I post below that which I posted to another thread after another article this day. It allies equally to our discussion.

--- "More than 300 people are still dying each day on average from covid-19, most of them 65 or older, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...roughly two to three times the rate at which people die of the flu... Today, nearly 9 in 10 covid deaths are in people 65 or older — the highest rate ever, according to a Washington Post analysis of CDC data." A little simple arithmetic to place the prose into a manageable frame:
( "300 people are still dying each day" x 365 days in a year ) = 109,500 as a year's estimate per the CDC and Washington Post.
Worldometer tallies the US population at 335,665,703 as of today. About one percent per year die as is easily observed. ( 1.027 percent according to the CDC.)

( 335,665,703 US population x .01027 ) = 3,447,287 deaths per year in the US. Naturally, so to speak, from all causes. Placing the CDC/WaPo prose into the larger frame, then:
( 109,500 mostly elderly "Covid" deaths / 3,447,287 all-cause deaths ) x 100 = 3.18 percent Covid deaths estimated through "official" data and reporting.
Note the verbiage. "Plague of the elderly." Given the inadequacy of the tests, the reporting and the factors of rating co-morbidities, the larger picture suggests that some gaslighting is going on.
If 3.18 percent is a "plague," what is the remaining 96.82 percent? A mere mention in the article? Actually NO mention at all.
Given that "% of Population receiving at least 1 dose - 81.18%," then "the plague of the elderly" is likely ALSO a plague of the elderly who are injected with mRNA experimental therapies.

Therefore, the "plague of the elderly" must include about four out of five who have been injected with a "safe and effective" experimental mRNA therapy, making the "plague of the elderly" about 80 percent "safe and effective."
Effective at what, exactly?

CatHerd, as a PS to this, I add that there has NEVER been "informed consent" throughout this event, and none seems in the offing. As you said most aptly, "It's all nuts."
As the Lancet study showed, the vaccines stopped being effective at all in the elderly 120 days out:

So it’s no surprise they are dying of Omicron. It’s horrible and sad, but not a huge surprise.
The flu disproportionately kills the elderly, too:

There has been much argument about Covid death figures and about excess deaths. It’s all become so politicized that if somehow perfectly accurate figures could be produced with incontrovertible evidence to back them up, no one would believe them and everyone would just keep on arguing.
I am staunchly against mandates. I do not think anyone should be forced to get vaccinated, especially when the vaccine is issued under EUA rather than after the usual decade + testing. I think there are legitimate reasons to be concerned. I have not been vaccinated myself.
Contrary to a very vocal faction on FR, however, I don’t think the vaccines are “bio weapons” meant to kill us off.
