Before we can talk about the 99.8% recovery rate we need to apply the rate of those who become ill (e.g. 10%). Then recovery rate applies to this group only. So you can say that the population survival rate is 99.98%.
Now compare it with the 5% vaccine fatality rate (those who just cannot function properly without going to the hospital).
