What's your point? To point out that the Republicans didn't care about public health during a pandemic?

The vaccine did nothing to stop the spread or prevent people from getting COVID. We know this now, and the knee-jerk reaction to fire people for choosing not to get it wasn't the right answer.

It’s biggest strength was that it kept the infected from hospitalization and death. Overwhelming the health care system was always the biggest concern.

no, to have enough common sense to not shut down the country over the common cold.

Please show us support for your claim that it was comparable to the common cold during the time period that things were shut down. And I’m not asking for “well I got it and I felt fine” because same here but you don’t see me mistaking anecdotal evidence for mathematically supported data. Sure, maybe now it seems to be comparable to a cold or pneumonia but you cannot support your claim for early on in the pandemic.

yes. Information is out there. hard to find under the suppressed "misinformation" that turns out now, to be true all along.

Go look at excess deaths over that period of time and let me know how you account for the additional 900k deaths.

when you get in a car accident, suicide, overdose, cancer, etc and its all classified as covid, that may be a reason. you should probably look deeper. also, during that period of time there were no reported flu deaths. explain that to me.

So I know we’ve seen reports of deaths where covid is listed when they die in the car accident, and that would make for an okay argument that the covid deaths are inflated. However, it does not explain the number of excess deaths over expected or the increase in deaths over the prior years. If the number or excess deaths were more in the ballpark of 50k (which is high end on flu deaths most years), then you could make the argument that it is no more deadly than the flu, but that number is near a million, and I think we can agree that that would require death rates for all other causes to be abnormally accelerated.

You know this is a Rhode Island sub and Rhode Island does not have a Milwaukee County right?

Previous poster asked for data to support my claim. I provided. Unfortunately we don’t have doctors in RI with enough backbone to speak out. Why??? Have you seen what they’ve been paid. It’s like shooting a gift horse in the mouth.
