    Especially since there are people in places of the world that would kill for a vaccine

      Like Africa where the overall population wasn’t able to get it and yet had a significantly lower mortality rate than the rest of the world? 🤔

        70% of Africans are under 30. Age was one of the highest risk factors for COVID.🤔

          I wonder if that’s because there’s a high rate of overall mortality, i.e. they’re only living past 30 sometimes?

            It’s because of a drop in child mortality which hasn’t yet been matched by a drop in the fertility rate:

              To layman’s terms, people used to make 5 children and 3 of them would die. Then this mortality has dropped. People still make 5 children. The country has too much children. The country is really young and very few per capita are susceptible to covid.

              The opposite happens in Western countries. Old people don’t die. People don’t make children anymore. Population is really old, covid really affects a lot of people per capita.

            Give it a rest. You have already made it clear at this point that you are impervious to evidence. Just go home mate.

              Maybe I need a few more “vaccines” that don’t prevent contraction or spread of a respiratory virus

                Oh shit, it’s almost like a lot of other vaccines, like the flu vaccine. You’ve uncovered a big government secret! The Immuminati will be by to give you a gold star tonight.

                But they do mitigate rates of hospitalization and death. Pretty good tradeoff for something that’s free and doesn’t affect me otherwise. Kinda value.

                Tell me, would you rather catch a virus that can harm/permanently harm/kill you with or without a vaccine that can prevent it from doing that?

                Or to put in another way, would you rather run in front of a firing squad with or withoir body armour?

                Would you rather be in the rain with or wothout a coat/umbrella?

                You moron.

            Thankfully we are vaccinating newborns now.

            The minimum age is six months.
