I suppose because of fewer deaths amongst the vaccinated that could now be down as low as 0.2% risk?

Of course that would still make the image wrong because UNVACCINATED people would still have the 0.8% risk.

It’s also entirely dependant on age and health.

Risk for a healthy 20 year old is waaaay lower than 0.2%. Risk for a 70 year old with health issues is easily 10%+ vaccinated or not. So really the stats can’t be applied generally… an individual’s “percentage risk” is going to be unique.
