The lethality rate of covid-19 is 0.02 %, not 20 %.
You are off by a factor of 1000 too high.
While I agree only about 5000 have died from the vaccine and that is far fewer than the virus, we don't know the final tally.
Decades later, the vaccine could eventually cause 100% fatality if conditions for allergic reactions happen in the future.
Not only is covid-19 not very lethal, but we could easily have ended it last March if we went with herd immunity using young volunteers.
Risky artificial vaccines that are not even FDA approved, is not a very rational solution.
No, he said, he'd only take a vaccine if the fatality rate for a highly infectious virus was at least 20% and not before.
You're right we don't know the final tally. What we do know is that it's highly unlikely to be the one reported in VAERS, which is over 6k. Remember even during the trials, 6 ppl died and 4 of them had taken a placebo. Even the two who died and had taken the vaccine can't be linked directly to it.
Also how many times must we go through this? There's no such thing as herd immunity for 330 million ppl without a vaccine. Herd immunity your way requires that massive amounts of ppl get the virus in a very short period of time. How exactly would you do this? Explain how you would gather that many ppl together, with them knowing what they know about this virus. Round them up? Drag them out of their houses and apartments? Great idea. Imagine a really bad flu season multiplied by ten thousand. The worse one we've had was 60k. You do the math.
