I would ask for clarification of the original post. Does Laker stand by his statement that in 1980 or 2018 there were 80,000 flu deaths and we had a 45% vaccination coverage? If 2018, is 45% of adults in the US about 50 million?
Quote:
So the “regular” flu in 1980 killed 80,000 Americans according to the CDC. And this is with 45% of the adult population having been vaccinated. So conservatively 50 million people vaccinated.
Does Laker claim the CDC is inflating COVID deaths by including deaths where doctors and coroners did not list COVID as one of the factors in the death?
Quote:
the CDC is trying to inflate [corona deaths] by counting people who die at home.
Does Laker claim that the CDC only included as a flu death one with a positive influenza test and where the death certificate listed Influenza as the primary cause of death?

Quote:
If we apply that same logic to the 2018 flu deaths then you would be over 100,000 deaths from the “regular “ flu.
I've never used the word "sheeple" Does it mean people who blindly accept lies and follow them as if they were as foolish as sheep showing no skills in critical thinking?

There is a reason the word “sheeple” was invented
