is all about assessing risk.

And yet…

Has nothing to do with caring, it has to do with being rational. For comparison, you have a one in one hundred and seven chance of dying in a car accident over the course of your life.

Not sure that is the more rational concern at this point in time. ~40,000 people a year die in auto accidents. There’s been ~550,000 deaths from covid in the year since since vaccines have been available.

It’s rational to be afraid if you are elderly and or immunocompromised, otherwise, no. That 550k is not distributed evenly across the population.

It is distributed heavily towards the unvaccinated.

Not the only factor.

It is like I don’t ride a bike without a helmet.

I dunno about anyone else here, but I’ve been living a completely normal life for the last two years, just as I have for the last forty or so.

I almost feel like I could feel bad for the morons who’ve been taking commands from Prime Time. Must be the germ pits they live in or something. lol

Your life for the last 40 years has been anything but “normal.”

Totally normal on this side of the eyeballs though. lol
