The other members of the household are already vaccinated for COVID-19 if they want to be. The vaccines are still highly effective at preventing deaths.

RSV isn't really safe for adults either. But we accept the risk.

So effective, you go from 98.999% recoverable to 99.998% recoverable. Amazing. So glad we shut down everything and destroyed countless lives for less than 1% of gain.

Your numbers are . . . oddly chosen. Nevertheless, consider the following:

Calculate (1-(98.99/100)7.753 billion to get 78 million deaths Calculate (1-(99.998/100)7.753 billion to get 155,060 deaths.

That seems like really good progress.
