And most people who die in car crashes were wearing seatbelts.

BTW, covid triggered my immune system to develop psoriasis for the first time in my life [it's an autoimmune response], and the booster last year triggered it again and I had the itchies in my legs for several months, so I chose not to get the last vaccine.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Well, it would be one thing if she had died from something else but she didn't. She died from COVID, after trying so hard not to catch it. Her last "vaccine" against COVID was two months beforehand. I thought that was so sad.
Note that the Covid 19 vaccines used existing technology.

And I think that's fine. You do you and I'll do me and I bet we're both fine.

I doubt you're protected in any way, shape, or form now. But oh well. Who knows?
But keep your eyes peeled for emerging Covid 19 variants.
If something particularly dangerous to people similar to
you arises, you can always change plans.

I do know that there is a risk of myocarditis from having COVID, so I don't think that would go very well for me.
Why do you think vaccination
doesn't protect him?
Kathryn
It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I will for sure. I don't intend to just go willy nilly anywhere.
I know guys who fear the risks of vaccination.
But they never speak of the risks of Covid 19.

It didn't do anything to protect some people. and other people didn't even have the vaccine and were fine even though they got COVID. So who knows?
Avoid humans as much as possible.
Scotsmen too.

Hey, I love a man with good legs in a kilt.
You don't know that.
It's impossible to say that an individual's suffering
with Covid 19 wouldn't have been been more
severe without vaccination.
Vaccine efficacy is a statistical thing.

Only your epidemiologist knows for sure (statistically).
Drunk driving analogy.....
I've known sober people who died in car accidents.
I know drunks who didn't die in car accidents.
Does this mean that driving drunk doesn't increase
the risk of deadly accidents?
Don't make me give you the smoking analogy.
I once had good legs.
Now I'm just happy that my knees are still obedient.
Kathryn

Same here, same here.
On an aside note, my knee was hurting and so was my hip (different times) but they are both fine now so I guess it was weather related, who knows.

OK please don't.You don't know that.

You cannot say that. It did not give them enough protection to keep them from getting it, and in at least one case someone still died from it.
That is not how you judge if a vaccination is working or not. When it comes to cause of death for one person it is impossible to nail down the cause. But with statistics involved we can be very sure. If the death rate of a population all of a sudden soars along with the appearance of a virus we can be very certain that the virus was the cause. Especially when quite a few of the dead test positive for it. When that same death rates drops by more than a factor of five after t people are immunized we can be very sure that the vaccination is working. Are some people still dying from covid even after they got the vaccination? Yep. But far fewer in the targeted age groups. Vaccinations are never perfect. The MMR vaccine, which takes two doses is 96% effective against Measles. It is 86% effective against Mumps, and it is 89% effective again Rubella.

In an outbreak 4% of the kids that were vaccinated will still get the disease. But it will probably be a more mild does than without the vaccination.
You are right at the end where you say the vaccine efficacy is a statistical thing. But even when it does not prevent getting the disease the odds are that it will make it more tolerable.
Are you aware that this was not the first Covid epidemic in the US? I posted an article earlier about the other one. It affected swine. And rather strongly. Death was usually of piglets. They would get the symptoms of that verse was diarrhea. Quite often deadly diarrhea. The poor little piggies would poop themselves to death. We were rather lucky that the version that hit us mainly affected the elderly. Think how parents would have reacted if it was the other way around. Young children dying from a disease that they were helpless to control. Even at a mere 70% efficiency you would probably be demanding it for you and yours.
Even the highly effective polio vaccine isn't 100%
effective at preventing the disease. And polio
appears to be returning because many people
are now opposing vaccination.
Only 1% of those infected become paralyzed.
For 25% it's just like a case of the flu. And most
have no symptoms, so they might conclude that
polio is nothing to worry about. But they don't
remember back as far as I do, when tens of
thousands became unable to walk or even
breathe on their own

The Basics of Polio and Why It's Making a Comeback - Mayo Clinic News Network
When a healthy 20-year-old in Rockland County, New York, presented in an emergency room earlier this year with sudden leg paralysis, the diagnosis of polio took the medical world by surprise. After all, the U.S. was declared free from polio in 1979. But over the last several months, poliovirus...
