By 2030, the world's population will approach 9 Billion. With things like vaccines, we can cut that number down to about 1 Billion

Theoretically, one could do this with the U.S. data as well...has anyone seen this yet?

Also theoretically (but it will never happen), they could track every hospitalization or death (for any reason) by vaccine status, not just the covid ones. Slap those numbers in a chart on the (virtual) front page of the NYT.

But myopia rules the day: my vaccinated friends now tell me they are ignoring case count, "But if the total number of deaths from covid in highly vaccinated states is lower this year, we know the vaccines work!" When I try pointing out that perhaps this year deaths from covid are being counted differently, or perhaps this year treatment has improved, they act like I'm crazy. We'll see what they say about this German study.
