New data from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows the majority of people who died from COVID-19 in August were fully vaccinated.
… It’s a continuation of a troubling trend that has emerged over the past year. As vaccination rates have increased and new variants appeared, the share of deaths of people who were vaccinated has been steadily rising.
Are YOU?
be stupid!
Let’s be a little more scientific and a little less superstitious! <sheesh!>
The new talking point from Democrats is that those school closures, lockdowns, mandates…didn’t really happen. At least they weren’t nearly as comprehensive and long-lasting as those mean Republicans are saying.
Well, I have a reminder for them. Not only did they pound the “deplorables” into the ground with mandates, censorship, school closures lasting up to a year, and economic sanctions for failing to comply–vast numbers of Democrats wanted the COVID fascists to do even more. The madness was real, the harm extensive, and the real threat to our democracy was laid bare by oppressive Democrat policies.
Yes, we are seeing COVID denialism. Only it’s not Conservatives denying that COVID is an issue, it’s Lefties denying their past utterly despotic and destructive behavior in response to COVID. That response was, and still is in places, FAR more damaging to Americans than the virus itself.
The BEST they can say is that they are naïve gulls and slack-jawed minions. Doesn’t exactly inspire voter confidence, now does it?
So next time you hear a Democrat politician dancing around about how Democrats are for freedom, or that their COVID policies weren’t too strict really, remember how insane the Democrat Party went over this issue.
And the damage has indeed been immense. Just as a child psychologist it was always very clear to me that this would cause huge and irreversible damage in our children. And, alas, it has…
But, of course, there was a whole lot more damage than that!
happy about it. Not because it totally solves the problem, but because maybe–maybe–there will be ONE non-ignoramus on the panel. And that is a stark and HUGE change for the better…
Sure, it may be mainly morons and nincompoops, but at least there is a chance that some truth will get out! And there will be a few people who are non-partisan enough to see it and say, “You know, that actually makes a lot of sense!”
And THAT is why the gun-control nutters™ are totally soiling their britches over this. They just can’t tolerate reasoned opposition.
Olbermann is doing his usual angry-to-the-point-of-mental-illness clueless rant (doesn’t he have any other setting?). Lefties are NOT used to having to actually defend their empty and puerile pontifications! A true Democrat avoids that when they can, right?
And if they are wrong on this, what else might they be wrong about? See, the whole house of cards starts to wobble…
My bet: The vaccine. Take it to the bank!
Anti-vaxxers. What a bunch of nutters!
Right? … Right? Buehler? Byoooler?
Covid has torn through Australia this year, causing far more deaths than in 2020 or 2021 – and nearly all the deaths are in the vaccinated and boosted. Last week, the state of New South Wales reported only four of 75 deaths occurred in the unvaccinated, while 62 occurred in people who had received at least one booster.
… Now Australia has – quietly – all-but given up on Covid vaccines for most adults. In a late August report, the Australian government-run group that advises the government on vaccinations said healthy adults under 50 do not need a second Covid booster.
didn’t. DUH!
of fear. And worse, it is an irrational fear.
NEVER forget!
YOU can decide if those who pushed this were evil or just rubes. Go ahead and make that call. My own take on it is that most were just rubes.
Others were so personally narcissistic and rigid that they couldn’t change or even seriously entertain that maybe they are wrong.
Still others, driving the issue, were knowingly evil.
Again, these are not mutually exclusive categories. There are indeed “hybrid” versions–some mixture of fooled, willing dupes, rigid narcissism, and actual malice. And that is almost for sure the most common occurrence.
nothing short of revolting!
Since his ban, Berenson has not only been vindicated, but news surfaced that his silencing was the direct result of a request from the White House. [emphasis added]
Through sad experience, I have learned that you can’t fully trust government health edicts. I have life-long conditions because they squelched (or flat-out misrepresented) what the science said.
The Washington Post denounced a segment with Berenson on Tucker Carlson’s show as “dishonest and dangerous.” And in April 2021, The Atlantic profiled him as “The Pandemic’s Wrongest Man.” So when Twitter quietly reinstated him this month, it should have been heralded as a major vindication for Berenson, but outside of one article in The Atlantic, it was largely ignored by the same legacy media that had written him off as an extremist crank who was hurting the public.
And yes, I am a bit salty about that.
See, in the past it was indeed very bad, but the past is nothing compared to the COVID crapola. Not only did they lie (see Birx’s admission), but even now they keep lying (see above)! And they did it knowingly. It’s really hard not to read malice or at least rank, sheep-like ignorance into this.
I am naturally prone to take direction, and am in many ways an easy mark. But I realize now that I have been a fool, and that I have been materially damaged by this denial of science.
You know, it’s wise to be just a little bit skeptical of what you are being told by the government. And it is hard when their obfuscations are the very water you swim in. But always remember, their ultimate goal is to maintain power and riches, NOT your well-being!
A good example is when my 95-year-old+ grandfather-in-law (whom I loved) was told by his physician that he could no longer eat butter on his bread. He loved buttered bread, but was denied that for a couple of years before he died. He was given several rather disgusting substitutes for butter and he dutifully did what “the experts” told him. The end result was that for the last couple years of his life he would/could not eat his bread with butter on it.
How sad! Of course, we know now that the advice was total bull-crap, but we should have known then!
So don’t tell me that such anti-scientific pronouncements and squelching of inquiry are benign!
Oh, I’m salty about it, all right.
There is not one. So kwitcher infernal caterwauling about it!
Crok said the document’s main goal is to make clear that even if you accept most of the claims of the IPCC, that you can still conclude there is no climate emergency. In this respect, our WCD should be uncontroversial.”
