Covid - We're All Gonna Die!

 Sooner or later, we all die. Data from Massachusetts suggests that later is still a good estimate.

More than 4.3 million Massachusetts residents out of the state’s population of about 6.9 million have been vaccinated. One hundred breakthrough deaths, therefore, represent 0.002 percent of all fully vaccinated individuals.

The 82.5-year-old median age of the deaths is about five years older than the U.S. average life expectancy, which is 77.3 years old as of last year.

Can I interpret this to suggest that if you get vaccinated, then catch the Kung Flu anyway, you're likely to live about 5 years longer than average? Or would that be statistic abuse?
