[Quoting myself from another site:]
"There's an 'if' in the Covid-19 virus vaccination squabble.
"The available data is relatively straight-forward. In simple terms, for the US population at large there's a significantly larger risk of death from contracting the Covid-19 virus if you have not been vaccinated with one of the available vaccines.
"Those who are urging people to forego vaccination, if they actually convince a significant number of people to follow their advice, are increasing the total number of deaths from the virus."
"I did a little number-crunching to try and get a handle on the words 'significant number of people'. As of this writing [10/15/2021] there have been both a reported number of deaths in the US assigned to the Covid-19 virus and also a figure for the total US population. The deaths work out to roughly 1 in 500. So, there's roughly a 50/50 chance that someone has added to the total of US covid-19 deaths if he/she has convinced 250 people not to get vaccinated."
Regards, stay safe 'n well.
