    Like Africa where the overall population wasn’t able to get it and yet had a significantly lower mortality rate than the rest of the world? 🤔

      70% of Africans are under 30. Age was one of the highest risk factors for COVID.🤔

        I wonder if that’s because there’s a high rate of overall mortality, i.e. they’re only living past 30 sometimes?

          It’s because of a drop in child mortality which hasn’t yet been matched by a drop in the fertility rate:

          Give it a rest. You have already made it clear at this point that you are impervious to evidence. Just go home mate.

            Maybe I need a few more “vaccines” that don’t prevent contraction or spread of a respiratory virus

              Oh shit, it’s almost like a lot of other vaccines, like the flu vaccine. You’ve uncovered a big government secret! The Immuminati will be by to give you a gold star tonight.

              But they do mitigate rates of hospitalization and death. Pretty good tradeoff for something that’s free and doesn’t affect me otherwise. Kinda value.

          The minimum age is six months.
