> In the US, over the last 30 years approximately the same number of people have died "with" COVID as have died "with" the flu. COVID's only been around 1/10th the time.
I don't know about the US numbers, you have a bigger obesity problem and might've had more deaths. But where I'm from one flu season a few years before 2020 was worse and deadlier than any of the years with covid. Here an overwhelming amount of the deaths were people 85 and above, those below are almost a rounding error. Same as the flu.
> Yes, CNN is biased up the wazoo. But at that point it rationally didn't matter the cause, but nipping this in the bud the best we could. The cause, and even lists of potential causes, are important to prevent future patient zeroes.
But it did matter, us so-called conspiracy theorists knew everything about Fauci, Daszak and the Wuhan gain-of-function research from the beginning. We were screaming our lungs out for people to listen but were ridiculed, and WE were blamed for the spread because we knew the vaccine wouldn't prevent transmission and was useless for most people below 50-60.
Given how many people and agencies knew from recent news I wonder how they all kept quiet. How is it even possible if the western countries are democracies? I want indictments and jail time, but I'm not holding my breath. Psychopaths run the world.
