I hate this fucking thing because it's just scare mongering. In the US, dying from rabies is incredibly unlikely, like, 1 in 300,000,000 unlikely. You should be much more concerned about your commute to work or eating too much saturated fat before you worry about rabies.

That's literally exactly what I said, you just can't understand basic English it seems. The sentence I wrote means that whatever vaccine side effects you have plus whatever symptoms you have if you do get COVID are likely going to be overall better than what happens if you are unvaccinated and get COVID. That's it, and that is a fact backed by empirical scientific data.

So that means Joe Biden likely had a much better outcome from being vaccinated and dealing with whatever side effects he had from the vaccines than he would have if he caught COVID and was unvaccinated.

This isn't hard. Try reading beyond a 1st grade level and see if that helps.

Wow. You actually did fail English. You clearly don't know what "complication" means in medicine and you lack basic reading comprehension. All the things I said are true and are independent of each other.

A person with heart disease should get the vaccine.

A person with heart disease who is vaccinated will likely have a better outcome if they get COVID.

A person with heart disease who gets vaccinated is less likely to catch COVID.

A person with heart disease who is unvaccinated and catches COVID is much more likely to have a serious form of the disease that may require hospitalization and may lead to death.

Please pay careful attention to the use of the word "likely" and look it up in a dictionary if you need to.

Where did I claim 100%? Did you fail math and English? What school did you go to so I can make sure my kids never go there? Are you too thick to admit what 100% means? Guess what, the person who was fully vaccinated and died from COVID was definitely going to die from COVID if they weren't vaccinated. This isn't hard to understand for people who made it through middle school.

No one claimed it was going to save 100% of those vaccinated either! Did it save 100% of the vaccinated people from dying from COVID? No, it only saved like 99%, which apparently isn't good enough for you because you need some stupid talking points and you can't possibly back anything you say up with science, so you just keep running deeper and deeper down the whataboutism road. Apparently the only vaccines you think anyone should get are the ones that are 100% effective at preventing infection. Guess what, those don't exist! Yet somehow vaccines have ris the world of measles and polio, but I guess that's not good enough for you. Next time you feel sick, stay away from the hospital and doctors that rely on science, and instead go let some leeches suck the illness out of you.

It doesn't 100% COVID and no one in the scientific community ever claimed it did. It greatly lessened the severity of the disease if you did catch it though, but you just ignore that fact over and over again. I can't continue this conversation anymore. You're too far gone down the anti-science rathole to help. You're going to live the rest of your life in profound ignorance I fear.

Well, considering zero people have been strapped down and given a COVID shot, your point is moot. But do I think people in healthcare should be required to get a vaccine to continue their employment? Yes, duh.

Oh hey, guess what, if you have a preexisting heart condition, you're better off getting a vaccine because the complications from getting COVID are likely to be worse than that of the vaccine. But you know, science.

Wow. Just wow. You can't comprehend that the vast majority of people are vaccinated. Like, you just don't understand how this basic math works. I give up. I can't try anymore. You fail at understanding basic math. Let me try saying it a different way: a much higher percentage of the unvaccinated population dies from COVID than does the vaccinated population. Period. That's a fact. Your 58% number doesn't mean shit given that so many more people are vaccinated than are not. But you just don't get basic math.

>But as it currently stands, most covid deaths are vaccinated, statistically. Woof

That's because vaccinated people make up 80+% of the population (and 97% with at least one dose)! That means the less than 20% unvaccinated population makes up 42% of the deaths! Which shows being unvaccinated is fucking dumb.

I can't try and teach someone basic math over the Internet. I'm sorry your 7th grade math teacher failed you so badly.

So by your logic, if 100% of the population were vaccinated, and then one person died from COVID, meaning 100% of COVID deaths were in vaccinated people, then no one should be vaccinated because they obviously don't work? You are staggeringly bad at understanding basic math and statistics that I suspect you're beyond help.

Holy shit you are bad at math. The example I gave (and reality) show that you are more likely to die from COVID if you are unvaccinated. A higher percentage of the unvaccinated population dies from COVID, period. You just can't seem to comprehend that the vaccinated population is just much larger than the unvaccinated population.

Look at my example genius. In my example, using exaggerated numbers, it's 58% too. I used exaggerated numbers to explain why 58% of deaths being vaccinated isn't that big a deal when the vast majority of people are vaccinated.

If 80+% of the population is vaccinated, but just over 50% of deaths are in vaccinated people, that still tells you that unvaccinated people are a disproportionate share of the deaths, which tells you getting vaccinated is the smart thing to do.
