Can I ask what makes this a "nasty" virus?
Seems to me like it's not different from the flu. Almost no one dies from it, few people do, some people get really sick and most people have mild symptoms. It seems to me lile your experience matches with this.
Ebola is a nasty virus, aka it kills almost everyone, therefore very few people catch it, and the symptoms sound very very bad.
Ending up on a ventilator is not a symptom, as scary as that might sound. Having your internal orgnans turned into shit sounds way worse than any of the covid symptoms.
By the way, I've had it. I admit it was worse than most flus I've had. But it was nothing I would ever shut down the world economy and jail people for or use an emergency authorized new vaccine for. And this is the experience of a huge majority of the people that actually got sick. Everybody else, like 95% of people, never got it or were asymptomatic, which is the same thing, or were misdiagnosed.
Again, how is this particularly nasty?
Since we're still talking about it...
CDC COVID Data Tracker
They're pretty good about explaining their sources. With some looking you should be able to find it pretty easily. Or we could just skip the rigmarole and agree that you will find the data, definition, and source to be unreliable, and you can disregard these data in their entirety.
I don't know absolute numbers, because absolute numbers will not tell you whether the vaccine is harmful or beneficial. If you vaccinate a small group of people with a harmful vaccine, you will have a small absolute number of people harmed. If you vaccinate a large number of people with a vaccine that is partially protective, but not perfectly protective, you may still have a large absolute number of deaths. Rates are more informative, and I've already posted a link to death rates broken out by vaccination status.2. How many of these people were "vaccinated"? This is even more critical, because you guys may be killing them.
I'm going to be away for a few days with limited internet access. I'm happy to pick these conversations back up at the end of the week. Just avoiding the appearance of ignoring potentially good responses.
According to that paper, confirmed COVID deaths are defined by deaths whose causes are unconfirmed. They go further to assert this number is almost certainly higher.
I think it’s a perverse word game that Ivy League alumni play at the yacht club for amusement. The betting pot keeps getting bigger.
Negatory. Authority, and the whole idea that someone should rule over another, is always the problem and never the solution.
The government of today believes it is maintaining a rightly-ordered society. People debate the meaning of natural law and what that means because it's ill-defined and open to easy manipulation. And the people at the top (and the personalities attracted to that structure) love vertical organization and "the pecking order".
Contrast this to a simpler solution: A blanket law that prohibits individuals *and* governments from *initiating* force, threats of force, and fraud against another individual, and swift and severe punishments for breaking that rule. Everyone knows what that means, even if they pretend not to. And if there were no exceptions to that rule, then all these problems ranging from gun control to civil asset forfeiture, abortion bans, and censorship and everything in between would vanish and we would have a civil society. That day will come when people decide their independence and autonomy is more important than obeying an external authority figure.
