This whole tennis match I found quite amusing.
People that repeat the "you can still give it if you're vaccinated" simply don't understand how immunity works on a cellular level. I would also go further as to say that even among the 5% there is _SOME_ immune response. It's a spectrum, not binary.
Using the .008 number, which strikes me as about right and adding in the chance of dying, you're starting to get out into the Six Sigma area. For people who don't understand what 6 deviations from the mean, means, this is that flat area of a bell curve, way, way out at the end.
The airline industry safety profile is at about six sigma, at least major carriers in western countries anyway. People have no problem getting on airplanes every day, but sure, some still do crash.
It reminds me of the scene from Dumb and Dumber.
LLOYD (CONT.)
I'm gonna ask you something flat out
and I want you to answer me honestly:
What do you think the chances are of
a girl like you and a guy like me
ending up together?
Mary is obviously thrown by this question.
MARY
Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I
mean we hardly --
LLOYD
--I asked you to be honest, Mary.
MARY
But Lloyd, I really can't --
LLOYD
--Come on, give it to me straight. I
drove a long way to see you, the
least you can do is level with me.
What are my chances?
MARY
Not good.
BEAT
LLOYD
You mean not good, like one out of a
hundred?
MARY
I'd say more like one out of a
million.
BEAT
LLOYD
(Duh)
So you're telling me there's a
chance?
