No, but it drops the risk to levels comparable with many other activities that normal people take on a regular basis. Which is really the best that you can ask for in life.
- 323 5y agoThat's a big misconception. The vaccine "makes you 25 years younger" so to speak. Meaning that it gives an 80 year old the COVID risk of a 55 year old, which is still pretty big. But if you are old, COVID still remains very dangerous to you, even if vaccinated.
- stickfigure 5y agoIf you are old, most diseases and activities are very dangerous to you. Your chance of dying in a car accident are highest of any age group, including 16-17yo new drivers. Just being 80 gives you a 10% annual chance of death, which climbs dramatically as you get towards 90. Your risk tolerance automatically goes up as you age, even if you don't notice.
