Also have had close friends to contract Covid and I have followed their progress. I do not proclaim to be a Medical Expert on Covid, really don't think anyone can claim that at this point. People need to do their own research and make their own decisions on Covid, and the vaccine.
CDC made a statement that covid survival rate is 99.8%? Where did they make such statement? I have not heard it. Could you share your source?

Yes people should make their own decisions but we need to be mindful what kind of misleading information we post publicly. Many people might be gullible and this being a mental health forum some people might be quite vulnerable already, these are tough times. Someone might read that covid survival rate is 99.8%, assume that it’s true and stop using precautions.

Sure people should be responsible for using logic and don’t just believe everything but I don’t think it means we are free to post anything and everything. We should be mindful.

We are free to post our personal preferences of course. Such as “I want to get vaccinate”, “or I am not comfortable with vaccination”. It’s quite different than statement “covid has 99.8% survival rate”. This goes beyond personal preference and it’s misleading.
