US leads wealthy countries in Omicron deaths


Who said ALL?

Yes, we sure are

But the DEVIL is in the details isn't it?

Almost 53 million old people in the U.S?

You starting to catch on yet?(LOL)

The reason couldn't be more clear as the other graphs in this article show. The US lags in both initial vaccinations and booster shots.

It is also the case where for a large part of that increase was still being driven by Delta, not omicron.

Yes, but let's not forget that average ages a century ago were also considerably lower, generally. In the US, for example, in 1918 average life expectancy was 36 and 42 for men and women respectively. The following year, 1919, it was 53 and 56-still low in comparison with today's at 79 and 82.

That won't work for you either. The number is a deat rate.

Rates are highly effected by the underlying numbers. But of course as a leftist your guiding principle is pure dehumanizing use of statistics. Try reading Burke some time

I think you have biden confused with the god entity folks talk about. Biden is the president, he's not a scientist who works on covid. He has urged us numerous times to get vaccinated, is it his fault so many refuse to get vaccinated?

In many ways it sure is.

The refusal to end government biomedical fascism on his part is a major driver of resistance.
 
With lateral flow tests no indicator of a specific infection , what on earth are you arguing over ?

And with Moronic as severe as a minor common cold who , but a lunatic , cares ?

Covid is over . Countries all over the planet have now toned down and even removed all restrictions .

When will backward areas like the US catch up ?

I think it's more to do with the fact that many yanks are out of condition fat ****s with low bit d levels. South Africa is doing far better with low Vax rates so it definitely ain't that.
 
Trouble is that a new more dangerous variant might be in the pipeline.
 
Those of you that think the vaxxes are the way out should take a look at Israel. They are the most vaxxed population in the world and currently have the highest death rate of the whole pandemic...much higher than before the Vax existed.

The left already overused the covid strategy and it will be a miracle if they can continue it until the midterms. After covid the left intends to use Climate Change to force their authoritarian rule on the people.

I think they are still real keen to get these shots into people...Omicron is more of an antidote than threat so they may try to release something worse later in the year to get those shots rolling again.
 
The downside to Omicron is that with greater infectivity comes a greater chance of new more dangerous variants ...or at least the cover for such.
 
Well, 28 was not 'one foot in the grave,' regardless. The huge difference in averages between 1918 and 1919 was because the young adults were dying of the Flu.

Hmmm.... We'll see. The left will of course line up for miles during a thunderstorm to get their new and improved vaccine and then will immediately start shaming and canceling those who didn't. The truth is, the leftist government has their minions so well trained that they don't have to do mandates, they just use the population to control the population. Of course, there is always the chance that the next variant is so mild that only the dumbest leftists will take it, but that still covers almost 50% of the population.

BTW, how is the situation with covid in the UK? Everything lifted? Life returning to normal? I see that also Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway are getting out of the covid business and back to a more intelligent approach.

Some one was sleeping in school when the details of this "Per Capita " are non existent?
 
I'm not a crazy fan of Biden either, but lets at least face some real facts to be fair. If you follow Bidens advise and get vaccinated you have the best chance of living through covid unharmed. If you don't follow his advice, you take responsibility for your own actions.

On the other hand, if you took Trumps earlier advice and turned up maskless etc at one of his superspreader rallies, you had a much higher risk of harm.

Unless you want vaccine mandst3es, Biden has done what he can. If you want to find the reason for all the antivax movement you need to put the blame on those that promote antivax unless you are asking Biden to infringe on your 'freedoms'. Political leaders who push against vaccinations to try and score political points have blood on their hands.

The numbers in the OP are PER CAPITA.

Math fail.

To prove your point, you'd have to show that old people make up a significantly greater percentage of the overall US population compared to Europe or some of these other countries. And provide evidence that that difference in aged population solely accounts for the difference in deaths per capita. (And not the numerous other REAL reasons so many people are dying. Such as idiots refusing to get vaccinated, or local and state governments not taking the pandemic seriously.)

Then again if you were proficient at math or science you wouldn't be flailing around with this questionable logic to prove your questionable point.
 
OK Ishm, from previous posts you have made, you seem like a sincere and intelligent person. But before I go on, first I need to confirm my opinion by asking you one simple question concerning the vaccine push.

Imagine if Trump had won reelection and it was rollout time for the vaccine. He encouraged everyone to get the vaccine and follow Dr. Fauci's guidance. The trump supporters rallied behind him and made getting vaccinated a win for the red team. Would you have gotten the vaccine? That I need to know from you. If you like this mental exercise, let me ask a few more questions. How would you feel about Trump if he had mandated the vaccine? How many on the left would be staunch anti-vaxxers if the tables were turned? How many of the same posters on this forum who are so angry with the anti-vaxxers today feel if it were Trump behind the vaccination push?
 
There are several obvious reasons the US has faired so poorly regarding Covid deaths.

1) Lack of trust of Government. This was a problem before Trump. Trump made it way worse.

2) Politicization. The fact that the pandemic started in an election year was horrible timing. Trump tried to pretend there was no outbreak so he could win the election. The uneducated believed him and acted accordingly.

3) The anti vax movement. The ease at which the vulnerable were brainwashed into thinking that getting the vaccine was worse than getting Covid is astonishing. This is by far the biggest reason for the excess numbers of deaths in the US.

4) The US is a very unhealthy nation. I say this both mentally and physically. There needs to be more focus on getting this country fit.

5) Right wing media. They are changing their toon now a little but it's too late. They spread a lot of disinformation to the mentally vulnerable. Many people have died because of this.

6) Social media. Obviously the people aren't getting out and getting exercise in this nation. They spend all of their time "researching" things that only support their narrative. Anybody who isn't getting vaccinated based on their "research" is a moron. It's a shame there isn't a stat to see how many of these morons have died because they thing they have done their due diligence. Notice how much information is taken out of context but quickly believed to be the whole truth.

I could go on and on. Bottom line is we are a fat/lazy/stupid/selfish country.
 

COVID is over. Yet spiking.

You make zero sense.
