Lies, damned lies and Covid vaccines statistics - Daily Kos
excerpt:
The news reported last week point out that since August more vaccinated people are dying of Covid than un-vaccinated. The anti-vaxxers are all over it.
The facts are that over 80% of people in the US have been vaccinated.
So let’s see. 80% have been vaccinated and Covid deaths among vaccinated people are 58%. 20% have not been vaccinated but they represent 42% of the new deaths.
58 percent of 80 = 0.725
42 percent of 20 = 2.1
So, given all the variables, including new variants, you are almost 3 times more likely to die of Covid if you have not been vaccinated.
But the GQP right wing anti-vaxxers that bring up these statistics have caused significant more death in their ranks for playing with “statistics.”
