The official U.S. COVID-19 death toll is approaching 150,000, twice the number of flu deaths in 2017-2018. At least 73 percent of those who are listed as “total deaths” died with the virus not because of it. Nonetheless, our country has been frightened into draconian measures to combat COVID-19, viewing it more like Ebola than what it truly is: a respiratory virus that primarily attacks those with life-threatening pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic lung disease, and/or immune deficiency.
The death rate from COVID-19 has been reported as 3.5 percent, implying that at least three out of 100 Americans who become infected will die. This is false.
A percentage is a ratio, numerator divided by denominator. The 3.5 percent is calculated as 145,982 “total deaths” divided by 4,163,892 “total cases.” However, total cases include only those tested, and tests are offered only to those who are symptomatic. When this author, age 76 years young, went to get a COVID test, I was turned away because I was not symptomatic.
A population study in Santa Clara, California of healthy volunteers suggested that the actual case rate may be 50-85 times greater than the reported total cases. Using 208,199,100 (50 times 4,163,892) as the denominator case rate, the death risk for the general population becomes 0.07 percent, that is, seven out of 10,000 healthy Americans will die with COVID infection, just like the flu.
A human body protects itself against viral infection by developing an immune defense: antibodies, attack cells, and often both. Those who do not become ill when infected with a virus, any virus, either (a) have prompt and highly effective immune response, and/or (b) are healthy persons, that is, they do not have serious pre-existing medical condition that predisposes them to illness and death.

BOTTOM LINE:
The official narrative about COVID-19 has two fundamental contradictions. Americans deserve to have these inconsistencies resolved based on well-vetted medical evidence rather than to fit some political ideology or agenda.
Inconsistency #1: Why has the risk of death due to COVID-19 infection has been inflated to resemble Ebola or bubonic plague when in fact, the health risk is closer to the seasonal flu? Based on the official false narrative, states have shut down their economies, and the country has suppressed the development of national herd immunity.
Inconsistency #2: Does infection, natural or artificial, i.e., by vaccination, confer lasting immunity, or not? If it does not, why did the U.S. just spend $1.95 billion on a vaccine that won’t protect us?
Inconsistency #1 and #2 can be explained by
Excessive greed and desire for control.
Face it, this is a plandemic, to get rid of Trump.
They won’t let you try a 20 dollar, 5-day course of a commonly prescribed anti-malarial medicine - but they’ll let your 14-year-old daughter buy contraceptives all day long, though...
"but they’ll let your 14-year-old daughter buy contraceptives all day long, though.." - and won't tell you about it !
I cannot understand why Trump will not bring on real experts to refute these bogus numbers, but he will not.
I’m just waiting for him to bring Fauci and Birx out to the covid briefings once again singing their praises. The covid briefings are a joke!
That's possible when case numners are small, e.g. the 1000 cases at the time of the study. It doesn't apply to large populations. 4,000,000 cases does not mean that 200,000,000 people have been exposed. In NYC, when about 2.5% of rhe population were "cases", 25% of the population had antibodies. Even that depended on the population size.
So his idea is correct but his numbers are not. Using NYC, we could say 40,000,000 people have been exposed as a far upper bound, making the fatality ratio about 0.3%
And it also explains why Governor Fredo is out there determining what constitutes a meal , in order for something to be considered a restaurant or a bar
Lol !
I knew the stark contrast between the Democrats and the Republicans in terms of lockdowns would be dramatic but I had no idea they were going to try to drag it out this long
Two words: Big Pharma.
There are untold billions to be made with an “approved” Covid-19 vaccine and BP is NOT going to allow a common, inexpensive drug ace them out of it.
This also explains the absolutely apoplectic response to yesterday's Front Line Doctors' pro-hydrochloroquine press briefing.
I also read an article last week talking about Covid testing, and how it's nothing but a scheme to peel money off the government, AND US.
Since you don't get timely results, its only use is to line the pockets of the testers.
It’s ALL LIES. They mixed non-related deaths into the death count, and they mixed false positives and non-test positives into the “cases” count. Therefore, ALL BULLCRAP, ALL LIES, not to be believed except by dupes, polyannas, and willing conspirators.
I concur. It really only hurts dems, many of the union faithful near me are Trump supporters.
