      No Ms. Wheeler, you are mistaken as was Joe. He was not informed about the shifting nature of the pandemic, how the variants are landing young adults in hospitals and ICUs. Also uninformed about high rates of long-haul COVID in young adults, many debilitated as a result.https://twitter.com/Liz_Wheeler/status/1387103402186973186 …

      What’s the rate of hospitalization and death for healthy young adults (aka those who aren’t obese or suffering from other serious underlying health conditions)?

      That wasn’t my question. My question was: what’s the IFR for young healthy people?

      Replying to @Liz_Wheeler

      We don’t only vaccinate young people on the basis of fatality rates. We vaccinate: 1) to slow the thousands of young people now being hospitalized from B.1.17, now the dominant variant in US, 2) to prevent thousands of long haul COVID19, 3) to halt virus transmission by summer

      Even without this, the risk of death from COVID-19 is far above that from vaccines for younger people. We demonstrated that even at age 20 the risk of death from COVID is ~1 in 17,000, which is much higher than any vaccine riskhttps://gidmk.medium.com/what-is-the-true-death-rate-of-covid-19-1e01ae23ae57 …
