I'm not sure if that's true. But I'm willing to assume COVID has a 99% recover-ability rate. Don't other diseases have a 99% recover-ability rate and we still vaccinate for them? Shouldn't we vaccine against a disease that is lethal regardless of the statistical trend?

Also, like the usual stats stuff that get misrepresented all the time, the mortality rate of COVID isn't <1%. Unless you're talking about a SPECIFIC type of COVID mortality measurement, it's higher than 1%.
