Amen. This is the correct outlook. The Biden presidency, and his campaign leading upto it, have been marked by unforced errors. Just when Trump, not my favorite analyst of anything on a good day, but... he did smell a rat with Fauci and started to sideline him. Team Biden made their first unforced error by adopting the handling of the Coroncavirus their campaign mascot. The second unforced error was the second coming of Fauci, which they promised early on, all the while blatantly ignoring the sane advice from a.o. The Great Barrington Declaration. The 100-day Masked Man Joe Show was the third unforced error, and with the promotion of an experimental vaccine under and EUA as "safe and effective," never mind mandatory in any way, we entered a realm of criminality under the Nuremberg Code. Another round of lockdowns against by now overwhelming evidence that lockdowns have never worked anywhere would produce a rousing finale of utter political chaos, for nobody, but nobody can ignore or deny the quiet testimony of Sweden that came through all this with minimum fuss.

Clearly, by a careful analysis of the stats, we have a comorbidity problem, more so than a virus problem. For it's the comorbidities that drive the bad outcomes. With credit to prof. Sucharit Bhakdi, for healthy people under seventy, you could not even prove to statistical significance that they would reduce their risk with vaccination, even if there were NO side effects. Comorbidities more so than even age per se are the drivers of the bad outcomes.

And, for over a year, so many citizens with manageable comorbidities (overweight, type 2 diabetes, smoking) did nothing to improve their chances other than to put all their faith in the vaccines (that turn out to be moderately helpful TREATMENTS, not true vaccines). All along, the focus should have been to protect the vulnerable and so many were failed by government systems that were supposed to provide science-based healthcare advice.

Exactly. How much better would our outcomes be if government had simply 'mandated' an hour-long walk in the sunshine on days it was possible?

nicotine better study support than masks.

no irony, two studies from 1970's.... mice infected with viruses two groups one w/nicotine one w/o.... mice w/ nicotine statistically better than w/o

three observations on c19: 2 smokers seemed better off, third different.
