99.5% is a great survival rate for a major ailment like cancer. It's a really shitty survival rate for a virus that spreads like a cold. That is the age group I'm in.
If you catch a virus while out doing shit, and there's a 1-in-200 chance you're going to die, that's crappy odds given how easy it is to get.
It's not an 0.5% death rate anymore for 50-69, since Omicron is so much weaker, and is killing almost nobody under 65, But the first two years of COVID were indeed a small but legit chance of death for anyone over 45.
What was the survival rate for taking the vaccine?
