You completely ignore the latest data.
I don't NEED the latest data to prove vaccine benefits!! The vaccines saved over ONE MILLION lives in the US in 2021 alone. I don't need the "latest data," because
the vaccines have ALREADY saved over ONE MILLION lives.Here's the math. I know it's way too complex for you, but I'm laying it out here for the benefit of other readers.
The data (see my answer here to Johnconnor) says 80% of US Covid deaths came from the 25% unvaxxed. Unvaxxed population = 83 million; vaxxed = 249 million. CDC estimate for US Covid deaths in 2021 is 460,000, so 368,000 deaths among the unvaxxed and 92,000 among the vaxxed - your basic pandemic of the unvaccinated.
That works out to a 0.44% death rate among unvaxxed, and a 0.037% death rate among the vaccinated. Please, get out your calculator and check my work!
If the death rate among vaxxed were equal to the death rate among the unvaxxed, that would have resulted in 1.1 million deaths instead of 92 thousand in 2021. Thus the vaccines have ALREADY saved OVER ONE MILLION lives in 2021 alone. That's a YUGE vaccine benefit!!!
And that's just deaths. In 2021, the vaccinated also benefit from a 5X lower infection rate, at least a 5X lower hospitalization rate, and a 5X lower 'long Covid' rate.
BTW, I'd love to see your "latest data" so please post a link to it! Yeah, I know you're allergic data and don't really have any, none the less I extend the invitation.
BTW, the latest data naturally incorporates all the benefits of partial immunity conferred by the vaccine. Still, I'd love to see it.
