It's All Part Of The Plan

I get the point

those who don't answer this.

Is there currently more attention on covid deaths or any of either cardiovascular, car, or drug deaths???

Look at the amount of money and resources we have spent over the last 50 years combating drug use and drug deaths. As to vehicle deaths, we have completely redesigned cars over the years to reduce them.

Huge spike in non Covid excess deaths in the US….particularly in the 20 to 40 age group…

yup and they are still a major cause of death in the US. That doesn't answer the question of what is getting more attention.

Covid restrictions have made our lives markedly worse, not better.

I don't necessarily believe that on a personal level. The lock down seemed to bring me and my wife closer together, and when they started to get lifted we have tried a few new things and generally appreciate each other much more.

What gets more attention currently is what is currently novel. Give it time and Covid will be "ignored" like everything else that becomes part of life.

exactly you guys only care about what is novel or more accurately, what you are told to care about by the news media. If you're guys point is deaths than why not put the same attention into other things.

You want to talk about novelty, ok. Why not care about the new #1 cause of death is those under 50, fentanyl?? causes more deaths than covid for these age groups. don't want to talk about it because people don't want to admit that securing the border is important.

The novel will always get more attention in the short term.

Pretty sure this thread is about covid.

I never said that nobody cares... I said that when the deaths come from expected sources we accept them easier. Did you watch the Joker? One Mayor in Wisconsin is threatened to get kidnapped and it was world news for weeks. Dozens of gang shootings? Barely a blip in the local news. Hundreds of thousands die elderly die each year from old people issues... normal. Hundreds of thousands die from Covid? The world needs to be shut down for over two years.

Covid increased the number of deaths, it didn't remain the same just for different reasons.

I am not sure how this relates to what I said. Sure, more deaths, many attributed to Covid that would have been heart attack of cancer or flu before... but still more. And?

Maybe if less money, time and effort was wasted in criminalising and incarcerating drug users, and more effort was made to help these individuals who are the victims of criminal drug gangs, we might see the kind of success Portugal is enjoying with their approach.

Portugal’s radical drugs policy is working. Why hasn’t the world copied it?

The long read: Since it decriminalised all drugs in 2001, Portugal has seen dramatic drops in overdoses, HIV infection and drug-related crime

Agreed but it should still be illegal. The sale of drugs should still be heavily penalized. but you still think we shouldn't secure our border. You avoided a point by making another

I said nothing about border security.

Give up on your idea that the “vaccines” stopped infections…it makes it look as though you’ve learned nothing in two years lol.

Earth to Big Eye....

Where is you?
