I say it’s /because/ of the vaccines

[AndyTheBear]

Typical flu years average 500 to 1000 deaths per week over the whole year (including months that are not flu heavy).

However since the Covid-19 hysteria has been pushed, this is way way down, because the normal flu deaths are being renamed covid-19 deaths.

Basic reality is that the virus behind covid-19 is ubiquitous now just like all the other viruses that give us colds and flu. Its nothing more or less remarkable at this point then the others--apart from our disastrous and very very stupid over reaction to it.

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Fake news.

[revivaljoe]

I do 10000 D3

[yldstrk]

Prove it.

[yldstrk]

It ain’t a vaccination. It is some kind of bizzare experimental shot.

[yldstrk]

Perhaps because the COVID bonus payments to hospitals is still in effect??
*********
Bingo! Because it is to someone’s political advantage to claim cause of death was covid.

[yldstrk]

How many jabs have u had?
********
None, praise God, despite the most intense pressure.

I went into our local Walmart pharmacy recently, to get my usual medicine. Surprisingly, the technician asked if I had my flu shot, but not my Covid shot! I guess they must not be as worried about it as they once were, for her to only ask if I had received the flu shot!

Probably one of the deadliest drugs ever used

[OKSooner]

The Pusher was one of Hoyt's songs?

I didn't know that.

[BereanBrain]

so, some technician at the pharmacy is now an expert?

[Inspectorette]

I had minor surgery last month and wasn’t even asked during the online check-in whether I was vaxxed for Covid. The word “Covid” was never even mentioned by the surgeon, anesthesiologist, or any of the nurses at any time. They didn’t ask whether I’d had a flu shot either.

Yes, it’s pretty interesting the stuff he wrote that was recorded by so many others.

I don’t remember where I sourced this, so I could be wrong but I recall Gregg Allman saying an interview that Hoyt Axton is the guy who taught him how to write songs

[dsutah]

Right! I didn’t have to wear a mask when I went to my doctor’s appointment in the late Summer, either. They suggested I get shots for Pneumonia, Flu, Shingles, and yes, Covid, but they didn’t insist on it (Covid) only!
