You missed the earlier post I made. The Pfizer vaccine is 66% effective in preventing cases(against strains it was tested against). So you can cut your 5,000,000 figure to 3,300,000. If we are just going to analyze overall math.Even if that doctor from FL's death is directly attributable to the COVID vaccine...
Odds of death from vaccine would be what, 1 in 5,000,000?
Compare that to the odds of dying from COVID. Based on the 9 Jan CDC update CFR is 1.68%; consider the CDC's estimate of 8 actual infections to every confirmed positive and you'd get an IFR of 0.21%.
Across all demographics, that'd make odds of death from COVID 1 in 476.
Of course, not all demographics are equal with regards to COVID outcomes. Looking at reported CDC demographics for cases and deaths, and considering the CDC's estimate of actual vs confirmed positive cases, the odds of death from COVID for the 0-49 age demographic is 1 in 6859.
The math seems to make that a fairly straightforward value proposition.
You can look up the CFR and find anything you want. I remember when the CDC published the .04 cfr and every news media source on earth published it. It seems to change more with political winds than it does actual science. I also could not find the report you are referencing for a CFR either,do you have a link?
And yes I still remember https://statmodeling.stat.columbia....-surgisphere-harvard-data-have-been-analyzed/
and pointed out it was bad data weeks before the Lancet and NEJM retracted the study here on INGO.,
