An accuracy rate of better than 99.99% is good enough for me.

"PHO Laboratory has detected false positive SARS-CoV-2 results on approximately 20 occasions among over 228,000 specimens tested to date for COVID-19, with ~11,000 specimens testing positive. This represents a false positivity rate of less than 0.01% (specificity of >99.99%)"

The 1 in 50 is not the chances for most people, that's exorbitantly high for most people and completely unrealistic.

The numbers are quite clear. You can go to any site that tracks the numbers (there are 4 below) and you will see that on average 2% of the people who test positive for the virus die.

You can argue that "it's usually only the old and the sick" if you want, but what kind of a person does that make you? Do you want to be the one who passes it on to them?

if I sit down and properly do the math

You'll find that it's a global pandemic: some people will die while others are just damaged physically and/or financially, and that your odds of squeaking through - as well as protecting those around you - are better with the vaccine.

I've seen that bullshit number

Calling it names doesn't change it. You can quibble about how many cases there actually are and how many people actually died from it but that's just fiddling while Rome burns.
