So this statement you made doesn't apply anymore? It is irrelevant now all of a sudden? We aren't taking the 40 million into account anymore? Why? Only one or the other? Then why even bring any of these numbers up if you're just going to disregard them?
> Removing those children from my calculation...
You're not removing them from a calculation, you're removing them from the 120 number and then ignoring the fact that you've also already removed 40 from that number, which was the calculation you're referring to.
Why even have this conversation if you're just going to arbitrarily decide to not consider a factor you've already considered prior? What are you trying to accomplish with this discussion?

Who says it doesn't apply? I said:
...there are more (perhaps much more) than twice
as many folks who have not had COVID who are
unvaccinated than there are those who have had
COVID.
The fact that there are ~45 million children who are unvaccinated because those under 12 haven't been approved for the vaccine(s) doesn't invalidate my point at all. In fact, it strengthens it.
The ~75 million folks who could get vaccinated but have not done so is still almost twice the number of recorded cases.
I'm trying really hard to assume good faith, so I'll make the leap and consider that perhaps English isn't your first language.
Actually, the calculation is 120 (total unvaccinated)-45 (children under 12)=75.
Whether or not someone has contracted the virus or not is irrelevant to whether or not they have (or can) receive a vaccination.
Whether or not those 40 million cases have some level of immunity is also irrelevant to whether or not they are vaccinated.
