No, just a higher percentage of em. Which is exactly what happened.
On the other hand, I've heard a lot of antivaxxers proclaim everyone who got the shot would be dead by last year.

Also, that's not the fucking point. The vaccination protects everyone, even if you aren't at a high risk of death from COVID. Every infection is an opportunity for mutation, and every vaccination brings us closer to herd immunity.
They aren't real big on "facts", those who are saying the opposite... It's more like a "feels like" statement, which they repeat b/c someone on the TV or radio said it, therefore it must be true.
They also aren't big on doing things for the sake of other people.
Omg that's what really blew me away, all these "Pro-Life" people, some who are legit or at least believe they are e.g. they would adopt kids to prevent them growing up not taken care of, basically killing people, more or less knowingly, and they neither care nor even so much as (choose to) see the contradiction.
the kind of pro-life that's perfectly happy for women to die trying to give birth to dead babies, but incensed that anyone could make them wear a face mask for 3 minutes.
yeeaaah. you know the ones.
Yep, a whole bunch of the Q Anon adjacent folks, mostly evangelical extremist conspiracy theorists at this point, were calling the vaccine a 'clotshot' and a bioweapon, and were actually claiming it would kill basically everyone who got it within a year.
Lots of overlap with the people that think 5g is a mind control weapon.
Their own party sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people for bullshit.
By his anti Vax logic...

Shouldn't all the vaccinated be dead by now?
What a moron
Who the fuck ever said that the vaccine was necessary for the survival of most of the population?
For most of us this was about contributing to herd immunity for the benefit of those who were at risk of permanent injury or death from covid, and about lowering the personal risk of going through a bad infection yourself.
Stupid people. Like Elon.
I would assume the screenshot is photoshopped.
I mean, I would, but by the musk of it... it smells legit.

its funny muski thinks he would be on the side of tyler durden. Absolute fool.
He is essentially the perfect inverse of Durden.
Musk is an immensely wealthy capitalist while Durden eschews basically all material possessions beyond what is immediately useful toward the purpose of destroying the world's financial system.
Musk attempts to revolutionize all kinds of technologies and make them less costly to allow for more widespread and common proliferation, whereas Durden believes in basically a return-to-nature kind of anarcho-primitivism: he hates how technology leads to dull, boring, monotonous, safe lives.
Finally, Durden is actually immensely charismatic to the point of being a cult leader of basically a secret network of terrorists, relishes in near total anonymity and would likely never want wide public credit for his actions... whereas Musk is probably one of the most awkward, poorly spoken dorks who has ever managed to gain an extremely public cult following, basically by promising impossible nonsense, who seeks and needs constant validation and fame.
EDIT: As a further illustration of point 2, if Musk ever dies in a situation where he decides to not pilot the vehicle he is in, it will be because the massive amount of money he has spent to develop a self driving car will prove faulty; a victim of overconfidence in his on wealth, his own leadership, technology. He would be an unwitting victim of his own failed self and worldview.
If Durden would have died in the 'Let Go' scene, he would have been completely fine with the random nature of the universe taking its course, and basically would have enjoyed the sense of being 'truly alive' for the duration he was dancing so close to death.
Shouldn't I be 3 times more autistic/magnetic/gay?
the vaccine did not make me measurably more autistic than I already was or give me cool magnetic superpowers, I demand a refund of the $0 I spent to get it
Send your bank details for a refund
ah but how it affect your sexual preferences?
I uh, um,
The "vaccine will kill you in x years, government conspiracy " line of logic makes no sense when the vaccine is against a deadly disease.
Somone ask him where our spaceships are. Aren't we supposed to be on mars, elon? Where are our ships, elon?

I have no clue why Tesla sales dropped 45% last quarter. Keep insulting literally half of the country. I hope that works out for you Elon.
Elon really raises my self-confidence
It’s been three years… shouldn’t all the vaxed be dead or have 5g now?
Spoken like a piece of human garbage that thinks all the deaths during the pandemic are not worth remembering.
I'm so so tired of hearing about this jackass. Can we unsubscribe yet
No, they died on year one.
10-year old have a better grasp if science.
Based on anti vaxxer logic we should be dead too and we arent so...
Shouldn't all the vaccinated be dead by now?
7 million people died
We’ve had to deal with musk for over three years, shouldn’t musk be dead by now?
or eaten
