How many people do you think would have died if the country didn't take measures to mitigate?
Spare me that lame question please!
Rush was dismissing this today-somewhat
less than reported as alot of it is fake.
look at sweden; a fraction of the projected deaths and they essentially went about life as normal.
Bingo!
He has been go-to for cv new for a few months now.
maybe the first 4:00 (but whatever)
Too late.
It's a fair question to those who say the original estimate, which assumed no mitigation measures, was wrong.
Not a single “professional “ statement or prediction has come true.
Y2k/virus/hoax
The death penalty for those behind this scam is appropriate
It’s because they’re white!!
MAKE IT VIRAL !!!
Ping to #22.
Who should our decision makers look to for advice and expertise if not the people trained in these fields?
Trump, Xi, Johnson, Merkel, Macron, etc., etc. all have to make public policy decisions.
Who should they listen to?
Perhaps you didn’t pay close attention as she most certainly does discuss the jail time and exactly what lead up to it. It revolves around Fauci the fraud. Maybe watch again and you’ll see.
Im worried about Trump. He is either under their control or worse.
We would see less deaths from influenza if more people got vaccinated. During the 2017–18 season only 37.1% of the US population were vaccinated. In any given year no more than around 43% of the population are vaccinated for influenza. IIRC it takes about 60% to 75% vaccination rate to achieve herd immunity for influenza.
No, the influenza vaccine is not 100% effective in all people and the efficacy does vary from year to year depending on how accurate they were a predicting the dominate strains in any given year, but in most cases it still protects more than it doesn’t and can actually reduce the severity if one who was vaccinated does become ill if by a similar strain.
But the key point is that some people can’t be vaccinated because of allergies or because they are too young or are old or otherwise immune suppressed. It is because of them that we should, if we can, get vaccinated or at minimum self-quarantine.
We’d also see less influenza deaths if people used common sense like staying the Hell home when sick, and most especially staying away from places like nursing homes, etc., more frequent and thorough hand washing like the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us (not that I haven’t been washing my hands like this for years), and during peak flu season, yes even wearing masks in public spaces if symptomatic and must go out to prevent spread and if vulnerable and or unable to be vaccinated to prevent catching it.
The same number that have died with mitigation. First even the lockdown proponents admit it doesn’t save lives they just want to flatten the curve or some such nonsense. Once a contagious virus is widespread in the community those who are going to get it will get it. It certainly can’t be stopped by wearing masks and ruining the economy. Secondly please tell me how you will get 2 million deaths in the US when there arent 2 million cases worldwide and the death rate less than 1%? Please. we have been played
you’re a fool
Yup. For weeks I have been sending him notes that Fauci & Company are not to be trusted. He keeps them around anyhow. In my next note to him, I will use this salutation and message: “Dear President Fauci. congratulations on your Art of the Deal, hoodwinking Mr Trump.”
Who should they listen to? not “experts” as defined by our media. Good grief simpleton, the ecmxperts claims about global warming are all the evidence I need but many of us could go on for hours how experts are no more than paid propagandist shills.
