Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

LOL. Some people will literally talk out of both sides of their mouth and still expect people to take them seriously. MAYBE if they said they were wrong about lockdowns, school closures, masks, natural immunity and vaxxing kids maybe someone would believe something they said. But we know that's not happening and that's the best part. Too funny.

 

Some people will look at a number, without context or nuance, and claim victory. Look, 10! Of course, the scale is 1 - 100, and 10 is a low score. But when you have zero intellectual curiosity and trying to win an argument, you yell 10 as loud as you can, and demean anyone who tells you the 10 doesn't really mean what you think it does.

Does anyone other than 95 think Sweden having .4 less person per household, nearly 50% work from home rate, and a high vaccination rate didn't play a significant role in Sweden ultimately doing well in COVID mortality numbers?

 

LOL. Grift on! Maybe if you admit you were wrong for pretty much 3 years everyone wouldn't laugh at you.

 

I'm the grifter? I'm not the one who thinks we would have had the same results as Sweden because of some major statistical differences. Facts that cannot be escaped include:

1. Sweden has .4 less person per household
2. Sweden had more than 2X people working from home
3. Sweden has a significantly higher vaccination percentage

Can anyone explain why these facts aren't important? Because apparently to a poster here, he can conveniently ignore them and will continue to argue Sweden handled things properly. He also ignores this chart, and the fact that while Sweden didn't shut down like other countries, it did take action with small changes like closing colleges and high schools around mid April.



Sweden had the advantage of having a high percentage of single occupancy households and a smaller per household population in March of 2020. Yet, while other countries were shutting down, Sweden was late to act. This is the result. Sweden did make changes in mid April, and by August, Sweden had caught up to its Nordic neighbors. And in fact, eventually did better when it came to excess deaths, but again, at this point, Sweden had the largest work from home percent population, and one of the highest vaccination rates in Europe.

But forget these facts. Much better to ignore them and stick to your story and call others who use facts against you silly names. Might work in 5th grade to win arguments? But I would hope people here were at least more educated.

 

Comical hearing “misinformation alert” from one of the 15% still falling for the propaganda…

 

If we’ve learned anything from 2020ff, it’s how despairingly easy it is to drive people mad ...

This is the state of derangement we are dealing with and it remains highly concerning. Even those “awake” enough to question the “vaccines” and oppose the lockdowns still seem to think the existence of the disease per se is an established fact.

Covid’s Third Birthday – A Retrospective Weekend

 

If we learned anything from COVID it's that TH doesn't know when to let a thread die

 

You do you. I don’t intend to let mass psychosis and crimes against humanity go by the wayside.

 

My view on these results is quite simple: in order to justify a policy as monumental as shutting down all of society for the first time in history, the de minimisoutcome must be a certainty that fewer people died because of it. Lockdown was not one “lever” among many: it was the nuclear option. The onus must be on those who promoted lockdowns to produce a table showing a clear correlation between the places that enacted mandatory shutdowns and their overall outcome in terms of excess deaths. But there is no such table; there is no positive correlation. Three years after, there is no non-theoretical evidence that lockdowns were necessary to save lives. This is not an ambiguous outcome; IT IS WHAT FAILURE LOOKS LIKE.

Why doesn't Britain regret lockdown?

 

Physician Assistant Fired for Reporting COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Events to VAERS (theepochtimes.com)
For her efforts to report injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and to educate others in her hospital system on doing the same, Physician Assistant Deborah Conrad said she was labeled an anti-vaxxer and fired from her job.
“After the vaccines came out, there was this uptick in unusual symptoms, some of which I had never seen in my 20-year career,” Conrad said. “In every case, it was in somebody who had received the COVID-19 vaccine.”

Conrad said she had never admitted an adult patient with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) until the COVID-19 vaccines.
“And every patient who came in with RSV was vaccinated for COVID,” Conrad said. “It wasn’t normal.”

“A lot of these myocarditis cases came in with fevers because of this massive inflammatory response that was taking place in the body, so they would be labeled as septic, treated as if we were treating pneumonia or fevers of unknown origin,” Conrad said. “We’d treat them with antibiotics and all sorts of other things, not realizing that they were having heart failure.”

“I couldn’t remain silent, even if it meant losing my career and everything I worked for,” she said. “I was fired a few weeks later and walked out like a criminal in front of all my peers.”

 

Weir how the CDC seems to err on one side of the covid situation: re COVID-19 Of 16 cases pertinent to kids alone 15 (94%) exaggerated risk Not only are they making basic mistakes, but they tend to mislead in the same direction.

Here is excess deaths during covid. Interesting data.

 

Oh, and for the grifter, here is more charts showing how Sweden stacked up some other countries. Must've really locked down LOL.

 

I remember when the Czech Republic was chiding the US for not masking up enough.

 

Did anyone think to ask Granny whether she wanted to be saved by separating her from her loved ones in the sunset of her life ?
