Well, the maths do check out. About 160,000,000 people have been vaccinated in the United States. Of those people, around 14,000 have still managed to get sick enough with COVID-19 that it was considered a severe case. And of those 14,000, about 7,500 died. And of those 7,500, over half of them were aged 70+. So a death rate of 7,500 out of 160,000,000 means that a total of approximately...%0.005 of vaccinated people have died of COVID-19. And I rounded that up to the nearest thousandth for you, by the way.

@BlueMetalChick The vaccinated are still afraid.
When people start rationalizing and doing math to figure the chances of something, it means they are worried.
Kind of like when young lovers have a condom break and try to calculate their chances of pregnancy based on how long ago she menstruated and what time of day and what phase he moon was in etc...

@CestManan Applying maths to something does not mean that we are worried about it. It means we are trying to understand it. Everything in the physical world can be explained using some type of mathematics. If you wish to understand something, apply numbers to it. We want to understand COVID-19 and the vaccine we've created to inoculate against it and so we are using maths to gain knowledge about it.
