    Never mind that the survival rate of Covid is well over 99.5 % thats another debate but It appears to me that people who are not worried about the side or after effects of the vaccine ---> should be.

    Just go my second shot of Pfizer today. I hope this time around side effects are milder.

    From the article. Doesnt seem like too big a deal.

    "If you have an opportunity to get the vaccine, Dr. Parkinson urges you to get it because appointments are limited. He adds that rescheduling a mammogram screening a month or two won’t be as impactful."

    That's wrong, Tex. The fatality rate from COVID-19 in the US is over 1.5%; it's over two percent worldwide.

    In the US, Covid deaths surpass those of accidents, lower respiratory disease and stroke combined and are exceeded only by cancer and heart disease. Should we just ignore those too because you think they're insignificant? Should someone being treated for heart disease or cancer also ignore those diseases so as not to inconvenience themselves by postponing routine screening tests? What's your point? Do you have one?

    US fatality rates as per the CDC

    Age 0-19 - infection fatality rate = 0.00003%

    Age 20-49 - infection fatality rate = 0.0002%

    Age 50-69 - infection fatality rate = 0.005%

    Age 70 plus - infection fatality rate = 0.054%

    Can you cite where you get this information? The case fatality rate for the United States is 1.8%.

    https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

    https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid

    I don't know what back channels you're getting your information from.

    That's a risk I'm willing to take.

    I think he may have used the decimal figures and put the % sign behind it. I read once the fatality rate for those over 65 was somewhere around 5% which would be .05

    Yea well you also tried giving us lessons on how easily voting booths could be hacked, but then said you couldn't live up to the POTUS bet without mod interference because you didn't know how to change your profile pic.

    To say the least, I don't think there's a single person here that respects your opinion (at minimum).

    Now your back to posting fake data in bold with 0 context or links. Please go back to weather thread, nobody wants your take anywhere else on this board.

    All it would take is simple grade school math for him to determine the death rate in the U.S. is over 1.75% and around 2.25% worldwide. Well, I should say "simple grade school math" for some.

    Even if it was only .5%, I don't think that would be any comfort to the families of those 140,000 dead. I can image the doctor coming out, "Sorry but your husband died but on the bright side only X number of people will die from this". Sometimes people don't think before posting.

    Got Moderna dose 1 today at 1:15 PM. Have to admit I was pretty nervous to get it.

    Very surreal experience because I got it at one of the super sites and it felt very like a very historical moment.

    Crazy. My college roommate's wife and her co-workers got J&J and they all got 104 fevers.

    No idea what they do or if they had COVID.

    Everything about this virus and the vaccines have been so random.
