Your infantile grasp of statistics is well charted, son.

If you say a man and a baby gloving upfor a boxing match, you would be unable to defend with statistics the notion that the odds of who will win are not 50/50.

In August 2021, a number of American conservative talk radio hosts who had discouraged COVID-19 vaccination, or expressed skepticism toward the COVID-19 vaccine, died from COVID-19 complications.[6][7] These included 65-year-old Marc Bernier, self-nicknamed "Mr. Antivax", from Daytona, Florida;[16] 65-year-old Dick Farrel, who referred to the pandemic as a "SCAM DEMIC";[16] Jimmy DeYoung Sr, an octogenarian Christian radio host who decried the vaccine as a form of government control;[17] and 61-year-old Phil Valentine, who compared vaccination status badges worn by medical workers with the yellow badges which German Jews were ordered to wear by the Nazis.[18][19] In September 2021, another anti-vaccine conservative radio host, 62-year-old Bob Enyart, who "vocally refused to get vaccinated and actively spread false claims about the COVID-19 virus", died of COVID-19, prompting a new round of reports discussing the phenomenon within that demographic.[8][20] The phenomenon was repeated in November 2021, when Marcus Lamb, co-founder of the Daystar Television Network who promoted skepticism toward all vaccines, died of COVID-19.[21][22][23] 

Olavo de Carvalho, a Brazilian COVID-19 vaccine critic, journalist, and conspiracy theorist, was reported by his daughter to have died of COVID-19 after testing positive.[24] 

When Hai Shaulian, a prominent Israeli opponent of vaccination, died from COVID-19 in September 2021, his supporters "claimed that he was murdered by government authorities... so that he would not disclose the truth about what they claim is a fictitious pandemic and a dangerous vaccine", a response characterized by Israeli newspaper Haaretz as a cult-like refusal to acknowledge reality.[25]
