risk of hospitalization when it's actually "0.89%," adding that it's "0.01%" for vaccinated people.

Even this is probably way off. This study of the VA shows much more reasonable numbers. It's from a single reliable dataset, is by actual scientists who controlled for many factors, and they use death as a good proxy for hospitalization.

A 90% reduction in infections going down to 10%-60% reduction after 6 months, and the net effect of this is you just get infected after 6 months and after that total infection just slightly lagging unvaccinated. So protection against infection is only temporary. Basically worthless for preventing infection.

For deaths it shows vaccinated with 1/5th deaths, which is decent although it's about equivalent reduction individually to taking Vitamin D, or Zinc, or melatonin, antiviral mouthwash (some of crest/total w/o alcohol), etc and is less reduction than early treatment with $4 fluvoxamine (although only 2 studies / 300 people so far). And hey why not more than one? Vitamins and mouthwash are almost certainly independent variables.

If the vaccine reduced death/severity by 50x like the fear-porn says, maybe that would be worth the risk. But if I can get the same reduction by gargling mouthwash as taking an experimental new biotechnology with no track record and seemingly large number of severe side effects, how is that even a choice? That's madness.
