Again with the “99% recover”, which is easily proven to be totally false with a 1 second Google search.

I’m all for our side fighting this thing, but we need to be credible when we do so. And the “99% recovery” has never been true from day one.

We’d be much more credible if we actually acknowledged the real statistics (1.4% national CFR, higher in many states), and argued our positions from that point. Repeating stupid (and totally false, easily disproved) internet memes is not a winning strategy.

So you’re saying it’s not 99%, it’s 98.6? Is that right?

You are making the error of accepting the government statistics on COVID deaths at face value.

They base those statistics on the deception of classifying any death of a person infected with COVID as a COVID death. The virus itself likely has under a 1% fatality rate DUE to COVID, and that is at most.

—> 1.4% national CFR

Now subtract the 75% that had 4 comorbidities…

Now subtract ever death that was *with covid* but not caused by Covid.

I have no faith in covid stats. The powers that be have long conflated dying from covid and dying with covid. Also, states, hospitals & doctors are incentivized to assign covid to their patients. IMHO, it's impossible to get accurate covid stats.

You’re a f****** retard.

A Google search ... will result in an “opinion” returned, not a fact.

A 1.4% case fatality rate is a 98.6% recovery rate isn't it? I think we can forgive rounding it up to 99% for the sake of argument.

Yeah, because a Google search is such a good source of Covid information.

How many of those were “with Covid” instead of from Covid? How many from countries with massive incentives for and fudging of data? How many Covid diagnoses especially with the high-risk elderly were with untreated flu or pneumonia? How many of those high-death numbers come from countries where the official “protocol” was killing people needlessly?

Wake up and think.
