Covid-19 has proven to be a very discriminatory killer. While it can infect and sicken people of all ages, it is at its most deadly among the elderly. Throughout the world, the number of older people who have died from the disease far outnumber younger victims. Here in America, approximately 80 percent of the deaths have occurred among those aged 65 and older....In Italy, the numbers are even higher, as 90 percent of the deaths are among those 60 and older. Unsurprisingly, folks 65 and older die more frequently from all sorts of things... Since February of 2020, more young Americans have been killed by pneumonia or the flu although admittedly these data are only for this year.
And yet...politicians continue to follow policies that are based on the assumption that all of society must be sheltered because of risks, both direct and indirect, to the elderly. These policies have disproportionately impacted the young, and it’s not at all clear that these policies are effectively preventing further spread of the disease or keeping elderly people from risk: As older Americans self-isolate in senior living facilities or their homes, they are coming into less contact with their younger relatives and friends anyway. Multigenerational households appear to be those most at risk; however, these are also the households that rely on multiple members of the family working to survive. Preventing the young from working may be quite costly in terms of the potential trade-offs. Much of the economic hardship and destruction, social disruption, and public shaming has been directed conspicuously toward younger Americans. Younger Americans have seen their schools closed, any attempt to pursue their social lives publicly castigated and questioned, their jobs in the restaurant and retail sector vanish, and their graduations and transitions to living independently from their parents blocked....

Of course, if the young could stop off at CVS on the way home from working their bartending shift at the restaurant next to the downtown convention hall and pick up some OTC HCQ for grandma to bring to her when they visit her tomorrow and take her some groceries and other things she needs and replace the burned out light bulb in the hall....but, nah, I know, that's crazy talk.
Hers’s another crazy stat: Elderly people are more likely to die from ANY cause!
A disease designed to kill everyone at or near retirement age is a dream come true for socialists.
And generally unhealthy people. Most of us need to cut back a drop a few pounds at the least
Here it are a series of posters broken down by age groups to help dismiss the outright scare tactics used by MSM about Covid. Make sure you scroll through the first few tweets in this thread to see them all...

If someone can post them using html go ahead. They’re very good.
If the Left were smart and wanted to get younger voters to come out and vote for them, they would start a rumor that Trump pushed for the lockdowns so fewer seniors would die and thus more seniors, his voters, would survive to vote for him.
It’s possible the young are not affected because they have already acquired immunity via some other vaccination — such as the measles shot. Most older people didn’t receive that.
If so, then we don’t need another vaccine, because we already have one.
This needs investigating. This scourge had no eradication date in sight. No vaccine. How can anyone go about their day knowing it’s going to kill everyone they know, worse than Spanish Flue
In Washington state, 89% of our deaths were age 60 or older.
We have had ZERO fatalities in the age 19 and younger group.
