As has been pointed out the death rate among those vaccinated is much lower than that of the unvaccinated. The rate of hospitalization is much lower as well. Somewhere around 98% if all deaths attributed to this virus have been among unvaccinated people. 99% of hospitalizations have been among the unvaccinated.
I was one of the rare cases that was hospitalized after having both shots. I was also one of the very rare cases that had such severe symptoms including hypoxia that survived.
Glad to hear you did survive, sorry you had such a bad case.

And yes, 20 times more death rate for people unvaccinated compared to people with booster shots. I would say that is significant.

And one last, over 4 billion people world wide have been vaccinated. So, either that is a big enough test group of guinea pigs or we have some serious **** going on.

Sadly, for many, if the vaccine is not 100% effective in preventing the virus then it is useless. Meanwhile, the common good is not ever mentioned any more...
