It's completely natural and works wonders. I believe in eating well, exercising, and taking vitamins to boost my immune system. These are the things rarely talked about from the media, government, or people who've gotten the jab, yet it's the most important thing to do. Instead, all we hear is put a mask on, stay home, get the jab. In the end, we all have "one" body in our lifetime and no one has the right to tell others what they should and shouldn't put in their bodies.
This is so categorically false I can't believe you even said it. In the early days of the pandemic before we had any effective knowledge of what treatments worked, the CFR was nearly 4%. Now it's dropped quite a bit because doctors know what to do for most people.

Actually I can believe that you said it because it fits with your narrative, but it's disturbing that you actually believe it.

Lots of people end up needing treatment, and many end up in the hospital. WITH treatment, it may be survivable at the rate you quote, but it varies widely depending on age and underlying health conditions, so no, there's no way that number is correct. 99% survivability for ages under 60 may be true WITH a crazy amount of treatment, never without.

The problem with numbers is that if you give them the wrong context they become meaningless.
