Now some basic math:For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to:
-Take precautions in public like wearing a well-fitted mask and physical distancing
-Wear masks, practice physical distancing, and adhere to other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people who are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease or who have an unvaccinated household member who is at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease
-Wear masks, maintain physical distance, and practice other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people from multiple households
-Avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings
-The vaccine claims to be 95% effective. That means a vaccinated person is 95% less likely to get Covid, and hence 95% less likely to die from it.
-In 2018-2019, 34,000 Americans died from the flu https://www.statista.com/statistics/112 ... age-group/
-In the first year of the Coronavirus pandemic, roughly 590,000 Americans died.
-590,000 divided by 34,000 equals Covid being 17.3x deadlier than the flu
-95% effectiveness equals being 20x safer than not being vaccinated (against Covid).
My conclusion? A Covid-vaccinated person is a little LESS likely to die from Covid (comparing the 17.3x to 20x numbers) than is a random person to die from the flu. The CDC doesn't recommend wearing masks to prevent the flu. So why the recommendation for Covid-vaccinated people to protect against Covid? And don't tell me that it is to protect unvaccinated people because a random unvaccinated person is equally 20x less likely to get Covid FROM YOU than from an unvaccinated person.
