The risk of dying from Covid doubles roughly every seven years older a patient is. The 35-year difference between a 35-year-old and a 70-year-old means the risk of death between the two patients has doubled five times – equivalently it has increased by a factor of 32.
A 70-year-old might be 32 times more likely to die of Covid than a 35-year-old.
In an attempt to find something - anything - to support their argument against vaccines Vispatch911 flails around on the Internet and chooses something from a year and a half ago that actually promotes their use.
Even Vispatch911's fellow-traveling anti-vaxer calls the piece "a load of absolute rubbish" in the first comment.
Don't take my word for it! Follow their link to and read what their anonymous scribe has to say. I like this part:
"That doesn't mean vaccines aren't effective at reducing death. ... PHE data suggests that being double vaccinated reduces the risk of being hospitalized with the now-dominant delta variant by around 96%. Even conservatively assuming vaccines are no more effective at preventing death than hospitalization (actually they are likely to be more effective at preventing death) this means the risk of death for double vaccinated people has been cut to less than one-twentieth of the value for unvaccinated people with the same risk profile."
The truth hurts eh.
You’re old and your odds of death from a cold or flu is high.
This just keeps getting better.

Ha! That's sort of like "Your mother wears Army boots!" from Grade 6, isn't it folks?
