But look at how HARD they had to “go look” for their examples! One person in Israel, One person the UK, two here, two there.

I hate to be the one to spoil the party... but cancer and heart disease are NOT CONTAGIOUS, so citing them does nothing to assuage anyone.

TB is infectious.

Each year about 350 people in Britain die from TB (HPA1).

I'm still trying to figure out how they can tell Delta from Omicron

I'm still trying to figure out how Joey Biden can tell his demented head from his flatulent arse.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but one's risk of both cancer and heart disease are dependent on your behavior and the environment around you. Some kinds of cancer are closely correlated with exposure to certain viruses. That's why there is a vaccine for HPV.

Some of the people who are very afraid of catching COVID-19 apparently aren't afraid of heart disease or cancer since their health choices put them at high risk for those illnesses.

Probably used to pad Covid deaths at this point.

I think it's relevant. Contagion isn't the only factor to pay attention to when evaluating a hazard. It's just one of many ways that hazards reach a population. For example, there's general prevalence in the marketplace.

We don't outlaw every kind of food that might be carcinogenic in some people--for example, iron-rich foods, which are carcinogens in people with a blood defect called hemochromatosis. We let food producers advertise steak and lamb without restrictions or warnings. We figure consumers who would be at risk can look after that hazard themselves by managing what they eat.

We don't outlaw running machines or outdoor tracks or hiking trails--even though countless people have gotten heart attacks and died while using them.

The restraint on such public restraints is how much damage is caused by some state diktat that won't prove more burdensome and hazardous than the hazard itself.

A conspiracy theory is just something the government says isn’t so.

"Omicron does not have a 100% survival rate"

Notice that Reuters does not report the actual survival rate, since it is almost 100%. This is spin.

I would like to see how Omicron mortality compares to the regular flu.

Being born has a 100% death rate...eventually.

The horror, the horror!

There are people who claim that eating a chicken nugget has a 100% survival rate, but this is not true either.

The number of deaths are probably similar in both cases.

“how they can tell Delta from Omicron”

They give lab technicians magic wands—that is how “science” is done these days...

May I suggest learning some mathematics, particularly limits.

This might be a new bioweapon aimed at the ace 2 receptors and targeting the healthy unvaxed population. I pray that isn’t the case but Biden just threatened the unvaxed the other day. I’m healthy and I’m in my forties and have been on the Zelenko protocol and I never get sick but this has hit me so color me skeptical. Let’s pray this is God’s Christmas gift to mankind like some are saying. Never get too complacent though. These are evil maniacs we are dealing with and they want us culled. They have to come up with something to get rid of the unvaxed aka control group.

Life doesn’t have a 100% survival rate. Why isn’t fauxnocchio addressing that and demanding distancing? Tony gotta go!
