    So, what does that prove? The right wing has so diminished the lives of rise who had preexisting conditions. What a despicable view pint that it changes any narrative? How! That they deserve to die? That the virus was less deadly? And since last summer, the statistics show that significantly more deaths have occurred among the unvaccinated than among the vaccinated. Sort of how natural selection works for a species that relies on its intelligence to survive. Except the stupid chose to roll the dice with the longer odds.

    75% of people dying have at least 4 comorbidities is not even true. There was poor editing on the interview.

    Do 75% of All Covid Deaths Involve People With 4 Comorbidities?

    This revelation throws the anti-vaxxers's arguments on its head.

    Right wing nonsense. Poster cores the CDC and you say the CDC withheld the data. That is the problem with conspiracy theories and how people become radicalized without even knowing it. And I just repeat my post above.

    How many people do you know who had COVID before, were vaccinated and boosted, and then got it again? Or got it seriously? I know quite a few people who were unvaccinated and got it a second time.

    I know quite a few who were fully vaccinated, later tested positive, two became quite ill. (1) 26 year old man presented fever, aches and pains and was coughing up blood (2) 66 year old man who was in the hospital 11 days with pneumonia.

    But again, there is no novel virus. Only a massive repackaging scheme and a placebo with a nasty side effects profile.

    She had the original strain. She'd actually had previous chest xrays because she'd fallen & they were checking for cracked ribs from 2018. Nonsmoker, no high blood pressure, etc, no issues with breathing until Covid, which she got in October 2020.

    She's better now than before - no current need for oxygen, etc. But her stamina isn't what it used to be at all. They had her with a respiratory therapist for a while but my dad's health issues took a turn so she's not going as often now.

    No idea what you mean by this *shrug* but whatever floats your boat.

    Did you not see my “first find” and image of Bigfoot ? This is a well-known scare meme from a doctor. It’s supposed to show “ground-glass opacity” which is a non-specific condition that predates unicorn dander. As an aside, ventilators can wreak havoc on the lungs.

    Hope all is well my friend. Testing is a huge frustration right now. On a good note that may be of encouragement, my dad has terrible issues with his lungs due to COPD. He had Covid over Christmas and was just fine, so hopefully the same outcome happens for ya'll. Prayers up.

    What was the number of co-morbidities for unvaxxed deaths by percentages?

    I'm breathless just waiting for your take on the moon landing, area 51, 9/11 and JFK.

    ^ self-inflicted beating about head and shoulders. Not only do I see no need to deny the moon landing, for instance, I do not resort to the assumption that the virus is hoaxed. That would imply intent. Rather, I believe it, along with the mass-psychosis of our time, is the out-working of a deeply-flawed field of study.

    Well the net result isn't terribly different in that even those cases have to be treated with special isolation and care protocols which is an additional burden on the hospital staff.
