BNT162b2 Vaccine Booster and Mortality Due to Covid-19

I want to know what percentage of those who died also suffered form comorbidities. Also this is for people aged 50 and above, what about healthy young people?

Do the math, death rate is 0.008% (boosted) vs 0.16% (unboosted) for aged 50 and above. Still super low. And we're getting better and better at treating this thing.

Get it if you *want* it. Don't if you don't. I do not want it or need it thank you very much.

Agree that we’re getting better at treating it. You seem to be praising those treatments and not wanting to get the vaccine. I don’t understand the idea that medicine that prevents the disease is bad but medicine after the disease is ok?

I think people like it because it scales with the actual disease. It may be irrational as far as resource allocation but it is maybe a bit more transparent.
