In the two years since all this nonsense started, I have seen NOTHING to indicate that this is true

I've been practicing Infectious Diseases medicine for 41 years. That's 42 "flu seasons".

In peak flu season, the average number of patients in my practice with hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring a ventilator on any given day is 0-1. For the three weeks before, during, and after 1/15/22, those numbers were 12, 19, and 14.

Believe what you want, 19 ventilated and contagious patients are enough to leave a memory on staff for years.

For the three weeks before, during, and after 1/15/22, those numbers were 12, 19, and 14.

OK, and what were those numbers for the weeks following 1/15/20, and 1/15/21? And, more importantly, can you say, without a doubt, that the cause of these numbers is COVID?

Yes, I do not doubt that COVID is serious. I have known many people that had it and recovered. They did not think it was unserious. My two main problems:

1. The people who funded the gain of function research are the heros. The Chinese who shut down internal travel, allowed international travel and hindered the investigations into the causes are not to be discussed online or you will get banned. The WHO has covered for the Chinese. AND those who don't want their businesses destroyed are the bad guys.

2. The government response has been worse than the problem. The shutdowns and controls may bring us closer to a communist "utopia", but it does not seem to affect the COVID spread. If people think COVID is bad, wait until they see what communism looks like.
