And yet, as of today, three years into the "event" ---
( 6,705,769 Global Deaths / 7,944,245,374 Global Population ) x 100 = 0.0844 percent mortality rate.

If the "official" mortality rate is calculated on three years' running total, what would an annualized rate be? Less, to be sure.
The chance of living through Covid and whatever "long Covid" is may be seen as a "long shot." A mere 99.9156 percent survivable.
The CBS article states clearly, "Compared with COVID-19, relatively little is known about long COVID."
Let that sink in. "Relatively little" is known. So analyses and articles aplenty will prop up the narrative for this deadly or debilitating pestilence which is only 99.9156 percent survivable.
Long Covid? Long shot? How mnay shots? Safe and effective but long, longer and longest -- is the marketing.
>> 0.0844 percent mortality rate
And even that low number is overstated due to the sloppiness in attributing mortality to COVID (i.e. confusing “dying with COVID” and “dying from COVID”).
>> relatively little is known about long COVID.
No worries, for now “trust the (modeled) science”, and as we learn more we’ll incorporate the new information into our model, and diddle the coefficients to better fit what has already been observed while still maintaining the future projections we need to serve our agenda. Of course, in three years when our projections fail to match reality, we’ll need to lather, rinse, repeat...
The globalists have been doing this with climatism models for decades, they know the drill and can readily apply what they’ve learned about “modeling” and “projecting” to the covidism agenda as well.
ah yes, the old 99.91% survivable.
Tell that to the 1.1 million US dead, mostly grannies but a lot of moms and dads, too. (Thats 1 in 300 dead for the math impaired)
Out of 100 million US cases, (that’s 1 in 3 of us) we can guess/model/forecast (based on disability claims) about 10=15% are suffering from long covid who I bet can well debate the definition of ‘survivable’ as it relates to the quality of life. For someone who can’t work, or remember things, or walk without getting breathless, and whose income is reduced to disability payments, ‘survivable’ seems a rather dismissive cop-out, don’t you think?
