Kind of weird calling these ineffective when they have prevented well over 500,000 American lives.

Well, I suppose if you don't place any value on 500,000 American lives then your comment would make sense.

Purely due to how they classify COVID deaths. COVID is becoming as common as the common cold (and about as virulent). Most don't even know they have it, but hospitals all test for it upon admission. So many normal, everyday deaths are classified as COVID deaths because normal everyday people who are dying happen to test positive for COVID when they are admitted to the hospital.

It's pretty cool that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about but you state your ignorance with great confidence.

"Assigning a cause of death is never straightforward, but data on excess deaths suggest coronavirus death tolls are likely an underestimate"

Did you know that California has a higher excess death rate than Florida from 2020-present? Just saying.

cold/flu viruses have long been a leading "cause of death" for people already dying of an average 4 comorbidities. The only change is there was no massive testing program or protocol to blame it on the virus instead of the other illnesses.

Google 'excess deaths'

As you've been told about a million times, "excess" deaths don't inform you of the cause.

The premise of "excess" deaths has been strongly challenged. One more stat manipulated by fearmongers to convince the people that a horrible plague is killing everyone.

Old people can get pneumonia and die from a cold or flu. That's how it's always been, until the freakout artists got to it.

You've had 2 1/2 years and your "efforts" failed.

Says the cowardly libertarian who does nothing for society, but will show up in my ER begging for life saving covid meds. No way you live with another person.

People act like acute illness and not dying are the only covid outcomes, but there are plenty of hints of long-term issues that people would probably rather not have. Given how new covid is, relatively speaking, people's blase' feelings about long-term outcomes may be unfortunate (hope I'm wrong).

"Our results show that in the postacute phase of COVID-19, there was increased risk of an array of incident neurologic sequelae including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, cognition and memory disorders, peripheral nervous system disorders, episodic disorders (for example, migraine and seizures), extrapyramidal and movement disorders, mental health disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, sensory disorders, Guillain–Barré syndrome, and encephalitis or encephalopathy. ... Taken together, our results provide evidence of increased risk of long-term neurologic disorders in people who had COVID-19."

If Wu Flu is a long-term killer, it'll be because of all the drones that mindlessly took the vaxx and boosters for something that wasn't going to kill them in the first place. The lifetime of a weakened immune system due to the mRNA experiment will likely kill off many people long before they should have died.
