I say that if scared people want to get the covid shot then go right ahead....knock yourself out....go and get as many shots as you wish, to your dear little heart content. And if your little bleeding heart is happy with your "decisions" then I will be happy for you!
But with a death rate that has always been less than 98% (bearing in mind that that death rate supposedly due to covid has been falling even more sharply than to deaths attributed to the common flu with the emergence of the rather "mild" Omnicron variant) and most of those affected are over 80 years + of age with 2 or more co-morbidities (explanation....these 80 years + oldies who are dying from covid, were dying from two or more diseases or disease processes already....so they were already very compromised). Personally, I will leave it up to my own immune system to deal with this covid....because it will have to deal with it some time or the other anyways if this continues. Here is my issue....when you suppress your own immune system with an artificial vaccine then that artificial vaccine will always try to fight any covid variant that comes along afterward. That may sound like a good thing but it is not in this case because when it does this then it blocks your own natural immunity from attacking that disease....never allowing your own immune system to create a natural defense against covid. And it is absolutely clear that the covid vaccines are not effectively dealing with new variants.....if they are actually doing anything at all.

You're making many excellent points. You may have meant a survival rate of about 98%, right? (which strictly speaking, is a death rate lower than 98%, but you get what I'm saying, I hope!) The death rate is around 1.64%. And that's only IF you catch it. Worldwide, 5.57 million deaths (probably waaaaay over-stated...) and 339 million cases (probably overstated also) is a 98.36% survival rate. Again, that's only IF you catch it.

The death rate is far lower when compared to overall population. 5.57 million deaths out of 7.9 billion people, comes out to what, about 0.07% death rate? (aka a 99.93% chance of living)

Obviously though, the overall numbers mean nothing if it's you or a loved one who catches it and dies. But those trying to blame covid for the death of anyone with two or more co-morbidities is just plain wrong, imo.

[image deleted] Nobody really knows what is true or not with covid....everybody is collecting data differently around the world. But it is hard to claim that anyone is "trying to blame covid for the death of anyone with two or more co-morbidities"....that is just what the data has been showing from day one from all around the world....!
And as for the death rate stats in the USA....well, that is just what the data is also showing (but I believe that we both know that those data are wrong because those in charge have dumped every conceivable death into that garbage bin....including if you had died from a car accident but your lab work had shown that you happen to have covid also. Or even the flu....for example, the average annual death from flu in the USA is about 40,000 per year. Last season the CDC showed under 6,000 deaths....a shameless IMPOSSIBILITY.
For data on covid I look abroad....the USA data is basically garbage!

I will randomly choose Israel because it is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world. This data is from December 2020 this is their data (I cannot find any current data by age in Israel but based on Israel's policy this January, 2022 to give the 4th covid booster shot to those over 60-years of age I will assume that this data still holds true)....
"An analysis of the Health Ministry data regarding coronavirus mortality in Israel shows that those who died of COVID-19 suffered mostly from high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular problems."...."The most common profile of those who died of COVID-19 was a combination of age and a chronic condition common to people aged 65 or older. The average age of those who died was 79, while the median age was 81." The age group with the most deaths was 80-89, with 1,022 deaths since the pandemic began in Israel – more than a third of all deaths. That group was followed by those 70-79, with 759 deaths, and then those over 90, with 613 people dying after being infected with the coronavirus."
