These numbers and this tweet are from last September??
As far as I could find, the CDC hasn’t updated the “Covid-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios” document since March of this year. The “current best estimate” from that update were as follows:
0-17 : 99.998%
18-49 : 99.95%
50-64 : 99.4%
65+ : 91%
Not sure why they changed the age break downs. Doesn’t really matter…I think we’ve known from basically the beginning the mortality rate of the disease isn’t what MSM makes it out to be.
A couple of thoughts… I’m blown away that there are people I know signing their <12 year old kids up for vaccines. I would never think to get my kids vaccinated for a disease/virus that has a 99.998% survival rate. Friggen asinine.
Second thought… Why is it so hard to find the “official” CDC infection fatality rate on their website? And why isn’t it update more frequently…

I'm still waiting for @Reverant to get back to me with those covid transmission reduction % rates. I'm not holding my breathe.
Odd, it seems this federal judge is wondering the same thing:

Odd, it seems this federal judge is wondering the same thing:
In general, the overwhelming lack of evidence likely shows CMS [Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services] had insufficient evidence to mandate vaccination on the wide range of facilities that it did. Looking even beyond the evidence deficiencies relating to the specific facilities covered, the lack of data regarding vaccination status and transmissibility—in general—is concerning. Indeed, CMS states that ‘the effectiveness of the vaccine(s) to prevent disease transmission by those vaccinated [is] not currently known.’ CMS also admits that the continued efficacy of the vaccine is uncertain.
No one questions that protecting patients and healthcare workers from contracting COVID is a laudable objective. But the Court cannot, in good faith, allow CMS to enact an unprecedented mandate that lacks a ‘rational connection between the facts found and the choice made’.
