The world wide infection fatality rate is nowhere near 1 in 50. The CDC estimated the US fatality rate at 0.6% back when hardly anyone was vaccinated, and Americans have worse survival rates than most other countries due to having a relatively old and unhealthy population.

The CDC did not estimate a 0.6% fatality.

I have no idea why you think they did, but that never happened.

Please stop spreading misinformation. The CDC absolutely did estimate a 0.6% infection fatality rate.
