Generally, 85+ are loaded with comorbidities.
The desperate hope by folks that the virus is not killing people really can’t be fueled by the comorbidity game.
The issue is this. A diabetic 86 year old with high blood pressure was living life just fine until Covid arrived. Then blood oxygen began to fall and then cratered, and . . . dead.
It’s just not going to hold water to imagine the person who died that week was going to die that week anyway.
They typical 85 yr old has life expectancy of 6 years. The typical 85 yr old has comorbidities, but still 6 yrs. Covid chopped 5.9 years off.
“86 year old”
Mother died at 86 and a half on 1-3-22. Blood pressure medicine in 1990. Breast cancer in 98. Diagnosed with chronic leukemia in 04. Diabetes 2 about 17. Under regular treatments for these ailments she was relatively stable until a few months after her second COVID shot in Feb 21. Then starting not to feel well. Dad couldn’t get her to go some weeks for her cancer and/or leukemia shot.
But she became regular again. About three months after her third COVID shot, her largely kept in check leukemia went wild. Died 8 days after hospital admittance. Mom never caught COVID. Tested, always negative. Did the “vaccine” weaken and then cause her immune system to weaken and then collapse?
When diagnosed with leukemia in 04, Mom was told she could live with the condition 20 to 25 years. Made it 17. Would it have been 17 without the COVID shots? Maybe. I’m skeptical of the safety (and efficacy) of the vaccine. They’ll have to hold me down to get it in me. Will switch jobs if forced to.
Oh now the liberals are desperately trying to pivot. Oh, the CDC may have miscounted COVID deaths. Oh, some may have died WITH COVID and not FROM COVID. (Heard Rush Limbaugh say this in 20!) Oh, we’ll check again and see if the vaxx does something to a woman’s menustral cycle. Pfizer -Oh, we’re going to delay shots for 5 and under until we get more safety data. It’s all so disgusting! People have been used as guinea pigs! Lab rats!
