Did some research and came to this conclusion. Perhaps double-check my math here?

---Total population and cases as of (https://www.census.gov/popclock/) (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/)

18365039 coronavirus cases in US 330052960 total US population

---Calculated for per/100k pop 5.49% of US has the virus 5498 people per 100k (all ages)

---Hospitalization rates as of (https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_3.html)

30/100k hospital 0-4y 17/100k hospital 5-17y 183/100k hospital 18-49y 429/100k hospital 50-64y 871/100k hospital 65+y

---Percentage of hospitalization calculated from per/100k pop

27% counting all age groups hospital 12% under 65 hospital 4.1% under 50 hospital 0.8% under 18 hospital 0.5% under 4 hospital

---Percentage receiving vaccine having "health impact events" (unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or healthcare professional) (note: from wording may not necessarily mean hospital, but similar levels of care perhaps?)

112807 total received vaccine 3150 "health impact events"

2.8% had "health impact events"

This falls right in between "under 18" and "under 50"

If under 40ish Safer to have virus than vaccine?

Note that this is based on currently available data. We have no idea about the long term consequences of the vaccine, more people could theoretically have "health impact events" down the road months/years after taking it, this doesn't count other unknown/unnoticed affects (sterilization?) This isn't based on death rate (we don't know the death rate of the vaccine). Lastly this isn't considering long term affects of the virus (if there are) or potential long term affects of the vaccine.
