And then he gets it, and he says "it wasn't so bad."

As if he doesn't arguably have access to the best healthcare in human existence.

Just downplaying something that's killed thousands and grinded the world to a halt.

Millions. It's killed millions.

I was laughed at a year ago when I said if we dont take it seriously, it will kill millions. And those same people STILL dont take it seriously.

Because most of the people dying are either in other countries. Or old people and minorities who can't afford health care.

Nearly 600k americans have died because of misinformation. That's a pretty grim number when you put it next to the 465k americans who died liberating europe from a regime that killed 6+ million and all they had to do was go through the 20 minute inconvience of getting a vaccine. We're not drafting them and handing them a rifle

More than 600k to be precise. But that's just the official number, my guess is there are a few 10k of deaths that weren't attributed to but were caused by corona.

Way more than that. The most reliable measure is a statistical comparison of deaths across the last 5-10 years. There's been about 1 million "excess deaths" since covid started, the vast majority most likely attributable to it. (This would include people without Covid who died because they couldn't get an ICU bed, for example.)

The true death toll is probably just shy of a million.

I constantly hear the argument that the numbers are inflated and they're including people who had the virus and died due to car wreck or some silly shit like that. While I don't disbelieve there may be places inflating the numbers, there are probably about as many underreporting.

People are so infuriating at this point. I work with a bunch of anti vax folks. They all REALLY love to spout “the flu kills more people” or what ever other dumb shit they think….

Well, wouldn’t you like to NOT be one of the people it kills?

I think them not taking the vaccine spits in the face of every person and every family that has been effected by this. To include the people who have FREAKIN DIED FROM IT!

Nah. Too extreme. I think we should just let hospitals electively discontinue covid-related services to people who are electively unvaccinated in order to make room for other people.

lets you know how wholly unreliable these "patriots" are.

can you imagine going through something like ww2 with these assholes with rations whatnot?

Just having to have nightly blackouts.... Just a sea of lights. "Why do we keep getting bombed? Shit luck I guess. Hey, party at my place! I have fireworks!"

It's not like it's related to healthcare, if it wants to kill you it will... you can be a top athlete with top notch lungs or just same random bum.

u/_Mephistocrates_ 15d ago

Not true at all. The generally unhealthier you are, the more fatal it is. For instance, obese individuals are at much greater fatality risk than non-obese.

Really? All of them died to misinformation? You’ve been reading one too many fictions.
