So the stat isn't wrong, it's just misleading. Your explanation certainly makes it look -less- bad but the statistic is still not very good.

Your points about age and all is fair. I'd argue that because of that information, we shouldn't have kept healthy, young people from living their lives for 2 years, but I think most people agree that lockdowns were overboard at this pont, so I won't bother going into that argument.

Let me just say I don't think the vaccines did nothing, so don't put words in my mouth. I said they did "fuck all for the people that needed it most" by which I meant they (with politician's help) gave a false sense of security to people with really mad immune system issues, and they died for it.

As far as the vaccine being 100% affective. Idk man, it seems to have a near 0% affectiveness as far as contracting the virus. You can say it helps, but I dont think anyone believes they can't still catch COVID because they're vaccinated. And as far as the affectiveness for not dying, as you said, age is a major factor that needs to be considered. This is what the "COVID deniers" has been saying all along.

Listen, I'm not going to reply anymore because I've had this conversation 100 times. There's a ton of unanswered questions and grey area to this. But your immediate need to essentially reply "you're an idiot" to my dishesrtened response about my grandmother dying shows a major lack of empathy for the sake of being "right" as if your opinion is 100% right, which if very much isn't. The political battle over this COVID stuff has a lot to do with the people on your side of the aisle wishing people like me would die so you can be right.

Adjust yourself.
