One dimensional thinking. If the vaccine prevented deaths then they work. If 100% of people were vaccinated some would die, and 100% of them would be vaccinated. From the numbers I gave with a 1% base rate of deaths among elderly, 95% vaccinated, and 9 in 10 deaths being vaccinated, would mean 50% reduction in deaths.

Ah yes, you have no rebuttal to my point that by the numbers, you provided, vaccination cut deaths in half. So you link to a video which has to include the disclaimer:

*THIS VIDEO IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS SUCH. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN IF YOU HAVE MEDICAL NEEDS/QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED

Anyway, not only does that video not say "vaccines dont work" the article they use to claim myocarditis, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0

is an observational study which really does not impress me. Regardless, as that paper itself says:

In summary, this population-based study quantifies for the first time the risk of several rare cardiac adverse events associated with three COVID-19 vaccines as well as SARS-CoV-2 infection. Vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 in adults was associated with a small increase in the risk of myocarditis within a week of receiving the first dose of both adenovirus and mRNA vaccines, and after the second dose of both mRNA vaccines. By contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a substantial increase in the risk of hospitalization or death from myocarditis, pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmia.*

Given the exponential growth of viruses, and the fact that all the numbers show vaccines reduce deaths and slow the spread of covid. Even if it a small reduction, given exponential growth, a small change in growth rate makes a big difference. For example the difference between 1 person giving 9 people covid and 10 is 59,000 versus 100,000 by 5 generations . It is obvious to anyone with half a brain that vaccinating everyone has caused a reduction in deaths from COVID, that exceeds any adverse effects resulting from the vaccine..

Have fun with your schizophrenic paranoia though.

but I'm the schizo ok

maybe tell people "I'm neurodivergent please be kind" and you'll get less pushback from people you can't comprehend what they're saying

Lmao the irony. At least I know one of us is capable of doing math.

Check your numbers. 3000 deaths over 80, and 240 of them were unvaxxed meanwhile the vax rate is 95% for that age group. 1000 deaths for 70-79 and 129 were unvaxed while their vax rate is 99.5%+. Do the math yourself and maybe people will think you're smart.

The only maths I needed to do for myself was to wait and look at the safety numbers on the illness itself. BEFORE accounting for confounding variables like being a fatass with diabetes, my demographic had a 0.0008 chance of dying and 0.09% of going to the hospital. That's not enough to persuade me to do literally anything, but especially not take a new gene therapy with zero safety record or even marginally-adequate short term testing LOL
