Covid is a disease of the old and sick. Full stop. This is not even questionable. The characteristics of the disease and the vaccine do not warrant the whole population to take the vaccine. This also exposes why all the lockdown measures were not effective and how they ended up making things worse. Any honest person would agree.
Report from the hyper-super-credible CDC:
Characteristics of Persons Who Died with COVID-19 — United States, February 12–May 18, 2020
[not the most up to date, it shows risk without vaccine]
Demographic and clinical data about COVID-19 cases are reported to CDC from 50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, and U.S. territories using a standardized case-report form (case-based surveillance) or in aggregate. Data on 52,166 deaths from 47 jurisdictions among persons with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were reported individually to CDC via case-based surveillance during February 12–May 18, 2020. ...[useless race crap] 79.6% were aged ≥65 years, ...[more useless race crap]... Median decedent age was 78 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 67–87 years). [this is literally the average life expectancy lol] Because information about underlying medical conditions was missing for the majority of these decedents (30,725; 58.9%), data regarding medical conditions were not analyzed further using the case-based surveillance data set. Because most decedents reported to the supplementary data program were also reported to case-based surveillance, no statistical comparisons of the decedent characteristics between the data sets were made.
...
At least one underlying medical condition was reported for 8,134 (76.4%) of decedents for whom supplementary data were collected, including 83.1% of decedents aged <65 years. Overall, the most common underlying medical conditions were cardiovascular disease (60.9%), diabetes mellitus (39.5%), chronic kidney disease (20.8%), and chronic lung disease (19.2%) (Table 2). Among decedents aged <65 years, 83.1% had one or more underlying medical conditions. Among decedents aged ≥85 years, 69.5% had one or more underlying medical conditions. Diabetes was more common among decedents aged <65 years (49.6%) than among those aged ≥85 years (25.9%).
If this were acknowledged by the media and the rest of the people in charge, then more sensible polices could have been implemented that respected the freedoms of extremely low risk people while doing actual things that would work for the vulnerable groups. It realistically only makes sense for the old and sick to take the vaccine.
Too bad the people supporting the current narrative are self-righteous narcissists - that way you know that no humble admissions of mistakes and better policy would have ever followed
Some more context ^
Since the beginning of all this only 2.5% of the deaths have been younger than 40 - this doesn't even break out by underlying conditions yet. The absolute risk for my age group (30-39) is stupidly low with just the known cases. Can guarantee that the actual number is way higher too.
