Thank you for this, Velvet. I looked into it further and you appear to be right. So I edited my heavily tongue-in-cheek post to reflect this fact. Too bad the posts that quote my original post will show the unedited version. But let the record show that it appears that 100% of the vaccinated are protected from serious illness or death. The 5% will only have mild symptoms and that's only IF they get infected.

I think it's time for a reality check.

Now just imagine where we might be today, if the current anti-Covid vaccination hysteria existed +-70 years ago.

1. Of all the people who DO get COVID, how many actually display symptoms?
2. Of all the people who get COVID and display symptoms, how many of them display serious symptoms requiring hospitalization and/or a morgue?

Now - Of all people who get COVID, display symptoms, and need hospitalization and/or a morgue, how many of them were vaccinated?

My guess is that of that 5% of all vaccinated people who get COVID anyway, less than 1% will have serious symptoms requiring hospitalization and/or a morgue.

Now - of ALL people who have gotten a vaccine, how many people, the actual quantity, is represented by the 1% of the 5%?

NOW - figure out if that 1% of the 5% is statistically significant. I'm guessing it won't be.

You sure do guess a lot.

I was agreeing with you. The paranoia is obsessive.

Research first. Type second. I wish people would do that.

We have had our two doses and will be careful but will go out a lot more and enjoy this place.

I'm truly happy for everyone feeling the relief and freedom that comes with being inoculated. Lift a glass and kick some &%%!!!

So probably nobody should leave their home even to cross the street in the off chance they will get run over, or attacked by a rabid squirrel.

Are you being serious? Do you not HAVE TO WORK! If it was. Pandemic we would all be sick. You need more than a vaccine! You need to get out of your house and get some sense back into you. You need oxygen and sun. I feel sorry for you.

Squirrels do not carry rabies
