Is the Flu in the witness protection program?

I never said NO ONE under 60 died of Covid, did I?

This is the thing. less than a thousand people under 18 died from Covid and almost everyone had preexisting conditions. For that, we mask them all up and vaccinate them all?

Don't answer cause I know you'll say yes.

So it doesn't matter if they kill off their parents and grandparents?

Those under 60 in good health are NOT filling the hospitals. You are wrong

Sure they are. They may not DIE as much, like the older patients, but they can be in the hospital, even the ICUs, for at least a week or two. It can be pretty touch-and-go for a while whether they will make it out; no guarantees at all. This thing is a pretty serious virus, all your attempts to trivialize it notwithstanding.

Yes, I know more than one person who was infected with the flu. One never wore a mask and the other stopped wearing it and traveled to another state. And now two co-workers who either never wore a mask or stopped wearing one and traveled have tested positive for Covid. I have not ever stopped wearing a mask and taking other precautions and have not had a cold, flu, or Covid in two years. This is the first time in my life that this has ever been true. And all around me people who let their guard down have gotten sick. So your question is asked and answered, and the reality I experience disagrees with your ranting and raving. Maybe it's time to emerge from wherever you have been hiding and take your blinders off. But that would mean you are actually sincere in what you post and I'm not that naive.

Congrats

Why should we focus on a pandemic that affected the young and old more equally to prove that the young have absolutely nothing to worry about with the Covid 19 epidemic? Or that they shouldn't care about the old?

Because this one affects the old, the weak. That's why.

The virus killed old people in poor health. Masks had zero to do with them dying.

Wearing masks and taking other precautions could have prevented old people in poor health from catching it, which has everything to do with them dying.

No evidence of your CLAIM. People died in states with masks and in many cases at higher levels than those without masks.
 
devildavid said:
So your OP is baseless, as usual.

No proof that masks saved even one life. Just claims and speculation and hypothesis. The states that mandated masks fared no better.

So where are you getting your information? is it all just based on gut feelings?

Been moving rocks and dirt all day. Some of you should get some exercise too.

"What if" isn't a good enough reason; 'what if' I left my home and got run down by a truck? Maybe I should stay home permanently and never leave, just in case. Why do you continue to believe vaccines aren't effective? I strongly suspect you were vaccinated against all manner of nasty diseases when a young child. You wouldn't have been able to attend school otherwise.

I’ve had 2 vaccines this year. Ones that work. Covid wasn’t one of them.

And I am the one diverting the topic?

My post was to say I was doing hard physical labor and I had no desire to read the link. Posters should be courteous anyway and include as many excer[pts as needed to convey the point they are trying to make.

Leftists don't do that cause they are lazy and ill-informed.

It is a different test. When reported as flu, it is based on having a positive test for flu.

Are you thinking that people are risking their licenses by falsely reporting flu as covid??
Click to expand...

No.

Now ask me what I think happens to the information after it has been rolled upstairs? :)
 
year2late said:
You understand they are two very different types of vaccines, right?

The flu vaccine is based on which strains they expect to see the next flu season. Some years they are on point. Others not so much.

Perhaps you lack basic understanding (like most conspiracy theorists) - there are many strains of flu. It is not an expectation that he flu vaccine will be completely effective. It is very effective if the patient has one of the strains that was included in their vaccine.

Trust me, I know how the flu vaccine is a perennial loser. I have no use for it.

Not all medications being prescribed have been around for decades. The most effective new ones have only just been approved by the FDA. Do you only take things that have been around for decades?
