Sad and unnecessary.
Why is this not on the bad news thread.
Statistically inevitable.
Federal Judge rules in favor of Norwegian Cruise Lines with respect to Florida vaccine passport ban --
As well as the 98.7% chance of not dying and not being vaccinated. Lets not lose the forest through the trees. I, personally am vaccinated, but this virus still has a very small mortality percentage.

It is actually a far better rate than that.
The at risk group is currently vaxxed at a very high rate. That was the group the consisted of over 80% of all deaths.
The other very at risk people with health issues have been vaxxed at a very high rate.
The rest of us? Vaxxed or not have really no risk of covid. Why we pretend otherwise is beyond me.
98.7% sounds impressive, but how often do you voluntarily take a 1.3% chance of dying? Or a 10% chance of hospitalization?
I agree we should keep it in perspective. These risks are higher than I usually take. If you like to street race motorcycles, then the risk probably sounds more reasonable to you.
Actually it’s about the same risk as riding a motorcycle regularly for transport or recreation (not street racing): if you crash there’s about a .5% chance if you dying….a 3-4% chance of you having a serious injury requiring medical intervention…a little more than a 10% chance of being hospitalized. The ifr for covid no vaxxed now stands at about .2-.4% and the cfr at just under 1%. For vaxxed even lower. And if you ride a motorcycle regularly for transport or recreation you will eventually crash. If the vaccine does not stop transmission everyone will get it. The vaccine is riding the motorcycle with a helmet, boots and leather jacket (the masks are riding the motorcycle with the fancy leather vest with a skull on it) If you are older it might also be time to rethink riding that motorcycle. The motorcycle is a good analogy…it’s actually slightly more risky but we allow people to do it.
Usually, when someone suffers a motorcycle wreck, it does not raise the probability of other members of the victim's neighborhood having a similar accident.
