yep - last I read, out of 100,000,000 vaccinated, 9000 breakouts and 135 deaths, most of them due to a co-morbidity. So, rate of death is about as close to mon-existent as you can get. If you are vaccinated....

Those are the kind of odds that put you in the Powerball arena.

I could easily see life insurance companies even giving discounts for vaccinations. They give discounts to non-smokers as not smoking is single most and easiest way to mitigate an early death. Covid numbers are even worse... It won't take the actuaries long to to figure the numbers....
