If even 1% of those were false claims then that would make 6,000 false claims; it shouldn't be too hard to provide links to a few hundred, right?
There ma y be a big difference in determining how to separate the death certificates between "false claims," "with" Covid, and "because of" Covid but in the end that's just a distraction. Whichever bin the death certificates fall into, there are still about 600,000 more death certificates associated with Covid and the number is climbing daily. Let's wait to argue about "primary cause" or "contributing factor" or "hanging chads" until after the daily death numbers drop to fewer than 100.
hey, 99% sounds better. If your electricity was 99% reliable that would mean you only had a total outage about four times per year or 100 hours per year. Nothing wrong with that, it's about 99% reliable. Four days without heat in the winter? That's okay, it's 99%
99% survival rate. The published numbers show that to be more like 98% in the US but reliable. 100 hours without power for the oxygen machine? That's okay, it's still 99% reliable.
A traffic light at a four-way intersection might have a three-minute cycle time; every three minutes it switches from red to green or from green to red. 20 times per hour, about 500 times per day. If the light was about 99% reliable then only five times per day would bot that five times every day the cross traffic had a green light too? That's 99% reliable.h directions have a green light at the same time. Normally, you see a green light and drive through the intersection without any thought. How would that change if you knew
I have had the flu and didn't like it. I wasn't hospitalized but I was uncomfortable enough that I don't want the symptoms again. I now get a flu shot along with many others. The CDC estimates that during the 2018-2019 flu season there were 35M cases with 34,200 deaths. There have been four million fewer documented Covid cases and 16 times more deaths. Maybe the question isn't why we would do all this for a virus that has a 99% survival rate (if that were even accurate); maybe the question should be why wouldn't we do this for a virus that is 16 times deadlier than the flu? |
99% survival rate...Yes, I see your point...so...let's see: you mention electricity. Let's say 99% of people who have electricity in their house never get electrical shocks, but that leaves 1%, so maybe you should not use any electricity. You may get some sort of phantom voltage shock, it happens.
Next you bring up traffic...let's say 99% of folks driving in traffic don't get in an accident, but that still leaves 1%. The next time you are out on the road you could lose you life in a traffic accident. So maybe you better stop driving, you never know do you?
I also had the flu, once in my life, and I was very uncomfortable. I did not get the flu shot.
ALL OF LIFE is a risk. We start dying the moment we are born. Maybe the question should be: Why not just follow the crowd and do as we instructed, it's so much easier doing that than it is thinking for yourself.
