Simply not true. 95% effective means 5 out of 100 are susceptible to exposure.

We know that of those susceptible, 95% will not get it, and of the 5% that will get it, 98% will survive.

The math gets rather long but of a sampling of 50,000, 2500 are susceptible

Of that 2500, 100 will get Covid.

Of that 100, more than 98 will survive

So effectively, 1 in 50,000 will not survive....

That's the math...

See above. You do not understand how effectiveness is calculated so please until you do stop trying to tell people "that's the math". Efficacy has nothing to do with susceptible.
