it's a crippling failure to grasp how statistics can differ depending on location, with respect to variables like population density, average level of education, and accessibility to half-decent healthcare. hartford, connecticut probably looks very different from cherokee, north carolina, for example.
While that's the only context where it makes sense (at least one Israeli study suggests natural immunity is at least as good as getting the vaccine), it does make sense in that context. After all, an infection is the actual event a vaccine is seeking to imitate.
If you took a .3% chance of dying every day, odds would be 2:1 against you surviving a single year. People don't fucking understand probability for a shit.
It's honestly quite malicious since there is a decent chance of getting Long Covid side-effects from catching the virus that are not anywhere near as rare as vaccine longterm side-effects.
Who would've thought that they people who preach about "personal responsibility" don't want to be held responsible for the consequences of their own stupidity?
It's not wrong, if you have the right mix of ages in your population, first world medical care, etc. I've seen published IFRs in the 0.2-0.3% range. But this sort of binary thinking, where the only choices are survival or death, doesn't reflect the suffering and debilitation of the survivors, or the cost to society of having so many people sick at the same time.
Most people don't get COVID every day though. Usually you get it once. I have seen some anti-vaxers saying they've had it twice ... it's a point of pride, they think it means they have 2x natural immunity. They skip the step where their immune system was so crap it let them get COVID a second time.

Even if that were literally the only thing that happened, it would be worth a jab or two or three to avoid, just like the normal flu is worth a yearly jab if you aren't a complete pussy.
They LOVE using that 99% statistic and running with it.
>"The vaccines are unsafe because we have no long-term data to prove that they're safe!"
These idiots base their worldviews around one statistic not understanding how statistics or science works
This just makes me sad.
I'll get the flu jab once they find a replacement for Squalene. Don't like the idea of damaging the ocean ego-system for it.
