j/k, I've met some good Navy folks, they're usually just a little odd, I think it's all the time at sea.

I'm not saying the vaccine does nothing. I acknowledge that it has benefits, and regardless, I likely would have been vaccinated anyway, because I believe in vaccines and originally I was trying to make sure my nephew that has congenital heart disease and is a transplant recipient would not get it from me.

Here's my issue with this pandemic crisis that we are in. I don't see a crisis in the numbers. The Covid death rate in Georgia is under 2% right now. You can argue that the vaccinations have helped bring that down from before when it was closer to 4% and I would agree with that. What I also take into account is the WHO representative who said that because of all the asymptomatic cases the real case number could be as much as ten times the amount that we see. That could very well slide the decimal to the left and drop that death rate to .2% and even if not that much, you have to take that into account when you talk about the numbers.

I have included a link for the age related statistics for Covid reported by the Georgia Department of Public Health. If you review it, you can see there is not currently any surge going on here, and that the deaths for younger generations is practically non existent given the number of cases. Mandating this age group to be vaccinated makes no sense, as they are more likely to die from a bolt of lightning or car accident than Covid, and it won't actually stop them from spreading the virus. It would at best make them even more likely to be asymptomatic, spreading it around without any care in the world.

Gotta run for a bit, but will check back later for your input.
