Vaccines-Guys I linked this stuff-No you certainly did not.

Really?
ME-What is your obsession with just throwing around numbers?
It came from an article on the efficacy of vaccines and what biologic scientists hope to achieve initially.
MG "Guys I linked this stuff. I'm not going to keep going & finding it or taking time to relink it. It's in the essay and scientific links & docs."
There was no link whatsoever to the potential efficacy of a covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine does not exist, so any discussion of the efficacy would be pure speculation. Your claim to have knowledge about the vaccine efficacy, if believed by a reader, might lend weight to your other posts. You do talk about an article, and that the biologists goal is to achieve an efficacy of at least 50%, but the goal does not mean that is the outcome,(and you acknowledge that in about 20 words, after writing several hundred words about the efficacy of the vaccine.)
Maybe you have posted an excessive amount of words, and that is causing confusion.
Goal of this essay as stated by Math Guy
"This will be an essay on SARS-COV-2 and the resulting COVID-19 sickness. It will be one of the most comprehensive and lengthy pieces of data available on this site regarding COVID-19. I am doing this here, just as I do in other places, online forums, news outlets, etc... b/c I believe it's imperative that people begin to understand the truly phenomenal nature of the perfect storm of events that lead us to this point, which has become rather absurd in totality."
In your best case scenario, the death rate is .25%, or 2.5/1000, x 320million US citizens=750-800,000 US deaths if everyone is infected. I am going to go out on a limb and say that being concerned about Covid-19 is not absurd.
