It turns out that, if you doubted COVID’s deadliness, you were correct
American Thinker ^ | 11 Jan, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 01/11/2022 4:39:39 AM PST by MtnClimber

For leftists reveling in smug fear about COVID, the CDC director Rochelle Walensky had some very bad news.

Something peculiar has become clear over the last two years: Leftists seem to enjoy the COVID panic. For them, it started with the camaraderie of lockdowns and morphed in the smug self-righteousness of the masks and vaccinations, all made shiveringly delicious with that soupçon of fear that pairs well with totalitarian mandates. CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky’s appearance on Monday’s Good Morning America, however, may destroy that delightful emotional castle in which leftists have immured themselves. It turns out that most vaccinated people no longer need fear imminent death.

It’s been very weird for those of us who have maintained some degree of objectivity about the whole COVID uproar to see leftists maintain their high degree of terror about COVID despite their being vaccinated and boosted. JP Sears perfectly captures the illogical combination of fear and the lust for power that has seen the leftists ramp up their paranoia even as Omicron proves to be innocuous and they’re madly injecting mRNA treatments into their bodies:

However, it’s going to be very hard for them to maintain both the panic and that undeserved power they’re exerting over others. Walensky has acknowledged that, when it comes to vaccinated people who still died from COVID, almost 80% of them had one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana peel:

“The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities. So, really, these are people who were unwell to begin with. And yes, really encouraging news in the context of Omicron; this means not only just to get your primary series but to get your booster series. And yes, we’re really encouraged by these results.”

He's high if he thinks any of this means anything to Leftists: what he's essentially saying is, if you don't have four or more comorbidities, you're probably fine. The Leftist response is, "Well I have five, so back into your house you go!!"

Remember, Leftists are victims. They GLORY in having something wrong with them. Over on Reddit, whole subreddits are devoted to various ills and conditions, and to a Leftist, it's a mark of delicate aristocracy to have special needs, unusual disabilities, a couple of genetic conditions, a few allergies, a mental illness or two... they love to list them to anyone who will listen.

They don't consider it something to be overcome. They consider it a badge that warns others to treat them with deference and care. The more illnesses and problems you have, the more attention and concern you attract. A disease that only strikes down these delicate souls is the most delicious horror they've ever had. They are NOT ready to let it go.

Self-deluded people prefer to stay that way.

Wish I knew how to post a sign…but it says,
“Too many people want this virus to be something it’s not; an actual threat that validates the way they’ve behaved and the trauma they put themselves and their kids through. Most people would rather continue living the lie than admit they were lied to. “
I’d add, admit they were so gullible.

Do they dare to do this same study for the unvaxxed?

Some of us were attacked for pointing out the young fat ones who died of covid were fat.

Yep. It’s easier to fool someone than to convince them they’ve been fooled.

“Leftists seem to enjoy the COVID panic.”

It gave them cover to let their inner totalitarian out. It is always there, just looking for a reason to emerge and oppress people.

The Founders gave us the Constitution we have to help the new nation keep these types at bay. I wish they had understood human nature even better and put caps on the total number of years a person could be president or a Congressional representative or senator.

Once Fauci kills off people with comorbitities, the Democrats can try to do ObamaCare again.

...he's essentially saying is, if you don't have four or more comorbidities, you're probably fine...

If you're vaccinated.

Pretty much what they've always said.

Delta Covid is deadly . Omicron is not. But if Impimp wants to take a victory lap after 800 thousand deaths from delta, fine.

— “The stats have always been crap. ALL of them.”

Agreed. Else the following is true-ish:

As of 2 January 2022 (JHU):

For the world:

( 5,440,715 “global deaths) / 7,917,528,778 global population ) x 100 = 0.0687%

Less than seven one-hunredths of one percent “global deaths” from Covid over two years.

If that tiny percentage — many time smaller than the “official” percentages in Europe, which are a couple of times smaller than the “official” US stats — then there was NEVER a cause for alarm as the media ginned up with the collusion of the military-medical complex.

So, Mr. mewzilla, your assessment is very correct.

One FReeper, in a set of exchanges, extolled some more obscure “data” analysis. When I read into it, the entity actually replaced JHU sorts of data with their own “estimates” because they stated the counts were not high enough. The BS surrounding data and analysis has been a storm of pomposity and fraud. I will continue to post as above, as examples of how small this large “event” REALLY is. Except in the media and pharmaceuticals’ BS, where the fingerprints of the WEF and Gates Foundation are sponsors.

800K from Delta? Just Delta? Not Alpha or Beta, too? Just Delta?

Simple 2020 C logic
create covid via GOF (with chinese assistance)
close schools
close businesses
create panic
change election laws because of panic
cheat in the election
claim that a cadaver from a basement won
cancel opposition
communistic changes

continue on to the 2022 O logic
OMG it’s omichron from GOF release in SA
close scho.......

ad nauseum

Succinct. Tells the tale. Personally I think the con began earlier than 2020. But the economic tragedy of lockdowns has been a first, as whole nations essentially attacked their own peoples. Under the guidance of frauds and Leftist “SAGE” sorts of exaggerated models and loony advice.
