What's this?

If my math is correct, that number (3362) would be two thousandths of a per

cent of total people vaccinated. (I used 158,700,000 as the numbers of vaccinated people, 3362/158700000 is .00002118, or .00212%, or 2 people out of a million vaccinated people).

Tucker might well be telling the truth, I could see a vaccine having that sort of mortality and being considered wildly successful. He’s just eliding over the percentages, and the enormous number of vaccinated people, to give scary numbers—three THOUSAND! THIRTY every DAY!

It’s just a cheap rhetorical trick, but not necessarily a lie.
