Oh god I’ll try again.
100% of concussed NFL players were wearing helmets. That doesn’t mean helmets don’t work -- they reduce, but don’t eliminate, concussions, and since 100% of players wear them, all concussions happen among the helmeted.

62% of people killed in car crashes were wearing seatbelts.
That doesn’t mean seatbelts don’t work -- they reduce, but don’t eliminate, fatalities, and since 90% of people wear them, most fatalities happen among the wearers.

Like helmets and seat belts, vaccines reduce, but don’t eliminate, COVID risk.
With 0% vaccinated, 100% of cases were among the unvaccinated. If 100% are vaccinated, 100% of cases will be among the vaccinated.
But cases/hospitalizations/deaths will be lower in the second.

In conclusion, please take one (1) class in introductory statistics, these are really basic and fundamental errors.
And please don't do a story about how propagandists are forcing you to wear seat belts even though they don't work b/c most fatalities are among wearers.
