Not saying covid isn't real. It is. And it's mortality is no different than the common cold. Hence why you saw only an increase in deaths of very old people. Look into the data a little more. People weren't dropping dead. Old people who are immunocompromised died
COVID's mortality is no different than the common cold. But millions of folks (mostly elderly and immunocompromised) died from COVID who would not have died from the common cold.
Good thinking there, Chief!
Wrong. People die from the cold every year. It's a coronavirus, just like covid
There is no evidence that covid is more mild or would be more mild because of the vaccine. It's complete conjecture. And I'm not talking about studies that have come out recently, I'm talking about at the time they made these claims. I know this because this is my job to follow vaccines and infectious diseases
I think that you mean that there is no evidence that covid is more mild because of the vaccine except for the fact that the mortality rate across all age groups is 11x lower for those with the vaccine than for those unvaccinated.
Good point, chief!
Do you just make stuff up? This is not true. I understand this has become a religion to you but what if your religion is wrong? Let's take a hypothetical here, what if covid was bioengineered to rig an election, is extremely mild, and the vaccine doesn't work. And what if the powers that be confessed to this. What would happen? Now before we dive into that I'm not going to do the opposing hypothetical because the possibility has already played out. Every institution, every corporation, every government has done everything they can to push the narrative you believe in and despite a synchronized global machine, the unvaccinated, which there is a lot of, still don't buy it. They've already played their hand so this hypothetical is not even possible. Now back to the other. Imagine Fauci getting up on a press conference, possibly after some moral regret for his transgressions, admits publicly to all the "conspiracy" theories that I'm sure you're aware of. How would you feel? What would you do? You just spent 3 years attacking people based on propaganda you believed in and it turns out you were wrong. Could you still sleep at night? If you need help with wrapping your head around the idea, I'm sure you're aware of the theory that if aliens come to earth it could quickly destroy Christianity as a religion. This is the same concept, but applied to you and your covid religion. It would only take 1 high level whistleblower to confess this and your entire world collapses. I can only imagine the guilt you would feel having persecuted innocent non believers

While easterners may like a longer summer and shorter winter, the east coast was not built to withstand the kind of rainfall that a warmer and wetter climate will bring. Hardening infrastructure to accommodate greater amounts of storm water is extremely expensive and often land intensive. Flood mitigation strategies like detention/retention ponds, channelizing waterways, and increasing the capacity of storm water sewer systems are extremely expensive retrofits for urban areas and even suburban areas where the price of real estate is very high.
“Life threatening” flash floods are possible, according to the NWS. The agency has issued a flash flood warning for the area downstream from the Fitchville Pond Dam along the Yantic River. Residents are advised to avoid the a...

It has always rained in New England and the amount of rain has fluctuated from year to year.
The dam was built in 1871.
Is it more likely that the problem is the dam being 153 years old or that it's suddenly started raining in New England?
I am originally from New England and have also lived in the south and gulf coast. I still have family in NY and PA. The rain they are now getting in the east is smashing records. Bristol, CT got almost 5 inches of rain in just 12 hours. In January.
A damn can last for centuries if it was built well. There are dams all over the NE that were built in the 1800s that are just as strong today as they were when they were built. The problem is that the dams were built for rainfall patterns that are typical of the NE, not tropical rainfall in a warming climate. NE rivers tend to be shallow and flood easily when tropical amounts of rain fall around them.

The worst flood in Connecticut in the last 100 years was in 1927.
Attributing every single weather event to global warming is absurd.
US government scientists have determined that trained observers living in Africa and South America during the 1950s, consistently misread their thermometers ...

Wow, you found some isolated obscure event, flooding in Connecticut in 1927, and now you think that means something about todays global warming?

Do you read anything at all anywhere?
Mentioning that the worst flood in Connecticut history being in 1927 is pretty relevant when it's in response to a post claiming flooding in Connecticut today is solely because of global warming.

Oh boy! Another thread where a number of posters show a complete lack of empathy and knowledge on ecology, forestry, entomology, saltwater incursion, water management, civil infrastructure, regional economic drivers, statistics, media bias, and more!

FWIW, this is the thread that finally got me to BLOCK TheAdultinTheRoom.
Too bad another thread has been reduced to little more than a stream of his lies and falsehoods.
I have generally just skipped over his/her comments for a long time, though.
