I know I'm going to try to be first in line, but what about the rest of you? I'm not sure if the death count is where the science community wants it to be, plus Birdbrain hasn't been sworn in, so I expect there will be delays, but that's beside the point.

What difference does it make to him if someone else prefers to take whatever risk is posed by covid? But that is not the prevailing attitude, and the Biden administration is trying to stamp out all expressions of doubt about vaccination on social media.
As noted here, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were themselves the most prominent of anti-vaxxers, and if some people took their skepticism too seriously, they have only themselves to blame. But there is more: Drew Holden did an excellent job, back in November 2020, of reminding us that anti-vaccine sentiment was widespread on the Left right up to the 2020 election:...

IFR for the flu is ~.1% CDC estimates IFR for COVID-19 is ~.7%
How long does a flu season last? Those 30-60k deaths are how many months? Is that an anual number? Just trying to compare the numbers. What’s the timeline on the Covid -19 deaths? When did we start counting?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get a better, more accurate comparison than 60k vs 600k [Reply]

Flu season runs pretty much late October to late spring, usually May. So figure five to six months.
We've been counting COVID-19 deaths since March 2020, so 17 months, more or less. And again, the 60,000 dead in the 2017/2018 flu season was very high. It's usually about 20,000 to 40,000 on average.

The newest Israeli data indicate ~complete vaccine failure on every level. Remember: Israel used only the @pfizer mRNA shot and followed Pfizer dosing schedule. This data, from the @IsraelMOH telegram account, show nearly all serious cases and deaths are now among the vaccinated. https://t.co/ITqCE3bUrx [Reply]

Once again, did you even look at that tweet?

Green bars represent the vaccinated; red unvaccinated.
Guess which color has higher numbers, you moron. [Reply]

Very predictable.
Check earlier in this thread, unless I put it elsewhere, about a few months ago...I predicted this would be the case. [Reply]

Everyone, please go get vaccinated tomorrow.
I know someone who kept pushing the vaccine, having a hard time I didn't get it, who's wife was sick with Covid later. They were supposed to fly out to Europe but couldn't go. [Reply]
