@eladar saidAnd your point is ..........
I sure did.
I learned that 80 percent of all covid deaths in the U.S. are people of retirement age. More than half of all covid deaths are people over 70.
I also learned that the total number of deaths from COVID of all people younger than 40 is less than 10k.

@zahlanzi saidWhat are my qualifications? To look at tables to see how many deaths there are in each age bracket?
what is your qualification. You said you are some kind of middle school teacher (a bad one and proud of it). Is that it?
A brain?
BTW, I teach ap stats and ap calculus

Looking at tables doesn't qualify you to emit opinions on how safe the vaccine is or how deadly the virus is or how dangerous or whether you should wear a mask or any of the opinions you've farted on this forum after "thinking for yourself"
"BTW, I teach ap stats and ap calculus"
I see there isn't an epidemiology degree listed here. Or a medical license.
So how about you let actual experts take the lead on this subject and you can look at some tables and pretend you totally understand them?
Ooh i just thought of something, you can stand outside a hospital and show your tables to a doctor or nurse coming off a 12 hour shift . You can really make a difference. Tell them covid is not that bad because you looked at some tables

@zahlanzi saidThe tables are to judge how dangerous the virus is for a person my age. I judge the threat to be very small and there is no need to vaccinate against it.

I can tell my students that death from COVID is very very rare for a person their age. Do you know how many 17 year olds have died from COVID in the US?

The experts that totally ignore the devastating costs of lockdown or those that only use " tangible " stats.
I am 65yrs old with breathing issues, am not anti vaccine, I have had my 1st jab, and I just won't them to let me damn well die rather than see so many old people dying alone and of loneliness. in the last few days I came across a gentleman in his 80's, his wife died last year, stuck alone in lockdown in Vic, Australia. He has just been diagnosed with cancer and is so depressed by the lockdowns.
I work in an op shop and someone inadvertently rang the shop wanting someone to come and talk as she was on the edge. I know social workers that want to join the anti-lockdown rallies, and the list goes on.
Me, a retired gentlemen , see so much lockdown pain, yet I know of no-one that has nor knows anyone with this virus, no-one.
People need to get over the fear of dying, it is a sad fact of life and learn that the quality of life has value.
The trillions of dollars that our grandkids will have to pay back to try and save my live is so stupid that it is unbelievable. We have been conned in such a big way.

@eladar saidFacts are not knowledge. This is so elementary, I begin to wonder whether you were home schooled.
Facts are not knowledge? I guess that point of view explains many people around here.
It is a fact that the Earth orbits the sun; whether anyone knows this (and for hundreds of thousands of years people did not know this) is an entirely different matter.

@Eladar
But you are a TERRIBLE mathematician. You have ZERO understanding of how viruses mutate and the FACT that now literally BILLIONS of people around the world have it now and that means variants will spring up EVERYWHERE ON EARTH and the virus will compete with each other for deadliness.
But you will just hang on to your old tales, C19 is just another flu.
You really need to get a REAL job and stop pretending you know math.

you're not intelligent enough to judge when the information you have is incomplete.
"I judge the threat to be very small and there is no need to vaccinate against it."
You are wrong
"I can tell my students that death from COVID is very very rare for a person their age."
Compared to what
What about infecting others.
What about being hospitalized and taking up resources.
What about getting sick while having bad insurance because it's a third world country there?
"Do you know how many 17 year olds have died from COVID in the US?"
Do you know there are more outcomes to getting infected with covid than just death?
Hopefully your students have realized by now you're an imbecile who should be ignored and just nod to so you don't use the fleeting authority you have over them and fail them.
