Apparently your kindergarten curriculum is badly out of date. The method of 21st century science is thus:
1. determine the premise to be proven
2. collect data
3. any data points that do not support the premise are declared outliers and removed
4. restate premise as absolute fact
5. collect payment
6. shout down anyone who questions the absolute fact as a denier and anti-science, misinformation and disinformation and take appropriate action to silence them
That's not 21st century only. Check out how Ancel Keys determined that saturated fat "caused" heart disease: by eliminating from his data set the Masai, whose diet was more than 60% saturated fat and yet had no heart disease. The result? Replacement of fat with sugar and then HFCS and the diabesity epidemic.
We were right about everything and they were wrong about everything. Literally.
I don't think that's an overstatement.
For the amateur's, it's the equivalent of playing a couple years of Pop Warner football and then coaching an NFL team to win the superbowl.
The PHA's are the equivalent of a PGA golfer having the shanks on every single shot for 3 years on the tour, and acting like the scorecard doesn't matter.
Every single one of the PHA's were hacks all along. That takes effort.....or planning.
I am a retired data analyst from a national lab. That assessment is pretty correct. Except no. 5 should be no. 4 and they didn't feel or have a need for 4 or 6.
DeSantis was able to resurrect some by chanting ancient incantations from a banned book and ship them to "inclusive" Martha's Vineyard, s largely "gun-free zone", where they were heartily welcomed into the commune right up to the time they were forcibly deported by heavily armed soldiers.
Perhaps. But the great thing about running an experiment on the global population without any control group is you can always assert that things would have been way worse if we had not done what we did. When you find a state/country that did not go apeshitnuts that has a better outcome, claim that it is only because of all the apeshitnuts stuff done elsewhere flattened the curve and led to the better outcome. easy!
Exactly. Would have died without the shot. Can't prove otherwise.
Seems like everyone I know has had the dreaded C-sickness but me. Most multiple times because most people in my circle have taken the drug. In the immediate family, only my son has evaded the shot. He got the flu, tested positive, got over it (late 20s) and hasn't gotten it again. His SO had to get the shot for her job, and counts 2 bouts with COVID so far. My SO tested positive with no symptoms at all, so I count here as the other exception (not really had it but she can wear the badge if she wants). I keep getting tested but it comes up negative. I feel somehow inadequate as it seems all the hip people wear the "I had COVID" badge with pride. My doc just ordered another test because I picked up bronchitis and of course everything must be COVID - it's not. Another negative. Redid it twice to be sure. At this point I've tested so many times I'm due for a positive as I'm over the published false positive rate. I guess there's hope I too can wear the badge of COVID survivor some day!
Yes, the world has gone apeshitnuts and we're all just along for the rid.
Can’t remember where I read it, but the gubmint was supposedly recalling the tests as they have some kind of bacteria (surprise, surprise!!!!!) in them.
That’s one response, yet how bout this: Don’t start pandemics in the first place. Don’t cultivate mad scientists to make deadly microbes more deadly. Don’t invent Frankenstein DNA, and for the grand finale…show how you can “undo” your creations before you pat yourself on the back as a Master of the Universe. Don’t censor and terrify the taxpayers until they cling to their executioners.
After that, hygiene and nutrition take care of 90+percent of global illness. (Guess that’s why the same evil creeps are buying up farmland and vaxxing animals to contaminate the food supply too. No need for informed consent when you can create nasty “flying syringes” out of gm mosquitoes as creepy Bill was so proud to announce. WTF!?)
There is an old saw in aviation: in an emergency the first thing to do is wind your watch. Sadly the last few generations don't get it as they've never seen a watch that requires winding. So I explain it as "don't just do something, sit there!" as in take a moment, a deep breath, assess the situation, then react. This notion of rational response seems to have been lost.
Yes of course, we should've had more bureaucrats and we could've prevented more deaths.
Clearly more manpower, packing firearms, at the public health institutions would've kept those SUPER-DUPER ULTRA MAGA RACIST SCIENCE DENIER'S from killing everyone.
There covered in the "science deniers" super-category.
BTW this is not new, this is as old as domination. You characterize freedom as dangerous: you choice harms others. In most cases it's a false assertion but if repeated frequently it becomes the accepted truth.
Your choice to not wear a helmet is costing the rest of us BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in taking care of the head trauma cases that didn't die (reality is this was always a false premise never supportable by any actual facts). The exact same assertion was applied to seat belts. Thus the choice (right) must be eliminated.
Your choice to own a firearm (especially the one that looks mean) is why billions of innocent kids are being murdered. Thus the choice (right) must be eliminated.
Your "free speech" is spreading misinformation, fear and panic, killing millions of babies and cute puppies. Thus your choice (right to speak) must be eliminated.
Pretty boilerplate. Fill in the blank with whatever liberty needs to be "moderated" and whatever outcome tugs the heart strings and turns on the tears. The common thread is the assertion can't be proven, or supported with facts or logic, and in most cases is patently absurd. It seems the more absurd, the better it works. Like when making up statistics: more precision is more convincing. This has been proven in 98.875672% of all faulty statistical statements.
Also maga-racist is implied with science denier as well. Apparently if you go on Twitter and talk to someone about the effectiveness of masks, if you check underneath their carriage they are leaking an odd orange fluid. Then you can start hearing the dripping.
I have a very large social sphere because I own a business that sells capital improvement projects, exclusively to other businesses. I have the good fortune of having 3k clients.
