Here, with this link you can see the following:

06.7% of Deaths were 0-49 ( 64,601 Dead) <--Where you are probably
17.5% of Deaths were 50-64 (169,000 Dead)
75.8% of Deaths were 65+ (732,587 Dead)

67.9% of Cases were 0-49 (49,660,174 Cases)
18.6% of Cases were 50-64 (18,164,908 Cases)
13.5% of Cases were 65+ (13,155,590 Cases)

Based on the given data, a rough estimate chance of dying of COVID for ages 0-49 is 0.13%.

That's ignoring any number of other factors known and unknown. Individual risks like preexisting health conditions, occupation, and location may increase or decrease the likelihood of death from COVID-19. You have to also factor in severe illness and long-term effects from COVID-19, not just Deaths.

Ignoring the effects on the individual, you have to acknowledge the problems large numbers of critically ill or sick people have on society as well. Obviously you've all heard about "Flattening the Curve" and that was purely to prevent the healthcare system from collapsing during moments when newly reported cases were jumping well over 100,000 per day. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...vid-cases.html


An intellectually honest person would weigh any COVID vaccination risks against data such as that and realize that no solution is absolutely perfect, but the vaccination rollout was the only MORAL and EVIDENCE BACKED option
