The United States has surpassed the sobering milestone of 750,000 COVID-19 deaths despite the widespread availability of vaccines.

According to Johns Hopkins University’s official count, the U.S. had 750,431 confirmed deaths due to the coronavirus as of Thursday morning. The U.S. has had over 46 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.

The U.S. reached 700,000 COVID-19 deaths - another staggering figure highlighting the severity of the pandemic on Americans - just a month ago.

These numbers need to be audited.

I've been waiting for some time for

THE GRIM MILESTONE

That bit of silly hyperbole has been missing from the narrative since last November.

I wonder why...?

Those numbers are totally meaningless to me. No, worse. I discount them completely.

If they were meaningless, I would ignore them or view them with a degree of impartiality. I certainly don’t view them in that light. They were, and are being wielded as a political cudgel in the service of an ideology that wishes to destroy our Republic.

Also, I just read an article yesterday that said the Italian COVID death rates early on were vastly over-hyped.

This is not to say people didn’t die of COVID. They did. But they also died of influenza, pneumonia, heart disease, cancer...

$100 says the real number is less than 10% of this fictitious death count.

I personally witnessed 2 people die of COVID. One was driving a truck and COVID gave him a heart attack and he swerved into oncoming traffic and hit a Motorcycle Head On!!

BOTH of them Officially Does of COVID!!!

Italy recently revised their definition of COVID death from “died with COVID” to “died from COVID.” This change reduced the COVID death toll for Italy by 97%.

Road apples. Our ratio of actual COVID casualties to trumped-up casualties probably resembles that of Italy.

“750000”

If memory serves, the count was 350000 in 2020. In spite of all the lockdowns, the mandates, and the vaccinations, the death rate hasn’t seemed to improve at all. If anything, it’s gotten worse. How can that be? It’s almost as if these measures were ineffective.

Let’s do some math:

prox 330,000,000 = population of USA 330 million

10 %==33,000,000 33 million

1% == 3,300,000

1/10th of 1%== 330,000 330,000 thousand

750,000 == prox 2.27% of 1% of USA population.

Chances of surviving are VERY HIGH.

UNLESS you are in a nursing home in New York State under Cuomo.

Interesting that not many seem to care that’s just about the same number of people killed by Planned Parenthood over the same period.

This is nonsense. It really comes down to this sort of thinking:

Yet, we’ve done nothing to China for killing our people. Oh, wait, it wasn’t exactly China but us through Gates and Fauxi who have remained untouchable.

The CDC and it’s only 6% of that number died from Covid - the rest died with Covid.

All dying “with Covid”...?
