COVID flies on 'instruments'?

New study says the infection fatality ratio of the “deadly virus” has fallen from 3.4% to 0.15%…that’s plummeting 95% in less than a year
With every new study, with every new paper, the “deadly” pandemic gets less and less, well, deadly. The most recent data review, published in late March, puts the infection fatality ratio (IFR) at 0.15%.
That is, once again, pretty much the same as a normal flu season.
The new paper is the work of Dr John Ioannidis, whom you likely remember. He is an eminent epidemiologist and statistician who publicly urged the need for “good data” last spring.
Do you remember last spring? The blissful days of never having even heard of “infection fatality ratio”? (I do. Fondly.)
The phrase really rose to prominence last year, after the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the IFR of the scary new virus was 3.4%.
This is not, in and of itself, especially high. But it is significantly higher than most cold/flu viruses.
Around the same time, somebody (or multiple somebodies) actually edited the Wikipedia page of the Spanish Flu, to change its IFR and make it seem like Covid was just as dangerous. Who did this remains a mystery, although why has become fairly obvious.
At the time, many experts (such as those listed in our 12 Experts article) predicted the actual IFR of “Covid” would be much, much lower than the WHO’s estimate, and that this would become clear as new data were gathered...

I got my first Morderna shot this week. I feel fine.
Good for you. I suspect I will get more replies from people who have survived the shot than from those who have not.
One answer is better treatments. I have four high risk relatives that received anti-body treatments. That alone saved at least one of their lives.
John Ioannidis is a contemptible depraved liar. .4% of NYC already died of Covid. How can the IFR be .15% ? he really is scum.
You could drop an nuke on NYC and I wouldn’t give a damn.
LOL!!!!!!!
People should certainly do what they want. Take vaccine or not. It should never be made mandatory.
That said the vaccine info is very clear. Countries who have vaccinated the best show excellent reduction in cases and more importantly hospitalizations/deaths.
I have made hundreds of visits in hospital on covid patients on both medical wards and covid icu.
Yup. We are learning. We have targeted treatments that actually work with more coming on line all the time. We have a vigorous vaccination program. Things are coming under control which is remarkable did a virus we only have about a years experience with
You have all the leaders acting like it’s going up. And fauci saying we are all dying.

It dropped 95% because the numbers were BS to begin with.
You can’t use mortality rates against tested positive cases when the positive cases don’t represent who may or may not have a disease and with a false positive rate that’s deeply flawed.
< 90% chance of survival with mRNA therapy.
Yo - Kozy - it’s just the Flu, Bro.
Come out from under the bed and take a free breath or two.
Yes, the non-survivors are very lax about posting.
Its possible they stopped counting people who died in accidents as dying from COVID. Or they are getting ready for the next fake pandemic
Good for you. The feds really appreciate how compliant and conditioned you are! So deep is your conditioning that you’ve shared your private health information with freedom loving conservatives on a messageboard. Strike you as odd at all?
I got my first Morderna shot this week. I feel fine.

Yet others are paralyzed, got COVID anyway, died, had blood clots, strokes, etc. Maybe the right word is, you got lucky for now. Who knows what the future holds.
If the death rate is so low, then how come 500,000 more people died last year in the US than any year previous?
Bolsonaro isn’t a globalist/Schwab supporter. Remember...this is a “global”pandemic...there will be no exceptions comrade.
