AMEN times a thousand my friend. You just summed up 99% of this story. If more folks could look at those facts you stated, as obvious as they are, and go a different route with how we are dealing with this, then folks like your family would be a lot healthier physically, mentally, and economically. Glad to you know that someone out there shares the exact same mindset as me.Yeah is this the same science where the PA health director that’s a man, thinks he’s a woman? And the plexiglass is up between self-checkout at Wally World but no one wipes down the key pad of the debit/credit card machine between each of its thousand uses a day. No one under the age of 70 has died in my county. Had an old man in the grocery store parking lot tell my wife not to wear flip flops because she can get Covid through the ground. What did the vaccine finish at in effectiveness anyway? Last I saw it was 90-95% effective? So your chances of getting it and beating it are greater than the vaccine actually working? You don’t need a mask, you need a mask, cloth masks don’t work better than paper masks, you still need to wear a mask after you get vaccinated has turned into people publicly shaming you for not wearing one outside in the fresh air, or following the directional signs on the floor in a store. The only pandemic that you needed to actually get tested to see if you have it. Tesla takes 4 tests in the same day using the same machine and gets 2 positive and 2 negative results. Not to mention allllll the conflicting data and info around the bs tests in general.. what this allowed the people to do who make decisions in this country should be all you need to know. My family and friends have literally lost everything they’ve worked decades to build. Thankfully none of them came remotely close to dying from this. It was common sense before, if you were sick, stay away from grandma and grandpa or anyone who’s immune-compromised. Trust the science? In this case, that’s going to be a no from me.

Do we know what the long term effects of said vaccine are either?With the vaccine you have an approximately 5% chance getting it. Without it, you have a 100% chance of getting Covid, with a very slim chance of dying from it. You also have the possibility of long term effects, albeit also slim. What those effects are and how long they last is an unknown right now.

These are dependent events (in order to die from covid, you have to get it). So you have to multiply the probabilities. Assume you are exposed to the virus, whether or not you get sick is dependent on a lot variables. But for simplicities sake let’s just say it’s a 50% probability you get infected without the vaccine. Assume the odds of death after infection is 0.5%.With the vaccine you have an approximately 5% chance getting it.

While I’m not a statistician, I’ve had Statistics in college and I do not remember that math being this simple. Checking your arithmetic in my head I believe most if not all of your equations are incorrect Sir.These are dependent events (in order to die from covid, you have to get it).

Without vaccine= .5x.005=0.25% chance of death after exposure
With vaccine of 95% effectiveness = .05x.005=0.025% chance of death after exposure.
If the chance of infection is 90% after exposure. .9x.005=.45%
the point is even with a efficacy of 95% the probabilities improve substantially.
How long til I 100% get it? Haven’t gotten it yet, but that would be good to know so I can cancel my gym membership then and hunker down. Sure it could be a matter of time, but that is not 100% certain. I could die on the road driving for work or anything else that is more dangerous. My wife’s grandpa died a few years back hanging Christmas lights.

Good luck on the head count.Anyway, this has all been hashed out before. I'll up date you guys if I grow three heads or something.
Does 3 heads equal 3 votes next election?Good luck on the head count.
I did, they are correct.While I’m not a statistician, I’ve had Statistics in college and I do not remember that math being this simple. Checking your arithmetic in my head I believe most if not all of your equations are incorrect Sir.
As far as the vaccine goes, I’ll get at the end of the line.
