The statistics used to be that for every one or two people that were vaccinated that died from Covid 98 or 99 unvaccinated would pass away:
Staggering COVID-19 Statistic: 98% to 99% of Americans Dying are Unvaccinated - AU/UGA Medical Partnership
Well now it is not quite the same. Being unvaccinated is only 32 times more deadly than being vaccinated:
New data dashboard tracks COVID-19 risk for unvaccinated people compared to vaccinated people – PUBLIC HEALTH INSIDER
Okay, let's take the tongue out of cheek and get serious. The unvaccinated are still 7 times more likely to test positive. Which means that they are 7 times more likely to pass the disease on (actually probably higher for various reasons that I can get into). This is the statistic that bothers me the most. It tells us that the current surge is due to the unvaccinated.
Forty nine times more likely to get hospitalized. Hopefully your insurance is paid up.
And still 32 times more likely to die.
I do not wish death on anyone. And since these deaths are so easily preventable for the most part these statistics still drive me a bit mad. Why trust those that simply say what you want to hear but cannot support their claims with reliable evidence? Are vaccinations so scary to the science deniers that they would rather put themselves, and as a result all of their loved ones, at risk/
