As U.S. Covid Deaths Near 800,000, 1 of Every 100 Older Americans Has Perished - the new york times

In other words, 99 out of 100 are still alive, and enjoying the holiday season.

Colleague #2: I don't believe evidence exists that the vaccines prevent spread. I think they show the opposite at both the household and the local, state and national levels. (I can find them if you're interested.)

They are among the most vaccinated groups, but people 65 and older make up about three-quarters of the nation's coronavirus death toll.

Older people have always been the highest risk group to die of respiratory ailments. To put it more in perspective check out the flu/influenza stats the past year: https://www.today.com/health/flu-season-2020-2021-flu-activity-historic-lows-mask-wearing-t207131
Essentially, the same number of people have died of respiratory ailments (including Covid) as any other year, it's just that most of those deaths are now being attributed to Covid. Now I could see how mask wearing and better hygiene could reduce the incidence of respiratory disease but for the numbers to plummet so low doesn't seem right. There are a 100 different virus, bacteria and germs that can cause a respiratory illness and some of them are always present in our bodies. Then when you get old enough your bodies immune system collapses and you can get sick with a fatal respiratory illness, regardless of whether you have been exposed.

I've long looked at this politically since what matters most to me is freedom from government coercion -- so I'm reluctant to discuss COVID in an epidemiological way, since that has not mattered, and it appears it will never matter.

But the cases and deaths are both (to say the least) questionable parts of the whole 'pandemic' -- basically a case is a positive test, and the tests, both PCR and Ab, are known to be unreliable; I've seen countless reports of people who've tested positive but have/report no symptoms of illness -- more or less the same is true for deaths.

They want to cement the importance of an all-controlling government into your consciousness, and bludgeon you into submitting via constant fear-mongering.

My feeling about this gets worse and worse all the time -- they are not going to stop -- it's looking like masks and waves and variants and boosters forever, and I don't see mass non-compliance on the horizon.

During any single year about 2.5 million to 3.0 million Americans perish anyhow. A significant percentage of them seniors. Take that into context.

I have seen several reports that all-cause mortality INCREASED among the Covid vaxxed. I have also seen a study that showed that flu vaccines may reduce chances of getting flu but INCREASE chances of getting other respiratory diseases. Robert Kennedy--the author of the new book on Fauci--said there are 6 studies which showed the same thing. And most of those who died from Covid had a flu vaccine. Having read about this I decided not to get a flu vaccine in 2020 and do not plan on getting one in the future. This explains why so many said they got flu after getting the flu vaccine--the flu vaccine evidently made them more vulnerable to one of the many other respiratory diseases. I predict the Covid vax will make a great many fall prey to disease this winter--either from Covid, flu, or some other disease. At the very least, take 4,000 IU or more of Vitamin D3 each day. Most who end up in intensive care have low levels of Vitamin D3. If the government actually cared about saving Americans they would be spreading the word about Vitamin D3--instead of worthless mask mandates, lockdowns, and killer vaccinations.
