I had an almost identical conversation w a very smart, healthy 50-year-old physicist relative in summer 2022 (!!!) who was so relieved he got the vax before getting infected because he would have had a 2% chance of dying. Unlike your experience, when I sent him the studies and stats he ghosted me. In 99% of my attempts to expose panicking Pauls to real data all I get is a blank stare/no response. That’s what really scares me...