My sphere is probably 2-3k people that I have had conversations with over the last three years (most over 50) and not a single person in my sphere knows anyone who died from covid.....or even went to the hospital.
I just lost two more friends this week. One was 54.
6 months ago a dear friend dropped over after his own brother vaxxed him ( a pharmacist.) Kids at the funeral double masked outside, because soy-ence.
My colleague went to 4 funerals in two months: her 39 year old husband, yes diabetic, her father-in-law, her best friend, and another close family member.
If it happens to you, the statistic is suddenly 100% fatal.
Of course not. I think that was my point. Immediately after the shots. Just a coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move along folks.
Pay no attention to the massive surge of aggressive cancers, heart disease in children and 1100+% increase in prime fitness athletes dropping dead in mid-step. Just a massive global coincidence.
Yes, we don't control everything and people die. The incredible alarming increases have been compared to 7 Vietnam wars happening in one year, every year, and all it gets is a discounting "hand wave" from denialists.
We had two unrelated friends from India who each lost a parent to Delta in India. My mom had a friend who lost her husband to covid. He had a pre-existing lung condition, but he didn't get vaccinated.
So while I know of far more people harmed or killed by the shots, to me that felt like a lot. Since I directly saw the grief of two of those involved, it felt very real and immediate.
I think it’s important to keep in mind that individuals will have individual reactions. I had three friends die of Covid and one come about as close as one could be to death without actually dying. Of those three one person it wasn’t surprising and probably just cut her a few months short as she had many other significant issues but the other two while older (mid sixties and early eighties) were both healthy and their deaths were surprising. Meanwhile I know other people for whom I figured Covid would be a death sentence that sailed right through. The friend that almost died is immunocompromised and then was misdiagnosed and sent home without treatment she desperately needed but I’m not sure why the other two died. Maybe it was the treatments that killed them, maybe it was a stronger reaction to the spike proteins due to genetic or environmental factors it’s hard to say. On the other hand among my vaccinated friends/family there has been one case of myocarditis and one case of cancer that was likely vaccine induced and yet many people here have seen multiple vaccine deaths. I think that when looking at the percent of people who died due to Covid the responses were too hard handed and over the top and that the death rate didn’t warrant such a massive freak out. But it’s still a tragedy for the families of the people who did die and while the vast majority were quite compromised lots of other people weren’t.
OK, I think I've figured this out: the graph is a reply to James Suroweicki's tweet from Sept. 2020. At the time, Sweden was very light on covid containment measures like lockdowns, masking etc so it was expected their death rate would go through the roof. That's what Surowiecki's tweet is implying, that Sweden's death rate is higher than Norway or South Korea. Stinson Norwood shows that in fact Sweden's death rate is lower than both countries.
Sweden did not lock down, did not impose restrictions, and the untested emergency response using an RNA program to cause the human body to create spike proteins (Covid "vax") was not pushed or required on its population to continue normal life.
Another variable is that both Sweden and Norway have most their populations taking Vitamin D because of their limited sunshine. Our son lives there and why I know this.
Yep. Very very very early there were two types of people who had bad outcomes in Sweden: The very old and sick (like everywhere), and SOMALI IMMIGRANTS who were struggling to get enough Vitamin D.
Yup. The africans living here don't go out in the winter which according to them is almost the entire year. One guy at my old gym wore his Canadian Goose-jacket when it was +25C outside, he complained about it always being cold here. +25C is t-shirt weather and complaining about the heat wave to me.
Nor are they very active re: sports and PE outdoors. They are "stugsittare*" by nature it seems, an of course, being moslems, they eat the wrong kinds of foods.
It's almost as if different human races having lived thousands or tens of thousands or even longer in different climates have developed slightly different adaptations to their surroundings. Like, evolution, man.
* Old idiom referring to people becoming too infirm to go outside, slightly derogatory nowadays.
No we don't? Unless you mean AD-drops for kids of course, or people using supplements. Might be people in your son's social circuit of course.
However, our traditional foods are rich in vitamin, protein, fat, and so on. Also, most people here eat real food, not septuple super-processed-"er-mah-gerd-ah-can't-believe-it's-not-real-cheese" out of a spray-can.
That might play into it, as can the "socialised" food all kids get at school.
I remember when my covidian friends were blabbering about Sweden being a "catastrophe" based on one fake news outlet or another.
After, of course, the obligatory "well, I follow the science, and..." which needed to precede every ridiculous assertion made in a sanctimonious straight face, particularly when a "denier" was present.
I remember sitting at dinner one night and having a family member tell me "natural immunity does not exist". I was so flabbergasted I was incapable of any response other than shaking my head, taking another bite of ribeye and washing it down with a large swill of Malbec in a vain attempt to escape the insanity.
These people will literally believe anything. If CNN or the Peacock told them gravity didn't exist, it would be solemnly regurgitated as substantiation that people can levitate.
Of course, large herds of ignoramuses have been a feature of humanity probably since the emergence of Cro-Magnon man. The Romans called them the capite censi ("head count").
Allowing this lot to vote on the fate of the Republic was arguably a major factor in its demise, and it appears that history is indeed repeating itself.
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."
