(2,436 posts)Mostly taken from CDC, but as of 8/30/21:
330 Million people in the US. 41 million COVID cases = 1/8 chance of catching covid in the US.

41 million COVID cases. ~ 670,000 deaths = 1/61 people have died from COVID

173 million fully vaccinated in the US. 12908 breakthrough cases as of Aug 30 = 1/13402 chance of getting COVID if you are fully vaccinated.

2432 Deaths from COVID for people who are fully vaccinated, rounded to 2000 because not all of these deaths were related to COVID = 1/86500 chance of dying from COVID if you are fully vaccinated. The Newsweek source references CDC data, but I have not found that yet on their site.

What I did find on CDC was 7400 deaths and they qualify as above: FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if its unclear whether the vaccine was the cause
So, if 7400 Deaths from COVID for people who are fully vaccinated = 1/23378 chance of dying from COVID if you are fully vaccinated.
