The figure of 99.99% survivable is therefore incorrect.

P.S. Covid deaths in the UK are more than double the civilian UK losses during WW2, for context.

Since covid came on the scene, what happened to the common flu?

The flu was unusually low for the 20-21 flu season. The mask wearing, staying home, hand washing, etc all helped with that.

Things like that don't disappear they just become a lot less important.


Pandemic vs regular ordinary run of the day Flu.


They still give the Flu Shot. I got mine at the same time I recieved my booster shot.

Let me try again… UNDER 50 or 60 YEARS OLD (pick your cutoff based on source). You understand that though right and now you’ll revise your quick math some other way to “disprove”.

Plenty of population over that age with significantly higher risk and death rates. Their risk reward analysis is quite different.

I love the amount of “disproving” everything by cherry-picking or straight up ignoring what I or others with questions have asked. Straw man arguments are about as good as ad-hominem (or death wishes) I guess.

Why is Covid more deadly this year with vax?
Why do highly vaxxed countries continue with large wave infections?
Why is data so hard to get on vaccine injuries, wether rampant or rare?

Last, I’d like to read your studies indicating that natural immunity from infection is less effective than a Vaccine. I provided my source and the Israeli study is easily searchable. You seem to want to call everything I say as “wrong” and bring 0 source or reference to educate. Other than some math that misses the whole point of age adjusted risk I guess.

Flu went from 40k-60k deaths a year to 0. That isn’t becoming less important it’s just an inaccurate pcr test that can’t differentiate. A test that isn’t valid after end of this year for this reason it seems.

I have to say, I always find it amusing how some people pick a single thing within all of their inalienable rights to contest, be it ability to think freely, to own private property, to act in self defense, or to worship within a freely chosen religion, yet accept everything that they perceive as benefiting them right now. The same people love to move freely within their country, love their right to disagree, their security in own home, etc etc ….ALL results of freedom, particularly freedom of choice etc …

See what I did there champ allow people the right of choice, you know how to protect yourself and your loved ones. Allow others the choice to choose what they are comfortable with without fear of becoming a societal pariah. I love that there are TRF members defending their choice to not vaccinate. That’s awesome.

Only when your rights don't interfere with others and that's how many perceive this specific issue and for good reason.

However, in this case it is those choosing to go unvaccinated who are making this pandemic more deadly than it needs to be and that is a fact.

Ah I see.

Perhaps you’re correct. I received my vaccine as well as my loved ones. Due to the statistics provided by our resident physicians and the like I’m nearly 100% protected against death. According to the statistics, if I were to still acquire covid I would require nothing more than a quarantine or until I tested negative. No big deal. Since ive become fully vaccinated ive been masking when required and social distancing when possible. I admit, ive enjoyed the guilty pleasure of a few sporting events where Social distancing wasn’t possible shame on me.

Never once have I’ve been concerned with people who haven’t been vaccinated. Why should I be? The statistics are on my side…

So I’m not sure what rights you’re specifically referring to..

Well I too love freedom (insert Toby Keith song here) and the right to choose puddin. I have my oversized suv, my things that go boom, my faith, my beliefs, my American flag, choice of schools, ability to live where and how I like, etc etc. But I also understand that when my choice directly impacts another person standing next to me negatively, that’s a problem….. Now we better get outta here before this gets political