I had people tell me that acquired immunity didn't exist and/or "wore off" after just a couple months. They didn't seem to understand that if acquired immunity didn't exist, the shots had 0% chance to work.
Just a few years ago I would have never considered that large numbers of purportedly educated people could believe this sort of nonsense.
Acquired (natural) immunity has been known for some 25 centuries yet a few months of CNN regurgitating government blabber completely blows any sense out of boobus' head.
Los Angeles paid people to rip out grass and install fake grass for lawns through a rebate program. A company that captured a big part of the market doing it gave $$ to the mayor's campaign.
Fast forward a few years, and now they realize it's toxic. I am no gardening expert, but common sense told me it was stupid. It's plastic and disintegrates. Plus, all the bugs that dig in the dirt couldn't do so which hurts other wildlife that depends on them for food. It is the same story: a problem is identified, 'academic experts' are retained, solutions against common sense are proposed, profiteering occurs and then the experts quietly reveal they were wrong.
Yeah, it would have been better to look at what grew there before the ground was upended and create landscaping based on what was present before grass was planted in an arid desert region.
I have actually found a politician who was either not thinking before engaging her mouth, or had a rare moment of honesty.
Last week, in Washington state (of all places!), Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson (RINO) made the below statement at the Commission meeting. Following the presentation of the 2021 Island County Healthy Youth Survey which included data showing 44% of 8th graders in Island County reported feeling sad/hopeless for two weeks or more, 28% considered suicide in the previous year, 27% made a suicide plan, and 15% actually attempted suicide, she said:
“Those COVID years were not good for those younger kids, I mean, that is something that has to get owned in that COVID story and reflection, is we did a great job with the virus and we sacrificed a lot of kids.”
Who knows if that survey is accurate. May be another attempt at Demoralisation. If true though, that's a whopping 1/4 of kids who want to GTFO. I conclude Governance needs to Get Out.
No probably not. He'll double down just like the Canadian gov. Justin Trudeau and his Liberal party just had a convention this past weekend where they discussed bringing back vaccine mandates 'to finally put an end to covid'. I guess they didn't get the message from the rest of the world that it IS over and the shots failed. At the twitter link below, a woman calls them and asks about this. Meanwhile, Trudeau just denied that he mandated anything.
And when you're left, you can never be right...about anything. I wonder what the overall population numbers look like after 3 years of medical terrorism. I mean did we gain or lose cats and dogs?
When Sweden did not have a big bump up in all cause mortality I thought, hmmm, how is it possible because I know that after developing natural immunity those silly Swedes still lined up for the genetic experiments, so the implication was that all the deaths in the brain dead nations were related to lockdowns and the terrible treatment protocols alone??
Well, no. Thanks Gato. We were right all along.
Now the only question that remains is--- did the developers and Nazi enforcers know just how deadly their plan really was?
If you peruse the Pfizer documents it appears that they did.
If so, did they really think we wouldn't notice?
We appear to have just lived through the greatest Ashe Conformity/Las Vegas Magic Show/Street Pickpocket Artist attack EVER.
Killed millions, killed businesses by the millions, disabled a million+, and still we have people repeating "Safe & Effective," "Safe and Effective," Safe and Effective!"
"Safe" for the murderers, they gave themselves blanket liability and "effective" at taking down the Formerly Free World.
With respect to human death statistics, it’s a callus indifference to the individual lives that are lost. But if we want to bring an end to Covid insanity we can only do so by look deeply into the full context of the factors, deaths, the disease and the lockdowns. That means Covid labeled death compared to total death in the entire population. That also means full and accurate assessment of what was a Covid death, the accuracy of test and even confirmation by autopsy, some authorities deemed to dangerous from the first declaration based on misstated death computer projections.
The flaws in the reports and statistics are deeply buried and obfuscated and public trust so eroded there’s few people who would trust anything coming from those claiming expertise.
True. The day this hit me was like when JFK was shot; I literally remember where I was and what ran through my head when I knew they were gaming the system. It was in late March or early April of 2020, and I think I may still have the screenshot of that order Birx made to count dying “with covid” the same as “from covid.” Little did I know how much worse it could get. Natural belligerence had already made these jokers dead to me as advisors on any topic, so the deal was completely sealed. These were weapons-grade liars. I rummaged around and eventually found TES, EGM, and others who’ve been far better advisors than 3-letter agencies that clearly need to be dismantled. If the price for being wrong is not paid, more wrong is on the way.
Death of a 20 year old can be considered a tragedy. Of a 103 year old is a celebration. Using statistics is an exercise in removal of life from a death.
Despite purpose of my comment re spelling, I fully agree with your point. Parents died at 91 and almost 97; I had no sorrow as they had experienced long, full lives. Husband's parents same. But anyone under 40 (just to choose a number), then, oh, the pain!
Thank and I appreciate your catch on spelling but for some reason I couldn’t activate the edit button.
Wholeheartedly agree, as I lost my older sister at 64 and consider that a tragedy. My father, at 91 had a touch of dementia and my mother was permanently on oxygen at 93. I consider those blessing and now, past 75 say, cherish the memories. Let them rest in peace.
Public shaming to.the ones who didn't know but went along with so much hubris and bruhaha. Rotten eggs and old food should be thrown at them in a public square at the very least. Put Schwarzenegger there too. " screw your freedoms" ???

