For the vast majority of the population, policy reactions to COVID have been extreme and caused more harm than they have prevented.
The median age in my state of Alabama is 38.6. Among the half of our population that would be considered “young” -- under the median age in our state -- COVID has posed no significant health risk. Per extrapolations from CDC statistics, 421 Alabamians under the age of 38.6 died from or with COVID over the past 22 months. This means the “youngest” 50 percent of Alabama’s population has accounted for just 2.6 percent of all COVID deaths (out of 16,133 total deaths). This also means the "oldest” segment of Alabama’s population accounted for 97.4 percent of all COVID deaths. On an annualized basis, among the “young” half, COVID was listed as the cause of death for approximately 240 Alabamians. Perhaps more easily understood, COVID “killed” 12 middle-aged or younger Alabamians each month in the first year of the pandemic.
Alabama has 67 counties so, on average, each county recorded 0.18 deaths/month among people under the age of 40 in a 12-month period. This means in most months most counties did not record a single death of a person under the age of 40.
One of the best contrarian COVID “metrics” shows the number of expected years lost by a given death. Basically, if a 22-year-old dies from COVID (which almost never happens), this person would have lost 58 years of his or her expected life (assuming a typical life expectancy of around 80 years.)
If there’s a “silver lining” to COVID, it’s the fact its victims skew so heavily toward the very old… that this disease has largely spared the young who have so much of their lives in front of them..

The leftist politicians viewed viewed the Chinese COVID release as an opportunity in their greedy grab for more power. They are the real threat to those they claim they are trying to protect.
They’re not trying to save us.
The herd is being culled....
The real objective behind ObamaScare.
Helps a few but not the majority.
To an old cynic like me, it’s been obvious from the start. It’s simply a matter of control. Some of us just might have to push back.
‘We are overwhelmed’: Steuben County records eight more COVID-related deaths
NYS's stats have been crap from the get-go. But this story really smells. I would love to see someone get some specifics out of that county health department on the nature of the cases, the vaxx status of all, the specific causes of deaths for the dead...
I smell a COVID-related rat.
This thing will never end.
“Fully-vaccinated” will be a goal post on rolling wheels. It already is.

How “Soylent Green” of the author.
Now get on the cart!
Oh, it’ll end.
If and when we stop complying.
“Oh, it’ll end.
If and when we stop complying.”
This is the only way it will be over.
