The math is deaths / cases, so I would kindly ask you to point out what the mathematical flaw is in my post.

Do those numbers tell the whole story? Of course not. But we're not getting granular numbers. For example, the following broken down numbers would be EXCEEDINGLY telling:

Number of people who have Covid and number of deaths for these categories:

1. Had Covid, didn't get vaccinated, and had Covid a second time (I would consider that a breakthrough re-infection).
2. Had Covid, got vaccinated, and had Covid a second time (I would consider that a super-breakthrough re-infection).
3. Never had Covid, got vaccinated, and got Covid (Already considered a breakthrough infection).

I'm being told as a person who has had Covid, it doesn't count and I need to get vaccinated. I would love to see statistics from categories 1 and 2 above so that I can see evidence that a vaccine on top of already having Covid provides a significant benefit. And I'd like to see statistics from categories 1 and 3, to see how a person who has had Covid (natural antibodies) compares to a person who only has vaccine-provided antibodies.

As of right now, I haven't seen that type of statistical breakdown, and that is unfortunate.

Also, I'd much rather "my" vaccine doses be given to someone in some other country that hasn't already had Covid. But I guess in some "woke" logical pretzel, that makes me selfish.