Keys used 22 countries but cherry picked 7. The 7 that fit his hypothesis, of course. Nothing new in Denmark.
Pretty sure your average Masai is rather more ...motile than the sedentary somnambulists of many western nations?
Of course, infering that physical exercise (energy in/energy out) is a factor is tantamount to white supremacism, according to US liberal academia.
We were right about everything and they were wrong about everything. Literally.
I don't think that's an overstatement.

If the 'experts' were merely incompetent, the errors would have gone in both directions.
Obviously they did not.
Boom. Same with every other issue these days.
Makes you wonder if they're not "errors".
So our Covid Response was basically Calvin Ball?

Your 1st 'collect' (#2) can be easily done without—as opposed to the 2nd (#5) which is absolutely necessary 😏
Tony, is that you?
I think point 5 comes first, though?
Obviously Sweden was flying bodies to DeSantis so he could feed them to the Everglades gators. It's the only possible explanation.
Lived in FL. Alligators don’t like Euros. (But they do like their small dogs.).
That's because gators have taste. I hear they don't like the rancid flesh of leftists either, leaving them to their fellow swamp rats.
Not all of them.
DeSantis was able to resurrect some by chanting ancient incantations from a banned book and ship them to "inclusive" Martha's Vineyard, s largely "gun-free zone", where they were heartily welcomed into the commune right up to the time they were forcibly deported by heavily armed soldiers.
Not flying! Imagine St. Greta's reaction!
(Our thoroughly woke former state church is actively lobbying for beatification of her, for real, while she's still young.)
OMG!!! 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
🤮
Meaning...what?
It means the global plandemic should have had a single treatment:
Do nothing
Perhaps. But the great thing about running an experiment on the global population without any control group is you can always assert that things would have been way worse if we had not done what we did. When you find a state/country that did not go apeshitnuts that has a better outcome, claim that it is only because of all the apeshitnuts stuff done elsewhere flattened the curve and led to the better outcome. easy!
"Yeah, I did get Teh COVID *shriek* but it surely would've been worse if I hadn't gotten that Eleventeenth Booster."
Exactly. Would have died without the shot. Can't prove otherwise.

