Two years ago NPR would be receiving their ban notice from FB.

What mendacious clowns leftists are.

Deaths FROM covid indicate a considerably lower death rate than from influenza. Now for deaths WITH covid - hard to say.

We were right all along and they will deny it.

It always was less deadly than the flu, just look at the lack of child-deaths.

Very late to acknowledge the obvious, but better than never I suppose.

It sounds like Dr. Shira Doron just ended his or her career with statements of fact like that.

The “from” versus “with” COVID argument has been going on here and elsewhere for well over two full years as well as the observations that estimates of deaths from COVID are wildly exaggerated. Those on FR were well ahead of that curve.

Proves that closing the schools was the wrong move. There was no risk for the students. Maybe it could be argued that the older teachers were at risk but even if so a solution could have been tailored to them rather than a broad shutdown.

Once defeating Trump became the focus, the definition of “death FROM Covid” kept expanding and expanding.

All this means is that each flu season will soon be met with warnings that this year’s flu is “deadlier than COVID.” The remedy, of course, will still be masking, school closures and ad hoc shutdowns. Because arbitrary power is addictive.

Well....duh.

But, of course, the real purpose of CV-19 was always to get rid of Trump and make the population more complaint to authoritian dictates.

[[The debate over COVID’s mortality rate hinges on what counts as a COVID death]]

The scum counted many deaths as “dying FROM covid” that should,never have been counted. And they sued those numbers to scare folks into getting the vaccines.

“Currently, the COVID death definition includes anyone who has COVID listed as a cause of death on their death certificate, and any individual who has had a COVID-19 diagnosis within 60 days but does not have COVID listed as a cause of death on their death certificate”

Early in the pandemic, and absent clear national guidance, DPH matched COVID-19 surveillance case information with death certificates to identify deaths in people who tested positive for the virus but did not have COVID listed as a cause of death. To avoid the possibility of missing any COVID-associated death, anyone who tested positive for COVID and died was counted as a COVID-associated death regardless of the length of time between their diagnosis and their death or whether COVID was listed as the cause on their death certificate. “

Bait and switch. They know people are on to them with the killer Covid shot so now they’re going to put the DNA modifier clotting agent into the flu shot serum. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

covid is dangerous to people with autoimmune or chronic diseases because their innate immune systems have been severely weakened.

They might have to reassess how risky it EVER was.

It seemed somewhat bad at first, but within the year I myself find out how dubious the numbers are, so that we may even now be overrating the case fatality rate.

To me, it’s mostly yet another example of communist Dems spouting a false premise - in this case, that COVID-19 IS THE WORST EVER!!!!

At its peak it was slightly more risky than the flu
Of course, locking people down made it worse.
Sort of like incubating germs in a petri dish.

“…some say it’s now less risky than flu…”

Some have been blasted mercilessly right here for even suggesting such an idea - based on their OWN experience with the virus..

Well, the media is finally starting to admit their failure with a meeting of the ways. This entry by NPR is a real game changer...but it isn’t. It is nothing more than trying to save face. The liberals have used this attack of a bio weapon put out by China because the US was kicking both their keysters thanks to Trump, so the liberals used it as a tool for political purposes. “Never let a crisis go to waste”

So now it is time to turn off the sky is falling attitude, and, of course, that Trump’s fault, so they are trying to smooth the way by bringing down the level of fear they created and are starting the victory dance right before the midterm. (What a shock)

Covid is not like flu, it is a flu. And because of the genetic engineering, it is a strong one like bubonic. None of this was an accident. Covid doesn’t kill you, it makes you sick so some other thing does. Hence the death rate among aged and ill. And if it was that accomplished, then according to John Hopkins, why is there less than 2% of the people who contract the virus die from its complications? And that includes auto accidents and gun shots blamed for it.

Look at the facts:

Both COVID-19 and flu can result in complications, including:

Pneumonia
Respiratory failure
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (fluid in the lungs)
Sepsis (a life-threatening illness caused by the body’s extreme response to an infection)
Cardiac injury (for example, heart attacks and stroke)
Multiple-organ failure (respiratory failure, kidney failure, shock)
Worsening of chronic medical conditions (involving the lungs, heart, or nervous system or diabetes)
Inflammation of the heart, brain, or muscle tissues
Secondary infections (bacterial or fungal infections that can occur in people who have already been infected with flu or COVID-19)

Differences:

Most people who get flu will recover on their own in a few days to two weeks, but some people will experience severe complications, requiring hospitalization. Some of these complications are listed above. Secondary bacterial infections are more common with influenza than with COVID-19.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm#:~:text=While%20the%20virus%20that%20causes,more%20superspreading%20events%20than%20flu.

When it is considered that each strand of flu coming through your area is treated by time and the body doing its work, and that no vaccine can kill the flu, then there is no difference between the other flus and this one other than it has been engineered to spread and do what flu does. Thousands are killed annually by the flu. In Obama’s last year of his administration the overall burden of influenza for the 2015-2016 season was an estimated 24 million influenza illnesses, 11 million influenza-associated medical visits, 280,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, and 23,000 flu-associated deaths. And that is with a naturally generated illness with no extras added to hype covid like the HIV that was added to it from the Canadian lab where it was stolen.

Is it now time to actually look at the facts? It is if the liberals and their attack dog media are going to get out of their lies gracefully with giving the sheep other crisis to mull over while covid fades into history with a future no worse than the bubonic plague.

And this is the CDC talking, not me. I’m not capable of erasing facts like liberals do.

Have we started to debate how lethal scientists have been in the last 2+ years?

How morally corrupt big medicine and big pharma is..

And how their partnership with tyrants in govt didn’t promote life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness..
