Just because you carry doesn’t mean you won’t die in a shootout. What are the chances of an law abiding citizen being gunned down vs. that same citizen dying of Covid? Which is the greater risk?
Also, those 40 year olds who have had it, survived but had some serious issues, what damage has been done to your organs that will haunt you down the road? Will you die of COPD… Kidney failure, liver failure in your 60s?
But forget all that, a free vaccine vs paying your deductible and out of pocket maximum for a hospitalization, just from a financial standpoint it makes sense to get the vaccine if it keeps you out of the hospital.
The US murder rate is 6.5 per 100,000, and is almost exclusively on people under 50...probably under 30.....so your odds of being gunned down as a middle aged male is much, much, much greater than dying of covid.
Nice try but the annualized death rate per 100,000 is around 270. Just a little more than 6.5. If you want to parse that out by age you need to also parse out homicides by type.....If you take out gang bangers and family related homicides, that 6.5 is much lower to get to a real risk comparison.

You have the greatest generation that sacrificed to save the world vs the me generation that killed grandma.
I thought the death rate was more along the lines of 750 to 830 off the top of my head.
The covid death rate doesn't take into account the fact that most of those deaths would've happened regardless of covid. There's only a slight increase in the total overall death rate from covid....because guess what?
Old people living in nursing homes were sent there to fukcing die. It's the end of the road. No one moves out of a nursing home and into a nice little bungalow to start planting flowers.....those people were going to be pushing up flowers regardless of covid.
Over half the deaths in MN happened in nursing homes. It's funny since pre-covid....no one gave a fukc about these people. Why should I give a fukc about an old person when their own family didn't give a fukc about them? They were the ones who sent them there to die at the least inconvenience to themselves....not me.
Look at the stats I just listed.....95 people were murdered in Minneapolis in 2021....look at how many covid deaths from the youngest going up you have to get to in order to hit that over two years.
Covid is a joke. It's a real thing but it's a 5 on a scale of a 100 in terms of being an actual threat to humanity and we keep treating it like it's a 95. People are over it....no one gives a fukc about it anymore. Read the room. Everyone wants life to go back to normal and guess what? All you have to do for that to happen is just treat covid like what it is....an illness, just like the flu.
