    I’m guessing, at least by your posts, that you wouldn’t be a good candidate for Islam.

    But seriously, do you take my point regarding the appeals to authority and numbers ?

    The funny thing is…there is no denying who was right and who was wrong. The censored doctors/epidemiologists/public health officials were right. And the propaganda pushers were wrong.

    Crazy is that there is a weird human psychological thing where some cannot accept reality even when confronted with it.

    The data speaks for itself. All the way back to Italy/Diamond Princess/New York/etc.

    You're changing gears! I focused on the efficacy of the vaccine, not some of the steps governments took during the height of COVID.

    Stop. There is a major difference that dying “from” Covid and “with” Covid.

    You have to understand this by now. You know what the data shows throughout. But if you want to peddle the lie. Go ahead.

    The disease was dangerous to the elderly with comorbidities. We botched the public health strategy in an epic way. Most know this. Even you likely know this. But due to human nature can’t accept it for some reason.

    Death is death ... it was #3 cause of death for 3 straight years ... you can't spin that into "I told YOU it wasn't dangerous" ...

    But I gather from your first thought that you are still peddling the lie that people who died from "skydiving accidents", but also had covid, were ruled covid deaths? That was laughably stupid and still is.

    While I agree with you in principle, there are “statistics“ and beliefs which are being promoted as factual and accurate to prove points that are at the least questionable in their accuracy.
    This is done on both sides.

    I’m just here with popcorn at this point as neither side will surrender.

    Since we’d been in contact with someone who has it, we got tested today. Both Negative.
    Nurse said they’re seeing a steady flow of Covid and of flu

    Do not peddle the lie that covid is the “cause” of death when it is not. You are defining the damage these propagandists have caused. Has Covid “caused” death? Yes. But it is not the third leading cause? Dying “from” Covid is completely different than dying “with” Covid. The worst of this thing thankfully was over after Delta.

    LOL!

    The data speaks for itself (Italy/Diamond Princess/New York/etc). And that would include the data on the shots and the doctors who took the shot but no longer take the booster that is recommended by the idiots at the cdc…

    There is a reason no one is listening to the idiots at the cdc. It is because their doctors and common sense at this point has shown they were duped.

    Listen man you made an outlandish claim that the covid vaccines are the most studied vaccines in the history of mankind.

    It up to you to provide evidence that the covid vaccines are in fact the most studied vaccines in the history of mankind.

    Please do so and don’t be such an ass about it.

    And consider this, every year the flu vaccine is studied prior to approval and use. That’s been going on for decades…

    Still crazy how many of our friends here are taking the booster though.

    But agree!

    It's hard to take any statistics about COVID as fact anymore. So much crap has been fed to us by people on all sides to know exactly what is fact and what is just BS and I'm not saying anybody is intentionally lying. I think people often believe what they are preaching but are just wrong, then nobody wants to admit they were wrong so they just pile on the garbage.

    Now you are denying the actual covid death data is real… a new low for you. It’s sad that you can’t figure out that the reason why Delta was the last hurrah of covid is because it broke out just as 50-60% of the US was getting their first shot, so between that and natural immunity from having previous strains, the death toll was posed to start dropping. It played out exactly as Fauci said it would, and there is no doubt the social distancing saved a lot of lives before the immunity started kicking in.


    Fast tracking the vaccine and making it available to everyone was the best thing Trump did as president, and it comical that it’s the one thing you guys hate about him.

    LOL!

    I am not denying anything. If you want to ignore the difference in dying “from” Covid and “with” Covid (both were considered Covid deaths)…then that is on you. If you want to ignore the data that showed the disease is not that dangerous to a healthy person…then that is on you.

    Of course underlying health problems is a significant risk factor, but the truth is About 30% of covid deaths were with patients WITHOUT underlying health problems during the pre-vaccine and pre-natural immunity period. I think your problem is only believe what you want to believe and ignore all the other FACTS.
