> let's say 0.25 or so Where did you get this data? > Remember, COVID hasn't been shown to be particularly dangerous to young people... What are the top 3 leading causes of health-related deaths in your choice of demographic (15-24? 25-49?) in your choice of 2020 or 2021?

> What are the top 3 leading causes of health-related deaths in your choice of demographic (15-24? 25-49?) in your choice of 2020 or 2021? Covid was only #3 for all age groups in the USA during the pandemic (and remember, old people are the mostly likely to die at any given point, because, well, they're old). https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm Meanwhile, Covid is far behind accidents, suicide, drug overdoses and homicide for young people: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/levels-and-trends-in-older-adolescent-(15-to-19-years)-and-young-adult-(20-to-24-years)-mortality https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/levels-and-...

  I apologize, when I said your choice of demographic I meant your choice of demographic that encompasses "young" as per the topic of your original comment. Yes, when including the elderly, cancer and heart disease are greater causes of health-related deaths. Is COVID-19 not the #1 health-related cause of death for "young" people? > accidents, suicide, drug overdoses and homicide Not long ago this discussion was about health risks, such as infectious diseases or medical complications. But yes, young people can be pretty reckless. We were doing arithmetic, such as multiplying the risk of myocarditis and hitherto uncorrelated medical complications by 1.0, and then a number that is likely several orders of magnitude larger (death by COVID, not even the much, much more likely disablement of "long covid") by a number you erroneously claimed was 0.25 and was perhaps around 0.6 almost a year ago (anti-body study, 9/2021-2/2022).