You better quit letting them do the tests.
Can’t remember where I read it, but the gubmint was supposedly recalling the tests as they have some kind of bacteria (surprise, surprise!!!!!) in them.
Your immune system probably laughed at it in 2019.
I remember when the media tried to insinuate that the fall in Africa's covid situation was because of Americans getting vaccinated.
How did I miss that lulu?! 🤣🤣
Sweden was the control group.
As were many, if not most of the gatonistas aqui.
That’s one response, yet how bout this: Don’t start pandemics in the first place. Don’t cultivate mad scientists to make deadly microbes more deadly.

Kipling said it well, in 1895:
“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
I've always loved that poem. Thanks for sharing it!
Yes of course, we should've had more bureaucrats and we could've prevented more deaths.

Pretty good rule in general, because there's bears outside.
That's only dangerous to people wearing beige pants while trying to put trash in dumpsters, surely?

I have a very large social sphere because I own a business that sells capital improvement projects, exclusively to other businesses. I have the good fortune of having 3k clients.
My sphere is probably 2-3k people that I have had conversations with over the last three years (most over 50) and not a single person in my sphere knows anyone who died from covid.....or even went to the hospital.
I can't believe that that's anomalous.

OK, I think I've figured this out: the graph is a reply to James Suroweicki's tweet from Sept. 2020. At the time, Sweden was very light on covid containment measures like lockdowns, masking etc so it was expected their death rate would go through the roof. That's what Surowiecki's tweet is implying, that Sweden's death rate is higher than Norway or South Korea. Stinson Norwood shows that in fact Sweden's death rate is lower than both countries.
Sweden did not lock down, did not impose restrictions, and the untested emergency response using an RNA program to cause the human body to create spike proteins (Covid "vax") was not pushed or required on its population to continue normal life.
Another variable is that both Sweden and Norway have most their populations taking Vitamin D because of their limited sunshine. Our son lives there and why I know this.
And The Science continues to ignore this.
(because Vit D is cheap and provides insufficient opportunity for graft, I think)
Yep. Very very very early there were two types of people who had bad outcomes in Sweden: The very old and sick (like everywhere), and SOMALI IMMIGRANTS who were struggling to get enough Vitamin D.
Yup. The africans living here don't go out in the winter which according to them is almost the entire year. One guy at my old gym wore his Canadian Goose-jacket when it was +25C outside, he complained about it always being cold here. +25C is t-shirt weather and complaining about the heat wave to me.
Nor are they very active re: sports and PE outdoors. They are "stugsittare*" by nature it seems, an of course, being moslems, they eat the wrong kinds of foods.
It's almost as if different human races having lived thousands or tens of thousands or even longer in different climates have developed slightly different adaptations to their surroundings. Like, evolution, man.
* Old idiom referring to people becoming too infirm to go outside, slightly derogatory nowadays.
No we don't? Unless you mean AD-drops for kids of course, or people using supplements. Might be people in your son's social circuit of course.
However, our traditional foods are rich in vitamin, protein, fat, and so on. Also, most people here eat real food, not septuple super-processed-"er-mah-gerd-ah-can't-believe-it's-not-real-cheese" out of a spray-can.
That might play into it, as can the "socialised" food all kids get at school.
I remember when my covidian friends were blabbering about Sweden being a "catastrophe" based on one fake news outlet or another.
After, of course, the obligatory "well, I follow the science, and..." which needed to precede every ridiculous assertion made in a sanctimonious straight face, particularly when a "denier" was present.
I remember sitting at dinner one night and having a family member tell me "natural immunity does not exist". I was so flabbergasted I was incapable of any response other than shaking my head, taking another bite of ribeye and washing it down with a large swill of Malbec in a vain attempt to escape the insanity.
These people will literally believe anything. If CNN or the Peacock told them gravity didn't exist, it would be solemnly regurgitated as substantiation that people can levitate.
Of course, large herds of ignoramuses have been a feature of humanity probably since the emergence of Cro-Magnon man. The Romans called them the capite censi ("head count").
Allowing this lot to vote on the fate of the Republic was arguably a major factor in its demise, and it appears that history is indeed repeating itself.

