Let's see...
smallpox - 30% chance of dying
polio - 10% chance of dying
covid - .49% chance of dying

Nah...these are not apples to apples to apples comparison.
But you go ahead and keep believing that scare tactic from last year.

There's also posters gleeful that "Republicans" are dying from covid.

They've got a collective mindset and the propaganda has worked 100% on them as they question nothing the talking heads (MSM/government) say.
It's absolutely disgusting how these waste of American's think. Looking back at history, I've often wondered how populations can be turned on each other...now I understand.

It may very well be that many are clerical workers, security, receptionists, janitors, accountants etc. etc.
You can’t run healthcare agencies without all of the people you mention in your post.

Well then don't be surprised if/when you catch COVID from those vaccinated employees that are treating you but never get tested. You have a false sense of security that Mayo is protecting you.

So many? Look at the low percentage. We also have sub intellects in our society. So many, yet the percentage is manageable. For now, and getting numerically better with every unvaxed infection. Lets go Darwin!

You completely missed the point.

If people had "natural immunity," they would never die of any virus ever. That many people do, in fact, die from viruses tells you that the anti-vaxxer concept of "natural immunity" is a bunch of ignorant hooey.

I'll take my chances with Mayo and the advice and actions of their professionals over some internet rando, but thanks anyway...

A group of cardiologists left my hospital for another one, and the new cardiologists coming in aren't named Dr. Goldman or Dr. Feinberg. Get my drift? Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.

No vaccine is nearly as effective on these variants at preventing infection. They are however reducing the incidences of serious Covid.

The flu shot is reformulated each ear based upon dominate viruses in the Southern Hemisphere. Last year’s flu shot is not effective against this year’s strains The flu shot does not ensure immunity. It does however reduce symptoms and complications.

Nothing is stopping them from flipping a switch and uploading the new genetic information to create a taylor fit variant vaccine like they said they could. Except, maybe, their inability to do so.
