      Why aren’t all the people who didn’t get the shots dead yet?

        A fair percentage of them are? Certainly higher percentage than people that are vaccinated.

        There are several other factors at work here, and I get that you are responding to a mock question with a mock answer.

          No, not a fair percentage. Extremely few have died

            Tell that to countries like Peru and Mexico who had little vaccination and a mortality rate of nearly 5%. Compared to the countries who had the highest vaccination rate with mortality of less than .05%

            So… over 100 times more?

            USA and CA had 1.1% so 5 times more… (erm that makes no sense, but you get what i mean. I need coffee)

            EDIT: my main source https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

              Those numbers aren’t accurate. They didn’t have the same insane drive to try to find and record every case, so the death percentage is artificially inflated

                Excess death statistics don’t lie, it’s extremely difficult to hide trends in total deaths.

        You are right, not ALL the people that did not get vaccinated died. Just way more of them as a percentage than those that did. So, you win?
