vaccine versus not getting the vaccine, to face COVID-19. This is the first time I have been totally in agreement with one of your articles. I truly hope that many of your readers who have yet to get vaccinated get persuaded. I have had my first shot and my wife gets her first shot Sunday. We both have second shots scheduled. – Howard N. Ad: ‘ID Coin’ Could See Nationwide Rollout 2020 was a cybersecurity nightmare, but now the biggest employer in the United States is finally making plans to fight back with new "ID Coin" tech. A top analyst following the story believes this could spark a $6 trillion potential market... while handing early investors a small fortune. He explains everything here. Just a note to say: I am disappointed that AC published such a simplistic article on the C19 vaccine. There are many problems with this article, but the big one is that it pretends that taking the C19 vaccine is a simple choice, and the right choice for everyone. There is not a single pharmaceutical drug in existence that is “safe and effective” for everyone, and the C19 vaccine is no different. There are risks in taking it, just like there are risks in taking morphine, cannabis, and even Tylenol. In addition to this, the risks of the disease are not nearly as grave as your article states. The median risk of death from C19 might be around 2%, but for those of us under the age of 70, that risk is far, far lower. My children have a greater risk of death from lightning than from C19. Giving them this vaccine,
vaccine because they aremore concerned about profit than helping save lives. I am82 and willwait until a proper vaccine is developed!! Check your facts before youwrite about the benefits of the BS vaccine. – George F. Dave Lashmet Response: Ok, I checked my facts. These are from the CDC website, and from Johns Hopkins COVID tracker, so you can check them too. 1. First, here’s the bad news about COVID-19. Through the week of January 30, 2021, there were 1,375,000 U.S. hospitalizations for COVID-19. Of these 1.375 million Americans, 440,000 didn’t make it. 2. That’s the death toll at the end of January. That’s among 26 million positive cases by January 30. Simply put, this is a 5% hospitalization rate, and close to a 2% death rate. 3. Here’s the good news about the vaccine... Through February 8, 2021, 33 million Americans have received at least one dose of a RNA vaccine. 10 million people have gotten both doses. At least so far, there’s been one death. It’s a tragedy. But when you compare 440,000 deaths against one death, the odds are well, half a million to one in your favor if you get the vaccine. Now, we knew these MRNA vaccines had mild side effects, but we also know, they were 95% effective. Plus, for severe disease, they were 97.5% protective – and that’s for the 5% who were at risk after the vaccine. Those odds are 20 times in your favor and then 40 times in your favor (and these multiply, so it’s 800 times in your favor) if you get the
