American life expectancy was already bad. Under Covid and the anti-vaccine movement, it's cratered.

So, in 40 years when COVID is still running rampant because 'COVID fEaRz!!', you gonna be saying the same thing??

​

yup
I already said my piece in another covid thread.

outside of old people the chances of dying from this shyt is very small.

10% of Americans have diabetes
1 in 3 has pre diabetes

thats the real epidemic

quit with the sugar/carbs

Still higher than most black nations in the world

Y'all be aight

This is the whitest comment I've read in a long time...

Who are your people and where are you from?

First, that's not entirely true. For multiple months during the pandemic, Covid was the leading cause of death for Black Americans 25-44. Overall, more than 70,000 Americana in their 20s, 30s, and 40s died of Covid, another 200,000 died who were 50-64, and both of those are likely serious undercounts.

Second, there are serious consequences even for those who don't die. Hospitalization is no joke, and long Covid has impacted millions of people. Just saying, "If you survive you're fine" is a ridiculous way to look at it.

We've already established from numerous discussions that you don't have a fukking clue what any experts are saying on any topic. You have never done the least research on any issue, you just emote your general impressions from this that you see on social media or cable TV.

So don't go around telling people what scientists are saying when you have ZERO knowledge on it.

Covid will always be an epidemic virus — not an endemic one, scientist warns

Covid-19 will never become an endemic illness and will always behave like an epidemic virus, an expert in biosecurity has warned.

Covid-19 will never become an endemic illness and will always behave like an epidemic virus, an expert in biosecurity has warned.

Raina MacIntyre, a professor of global biosecurity at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, told CNBC that although endemic disease can occur in very large numbers, the number of cases does not change rapidly as seen with the coronavirus.

“If case numbers do change [with an endemic disease], it is slowly, typically over years,” she said via email. “Epidemic diseases, on the other hand, rise rapidly over periods of days to weeks.”

“Covid will not magically turn into a malaria-like endemic infection where levels stay constant for long periods,” she contended. “It will keep causing epidemic waves, driven by waning vaccine immunity, new variants that escape vaccine protection, unvaccinated pockets, births and migration.”

That's because the fear mongering "scientists" are too busy preaching the effects of the vaccine 40 years from now instead.

Well, you did assume he was only talking about "Black nations" (and perhaps he was). But I'd bet the life expectancy for a Black person in Cuba is higher than it is in the USA. It's probably higher in most western European nations as well.

You comparing a group of American people to 3rd world countries and not more comparable nations says it all.

I didn't compare an America people to Third World countries.

Your response, however, is telling.

Diabetes and how flabby and sick Americans are

The government is everyones best friend, they'd never artificially inflate statistics to make deaths fit a narrative. Trust the science. Stay safe!

"Conspiracy via possibility" is such an idiotic argument. The fact that you can imagine it happening doesn't mean that it happened, it just means you have an active imagination. You don't have the slightest evidence that death counts are inflated and, in fact, every bit of evidence points to the reality that Covid deaths have been massively undercounted.

Raw death counts show that Covid deaths have been heavily underreported, not inflated. Total excess deaths are around 30% higher than can be accounted for by reported Covid deaths, and the extra unattributed deaths perfectly peak at the exact same times that Covid deaths peak. Which makes sense because not every dying person got tested for Covid, especially in conservative states or if the death was relatively sudden. We know that death counts for every major infectious disease are always undercounted, which is why the counts for seasonal flu are always an estimate, they never rely on the flu death count which is actually far smaller.

The government can't fake death certificates. Every single one is tied to a real person with a real identity, and those are publicly reported from the county level and then compiled by individual state health departments. No single person or entity is in charge of those statistics at all, so who the hell could "artificially inflate" deaths in America? If there was a strangely high count at the state level, you could see exactly which counties were inflating the count, and then look at exactly which hospitals and mortuaries had caused the spike and check their death certificates to see if they were legitimate. But there's been no such discrepancies, the death counts have been high EVERYWHERE, and they're the highest in the red, conservative states with the governors who are doing the most to downplay the virus and claim it's not a big deal.

Of course, this is just for the benefit of the other people out there. I don't believe for a moment that you'll read it or that it will change your view, because that would require you to prioritize outside reality over the shyt that goes on inside your own head, and you don't appear ready to do that yet.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Not as idiotic as believing the party line and defending it with your life when they've proved again and again they want you dead and hate your flesh.

Were that the case 'they' wouldn't have created safe and effective vaccines and distributed them for free to Black people.

We aren't dying en masse from them, so, what's 'they're' next plan since this one failed?​
