From the article:
“COVID-19 is not nearly as lethal as the media and government bureaucrats have continued to portray. The 11,280 who died directly from the virus doesn’t even make the top 10 of causes of yearly U.S. deaths.”
Current US COVID deaths stand at 197,896. Where is the author getting the 11,280 figure from? Also, the author is comparing deaths from COVID, which hasn’t even been in the US for nine months, with top *yearly* causes of death. You cannot compare apples to oranges.

“According to Regulator Watch, CDC employees have reportedly given 8,000 donations to Democrats compared to only five to Republicans.”
What about all those foreign leaders who are also encouraging their citizens to wear masks and restricting travel into their countries? Are they all Democratic stooges too? No other country politicizes COVID the way the US does. That could be why the US is the world’s #1 COVID petri dish. I’m sick of people injecting politics into everything. I am a conservative and I take COVID seriously. Wearing a mask and avoiding close contact with others does not magically turn me into a Biden supporter.
RE: Sweden deaths per 100,000 are almost identical with the U.S., despite Sweden having an older population.
However, I have yet to see somebody refute the argument pointing out that the other Scandinavian countries -— Norway, Finland, Denmark and even Iceland have MUCH LOWER deaths per 100,000 than Sweden has. These countries ALL had stringent lock downs.
I’m against mandates for closing businesses, BTW. Some kinds of businesses won’t see many customers with or without mandates anyway. But benefits from masks and vaccines are now common knowledge, and the majority of customers know it.
After reading some of their nonsense, I am almost tempted to prefer the communist loving Pope Francis.
While both groups are spouting nonsense, the church is dying for lack of people doing their job...preaching Jesus.