I had people tell me that acquired immunity didn't exist and/or "wore off" after just a couple months. They didn't seem to understand that if acquired immunity didn't exist, the shots had 0% chance to work.
Just a few years ago I would have never considered that large numbers of purportedly educated people could believe this sort of nonsense.
Acquired (natural) immunity has been known for some 25 centuries yet a few months of CNN regurgitating government blabber completely blows any sense out of boobus' head.
It is truly astonishing. And dangerous.
Los Angeles paid people to rip out grass and install fake grass for lawns through a rebate program. A company that captured a big part of the market doing it gave $$ to the mayor's campaign.
Fast forward a few years, and now they realize it's toxic. I am no gardening expert, but common sense told me it was stupid. It's plastic and disintegrates. Plus, all the bugs that dig in the dirt couldn't do so which hurts other wildlife that depends on them for food. It is the same story: a problem is identified, 'academic experts' are retained, solutions against common sense are proposed, profiteering occurs and then the experts quietly reveal they were wrong.
Yeah, it would have been better to look at what grew there before the ground was upended and create landscaping based on what was present before grass was planted in an arid desert region.
Shoot, there goes my plan to replace our lawn with Astroturf and save over time on landscaping and mowing fees!!
...And that last step is optional.
Don’t worry. This same phenomenon does not apply to climate science. All good there…

I have actually found a politician who was either not thinking before engaging her mouth, or had a rare moment of honesty.
Last week, in Washington state (of all places!), Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson (RINO) made the below statement at the Commission meeting. Following the presentation of the 2021 Island County Healthy Youth Survey which included data showing 44% of 8th graders in Island County reported feeling sad/hopeless for two weeks or more, 28% considered suicide in the previous year, 27% made a suicide plan, and 15% actually attempted suicide, she said:
“Those COVID years were not good for those younger kids, I mean, that is something that has to get owned in that COVID story and reflection, is we did a great job with the virus and we sacrificed a lot of kids.”
https://www.whidbeynewstimes.com/news/survey-says-the-kids-arent-alright
She got it half right.
Who knows if that survey is accurate. May be another attempt at Demoralisation. If true though, that's a whopping 1/4 of kids who want to GTFO. I conclude Governance needs to Get Out.
So in other words, they really DIDN’T do a great job with the virus.🤦♀️ Do these people ever think before they speak?
Will Suroweiki dare respond to his utter humiliation? I doubt he has that sort of integrity.
No probably not. He'll double down just like the Canadian gov. Justin Trudeau and his Liberal party just had a convention this past weekend where they discussed bringing back vaccine mandates 'to finally put an end to covid'. I guess they didn't get the message from the rest of the world that it IS over and the shots failed. At the twitter link below, a woman calls them and asks about this. Meanwhile, Trudeau just denied that he mandated anything.

