Unfortunately, my choice is either to get boosted, or not to get boosted. I get most of my health care through the VA hospital, and they're locked into Pfizer and Moderna.
Djokovic, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, will miss the U.S. Open over his refusal to get vaccinated.
Biden has been widely criticized for continuing to allow illegal immigrants to be released into border towns while displaying symptoms of the coronavirus, and the number of migrants infected with the virus has surged almost 1,000% in some border sectors.
Through the fog of data, so it goes, deaths from pneumonia and the flu fell during the COVID era, classified instead as COVID deaths. According to the hoax theory, the actual danger posed by COVID was greatly overstated, because deaths caused by COVID were overstated. But there is one thing that cannot be as easily obscured via errors in classification, and that is total deaths from all causes.Referred to by statisticians and epidemiologists as “excess deaths,” this is a far less controversial data point. After all, it has an unambiguous essence: you are dead, or you are not dead. What may ail you or how you died is irrelevant. Since the COVID era began in 2020, using weekly reports issued by the CDC, I’ve been tracking total deaths in the United States. Using these same CDC reports, which go back to 2013, I’ve been comparing total deaths over the past 2.5 years to the averages based on the six years preceding 2020. The chart below clearly shows that something terrible has been happening and that it may not be over....If you compare how many people died in America during the COVID era to how many people would normally have died based on six years of prior year CDC data on deaths from all causes, the excess deaths are 25 percent over normal. Twenty five percent. With the sole exception of the Spanish Flu pandemic a century ago, there has never been a die-off in the United States on this scale.
By any standard, what has happened has been catastrophic for this country. We may never know how many of these excess deaths were from COVID, from deferred treatment for other ailments, from elevated numbers of people committing suicide, or from adverse reactions to the vaccines. But one thing must be understood unequivocally, and it ought to go without saying: This has been a tragedy on an epic scale and one from which we can only hope we have learned a great deal.For starters, and while avoiding a socialist overreaction, we may begin keeping a closer eye on the pharmaceutical industry. The accomplishments of this industry must be acknowledged. Precision medicine is coming, and the days of many dread diseases are numbered. But that day will come sooner if Americans can root out the corruption in this industry, as well as in its supposed overseers.It is important to recognize that not all players in the pharmaceutical industry are guilty of corruption, but some of the biggest have a sordid record indeed. They have hooked half the nation on anti-anxiety medications, they’ve pushed medication onto millions of children, they’ve pushed opiates out to masses of people, they’ve arguably oversold vaccines of all kinds, and they exercised far too much influence over the COVID response—including the shameful suppression of any experimental treatments or therapies they couldn’t control. Now some of them are pushing “gender confirmation” drugs, which transsexuals have to take for the rest of their lives. If that’s not enough, as we learned over the past few years, American pharmaceutical manufacturers have offshored production of many of our most essential drugs to China.Meanwhile, it’s necessary to continue to investigate what has caused millions of excess deaths. But what is indisputable is this: In just over two years, over 1.5 million people are dead in America who in normal times would have been alive today. Even now, based on the most recent data available, deaths from all causes in America are still not quite 15 percent above normal. A mass die-off is still happening in America and reportedly around the world as well, and we have no idea what’s coming next.
"and we have no idea what’s coming next."Yeah, because before COVID we had 100% comprehension what was coming next. WFT?
I read it as if he was sort of expecting an infestation of fire-breathing zombie plague ants...
Cause by climate change
And Trump
And here... It killed the hell out of geezers, and SOME folks who where expensive... Nowhere near all of 'em... I figure we're going to be seeing damn near every death in a nursing home listed as the 'Rona. But they won't say anything about nursing homes.
So, it is looking like that horse dewormer actually has efficacy around the 'vids... Is anyone gonna apologize?
