The biggest risk factor for all COVID deaths has been age, plus physical fragility from one or another of our “mundane” afflictions, including diabetes and obesity. The vast majority of people who have died from COVID are over 75 years old.

That leaves few probable COVID deaths within the under-75-year-old, healthy demographic, although we don’t know the real number, because we’re not meant to know. If we knew, we might stop panicking, stop vaccinating, and live our lives normally. Remember that kind of life?

We have our American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association, but no COVID association. The two associations act as clearinghouses for data and fundraisers for research. The US government doesn’t direct them. Within both diseases, we’ve therefore made great strides in improving treatment, life expectancy, and quality of life. That is the aim—and there’s an open dialog, for the most part, within the scientific community as we go about achieving it. The system’s not perfect, but it’s way better than government-directed tyranny.

We have been “fighting cancer” for one hundred years.

Success is when you win short wars, not when you fight endless ones.

“Science” has proven outstanding at separating fools from their money.