And when you're left, you can never be right...about anything. I wonder what the overall population numbers look like after 3 years of medical terrorism. I mean did we gain or lose cats and dogs?
You know, Gato, I've been waiting.
When Sweden did not have a big bump up in all cause mortality I thought, hmmm, how is it possible because I know that after developing natural immunity those silly Swedes still lined up for the genetic experiments, so the implication was that all the deaths in the brain dead nations were related to lockdowns and the terrible treatment protocols alone??
Well, no. Thanks Gato. We were right all along.
Now the only question that remains is--- did the developers and Nazi enforcers know just how deadly their plan really was?
If you peruse the Pfizer documents it appears that they did.
If so, did they really think we wouldn't notice?
We appear to have just lived through the greatest Ashe Conformity/Las Vegas Magic Show/Street Pickpocket Artist attack EVER.
Killed millions, killed businesses by the millions, disabled a million+, and still we have people repeating "Safe & Effective," "Safe and Effective," Safe and Effective!"
"Safe" for the murderers, they gave themselves blanket liability and "effective" at taking down the Formerly Free World.
Ahh. Now I understand!
With respect to human death statistics, it’s a callus indifference to the individual lives that are lost. But if we want to bring an end to Covid insanity we can only do so by look deeply into the full context of the factors, deaths, the disease and the lockdowns. That means Covid labeled death compared to total death in the entire population. That also means full and accurate assessment of what was a Covid death, the accuracy of test and even confirmation by autopsy, some authorities deemed to dangerous from the first declaration based on misstated death computer projections.
The flaws in the reports and statistics are deeply buried and obfuscated and public trust so eroded there’s few people who would trust anything coming from those claiming expertise.
We will never know how many deaths were caused by Covid, the numbers being gamed so badly almost everywhere, so all we have is excess mortality.
True. The day this hit me was like when JFK was shot; I literally remember where I was and what ran through my head when I knew they were gaming the system. It was in late March or early April of 2020, and I think I may still have the screenshot of that order Birx made to count dying “with covid” the same as “from covid.” Little did I know how much worse it could get. Natural belligerence had already made these jokers dead to me as advisors on any topic, so the deal was completely sealed. These were weapons-grade liars. I rummaged around and eventually found TES, EGM, and others who’ve been far better advisors than 3-letter agencies that clearly need to be dismantled. If the price for being wrong is not paid, more wrong is on the way.
Here's the video of Brix saying it:

Wow, thanks! Directive released by CDC March 24, 2020 bottom of page:

Game over for meaningful data collection. Of course that’s the last thing they wanted.
I meant the spelling--'callous'; not 'callus'
callous?
thanks for the spell check, Ya, callous ... ipad, spell check, excuses.
Death of a 20 year old can be considered a tragedy. Of a 103 year old is a celebration. Using statistics is an exercise in removal of life from a death.
Despite purpose of my comment re spelling, I fully agree with your point. Parents died at 91 and almost 97; I had no sorrow as they had experienced long, full lives. Husband's parents same. But anyone under 40 (just to choose a number), then, oh, the pain!
Thank and I appreciate your catch on spelling but for some reason I couldn’t activate the edit button.
Wholeheartedly agree, as I lost my older sister at 64 and consider that a tragedy. My father, at 91 had a touch of dementia and my mother was permanently on oxygen at 93. I consider those blessing and now, past 75 say, cherish the memories. Let them rest in peace.
Everything I need to know I learn at kittengarten. Though I'm told it should be Kätzschengarten.

This is America, Friend. We say "Gato" 'round these parts.
Gatitojardín, perhaps?
Gracias por la risa.
¡Sì!
In this world, there are two types of people: those who agree with me, and those who are wrong. Purrrrrr............................
So, just like Bacon Lovers!
mmm 🥓
Public shaming to.the ones who didn't know but went along with so much hubris and bruhaha. Rotten eggs and old food should be thrown at them in a public square at the very least. Put Schwarzenegger there too. " screw your freedoms" ???
You should post that on Surowieki's twatter account, but I suppose you have been blocked, haven't you?
