I always laugh when I hear people say "The vax saved millions" because only 180,000 were ever at risk. The CDC admitted that the IFR was 0.3% in May of 2020. That is 3 times the seasonal influenza+pneumonia IFR and that takes out 50-60k (max) so at most 180k were at risk.
How can the vax save millions when only 180k were at risk?
Was it though or is it that the rate of death is tiered and it followed that? I remember a paper from a grad student out of Johns Hopkins which seemed to show that covid just followed the normal mortality rate. The paper was quickly retracted but it questioned the pandemic as the number of deaths they looked at didn't seem out of line with the normal death rate. People said that they hadn't tallied in certain deaths which may have been the case but that bit I found interesting. You would get a similar situation where it looks like IFR is increasing with age if you have a test that just lights up some percent of time. You test everyone who died to see if they had covid and voila it will match the death rate. Not suggesting this is the case but have others looked at death rate by age vs covid IFR by age to see if they match?
I guess according to retards like Apoorna there were new cohorts of susceptible individuals magically appearing as time went on (despite the virus also becoming less severe -- another fact contradicting their claims which these people can never explain).

And the IFR was tiered, increasing with age, but that didn't stop the censorship of social media.

Yes, this was always an easy calculation to make.
