1.6% mortality rate for all people who have tested positive
Possibly their most misleading statistic. Prior to 2020, flu mortality rates were calculated using the infection fatality rate (IFR) which is typically around one tenth of the case fatility rate (CSR). They "spontaneously" decided to start counting covid deaths using the CFR instead, yielding wildly exaggerated and panic-inducing data. In reality, the death rate for covid is probably closer to 0.16%.
the mortality rate for transplant recipients who test positive for COVID ranges from 18% to 32%
More garbage statistics. What is the death rate for transplant patients overall? What is the death rate for unvaccinated transplant patients who test positive for covid 19? These "18-32%" and "1.6%" figures do not represent a valid comparison.
