Clearly Elijah doesn't know how vaccines work because this is apples and oranges.

95% effective at preventing you from getting it vs 99% chance you'll survive if you do get it. A proper comparison needs to show how likely a random unvaccinated person is to catch it. Obviously a vaccinated person should be at an even lower risk of death because they should have a lower risk of catching it.

Now if the vaccine had a 5% chance of killing you then yea, he'd have a point.

EDIT: Yes, yes alright. I know a vaccine doesn't "prevent" you from getting covid. It was a simplified explanation to get a point across.
