Re:Younger Americans benefit less from booster shots than ol... by xboxnolifes on Saturday February 05, 2022 @06:51PM (#30227635)
Depends how you look at it: relatives or absolutes. If the infection risk of an 18 year old is 10%, half is 5%. If the infection risk of a 70 year old is 40%, half is 20%. In absolute terms, the younger age group benefits less. This, however, is obvious based on all information we've known since almost the start of the pandemic, and is not useful at all.

Even if younger people stopped getting infected with these numbers, they could never have similar benefit compared to the older cohort.

These titles are designed to get clicks, but they are very "dangerous", for a lack of a better word, because of how often the title will be shared without reading and understanding.
