KFF Health News — The Covid-19 pandemic would be a wake-up call for America, advocates for the elderly predicted: incontrovertible proof that the nation wasn’t doing enough to care for vulnerable older adults.
The death toll was shocking, as were reports of chaos in nursing homes and seniors suffering from isolation, depression, untreated illness, and neglect. Around 900,000 older adults have died of Covid-19 to date, accounting for 3 of every 4 Americans who have perished in the pandemic.
But decisive actions that advocates had hoped for haven’t materialized. Today, most people — and government officials — appear to accept Covid as a part of ordinary life. Many seniors at high risk aren’t getting antiviral therapies for Covid, and most older adults in nursing homes aren’t getting updated vaccines. Efforts to strengthen care quality in nursing homes and assisted living centers have stalled amid debate over costs and the availability of staff. And only a small percentage of people are masking or taking other precautions in public despite a new wave of covid, flu, and respiratory syncytial virus infections hospitalizing and killing seniors.

Of course we don’t care , not since 1/21/21. Biden in debate , October 2020, quoting New England Journal of Medicine: “nobody who has had 220,000 deaths deserves to be President. “ How long ago did it pass 1 million?
They were given ‘priority’ for the Covid ‘vaccine’. Now deaths from myocarditis, stroke etc. adverse events related to the vax can be called ‘covid.’
Say, is it time to break down and LET THEM HAVE IVERMECTIN, HCQ, or use Zelenko protocols among the many successful protocols?
Maybe it’s time to stop using organ killing Remdesivere? What about halting Midazolam?
Sorry to say Paxlovid does not help them - maybe stop givng them that, because of Paxlovid’s side effects?
PS: I know technically some areas now allow Ivermectin, but a FReeper found out when spouse became ill that ‘somehow’ the doctor’s office never called in the Ivermectin. See? They can still prevent it’s use indirectly. Healthy spouse hounded the dr’s office to get the prescription and eventually Doc wrote a prescription for something else. No ivermectin, except it was verbally granted in the medical visit. Doc didn’t mean it.
I’m more concerned about Americans being killed by illegals.
“Do we not care anymore?” If it means mail-in ballots, and stolen elections, then NO.
As the CDC says, “deaths associated with COVID” or “deaths involving COVID”. I search in vain to find where the CDC says “deaths due to COVID”.
How many of those were jabbed 1 or 2 times and also had boosters 1, 2, 3 ???
Wait, what? I thought the vax and 12 boosters solved this problem for everyone. Was I wrong?
Depends on your definition of the problem.
If the problem is the amount of money paid to retired US citizen Social Security recipients, perhaps it’s working.
Is biden dead? Then I don’t care.
When the pharmaceutical industry, medical community, federal health authorities, etc. end all subsidies and bounty fees on covid coded patients (and higher winnings on covid deaths, whatever amounts remain from that catastrophic plan), and the numbers dying from covid Will gradually or abruptly end as well. IMHO
Perverse incentives breed more perversions.
If they get Covid there is simply no reason, unless it is medically contraindicated to some other condition, not to let them try the ivermectin and zinc protocols. The wait and see approach is totally unethical.
Bingo.
People died before, during, and after Covid.
In fact, I would argue, and I have reason to believe such (my mother had cancer in that time period and passed away), that how we dealt with Covid killed more people than it helped.
You saw delays in health care for people with heart and cancer conditions, delays in diagnostics, lack of true mental health services as they attempted to do things virtually which didn’t really work all that well, people being turned away from hospital ERs for many conditions... It was a horrible mess created by political/bureaucratic meddling.
The only winners were big pharma that made so much money they actually began hiding their profits out of fear for public outrage. The Democrats who exploited this for the elections. A bunch of government clowns that pretended to have all the answers and saw their powers and budget increase. Finally, the media and some pundits that saw an interest in the junk they peddle and the bobbleheads which got their 15 minutes of fame. But “America” lost.
Oh...and the clintons. Die seniors die!
Actually it was meant to solve the problem of in-person voting with identification, and it succeeded spectacularly with that goal. The Chicago way is now better named the Democrat way.
Not me. I did not take the shot, nor will I take any shots going forward. I do not trust our government.
You didn’t ‘care’ before. You forced them out of hospitals and into vaccine incubation cages (group/nursing/rest homes) where newly vaxxined rabbits could INFECT and RE-INFECT other elderly people. Murderer Cuomo did that; other government weasels did it too.
Why are you now again so concerned? Because November 2024 is coming up? Take your ‘concern’ and shove it right up your.......

What a surprise. People die. Worthy of headlines.
My deceased, non-jabbed father-in-law made it to 96. His favorite joke was, "everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go today." I am at that "life expectancy" and un-jabbed. Feel fine, so CNN is not effective selling fear. But it continues to try.
Best I can tell, CNN is learning about its life expectancy.

Their official treatment was forced intubation and an expensive pharma-approved Remdesivir. It was also the easiest treatment regimen that go no flak from the government and which got the highest payout from the government.
They have to sedate you when you’re intubated because the body naturally and would continually try to reject it if you were awake. It’s a brutal and hostile intrusion into the body that disrupts every part of breathing normally.
Unvaxed, I am just recovering from a bout of Covid. The worst parts were the terrible sore throat, deep chest congestion and cough. It’s been three weeks. A z-pac is killing the bronchitis off. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Not pleasant.
