You made yourself look like a dumbass by not understanding. Let me translate so you can understand. They "couldn't afford" to get covid. My grandmother had stage 4 cancer in her mid 80s. On paper that's the kind of person that we were supposed to be protecting. Because she stood no chance against the virus. She got covid. Had mild symptoms. Recovered. Which is a good example of how badly we overreacted to covid

Spit the hook out Randy!

Based on official reported COVID-19 deaths, we estimated that vaccinations prevented 14·4 million (95% credible interval [Crl] 13·7–15·9) deaths from COVID-19 in 185 countries and territories between Dec 8, 2020, and Dec 8, 2021. This estimate rose to 19·8 million (95% Crl 19·1–20·4) deaths from COVID-19 averted when we used excess deaths as an estimate of the true extent of the pandemic, representing a global reduction of 63% in total deaths (19·8 million of 31·4 million) during the first year of COVID-19 vaccination.

COVID-19 vaccination was estimated to prevent approximately 27 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 22 million to 34 million) infections, 1.6 million (95% UI, 1.4 million to 1.8 million) hospitalizations, and 235 000 (95% UI, 175 000–305 000) deaths in the US from December 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, among vaccinated adults 18 years or older. From September 1 to September 30, 2021, vaccination was estimated to prevent 52% (95% UI, 45%–62%) of expected infections, 56% (95% UI, 52%-62%) of expected hospitalizations, and 58% (95% UI, 53%-63%) of expected deaths in adults 18 years or older.

It has been estimated that the median hospital cost in the U.S. for a patient with COVID-19 is $12,000 (J Med Econ 2021;24:308-17). The economic savings from fewer hospitalizations is roughly $13.6 billion. Long COVID affects one- to two-thirds of hospitalized patients (JAMA Netw Open 2021;4:e2128568). Vaccination averted at least 100,000 cases of long COVID, sparing individuals, and the health care system, the burdens of sustained neurologic impairment, respiratory disorders, psychiatric illness, and impaired mobility and function
