Average weekly COVID-19 deaths per 100K people, by age group, July 11th to September 4, 2021

Such an important chart to share.
Basically, if you’re under 65 and are vaccinated, the chances of dying from COVID are so so minuscule (almost one in a million)
And if you’re 65 + over, getting vaccinated cuts the risk by at least 80%

This guy seemed legit, but I have asked him for the original source (CDC or FDA, etc.)

eta: Original source is CDC

1. Last year COVID seemed to be mostly confined to

nursing homes. In the last couple months I personally know several people that have got it. All the ones I know got the shots too. A neighbor's son is 51 he has been in the hospital for a month, last I heard on a ventilator. I just found out today another friend and her sister have it, both in their seventies, healthy and got the shots. Starting to think the shots aren't as effective as we are told.

2. well, they told us that there would be breakthrough infections.....

They told us the vaccines were not 100% effective. But pointing to one or two examples doesn't disprove the statistics or disprove what "they" told us.

Being vax'd greatly reduces your chances of getting sick, and greatly reduces your chances of dying if you do get sick.

The statistics are valid. Anecdotal observations are not.

3. Even if a person

gets the vaccine, I still believe you need to wear masks in certain situations and be careful in general. Also think if a person is eligible, a booster is helpful, but like we were told all along these vaccines don’t prevent disease 100% of the time just like the flu vaccine. Also Covid wasn’t mostly confined to nursing homes last year. Just look at New York City last year. That wasn’t just nursing home residents getting it and dying. Same in my own state.
