Good. I also asked you what a war-crime was first and you keep asking me when you can't define it.

TotallyWorthlessJack
Seriously, whether drunk or sober, Jack's posting history is a decade's long display of angry trolling and basic idiocy. That's it. Nothing positive, no insights, nothing contributed of any value. I have no idea why any of us ever engage him.
Ignore - On.
Double good. Ted told you a week ago to ignore me. It's been nice not having to directly deal with his idiotic replies anymore. But we all know that you won't be able to control yourself. This is far from the first time that you said you were going to ignore my posts and you never follow through on that.
As for not having anything of value to add, we both know that this is not true either. There is a very long history of threads where you come in and give your stupid take on something and I eviscerate it.
You abandon 90% of the conversations that you engage in.

GOP megadonor's lawyers say he can't stand trial for $2 billion tax fraud because COVID accelerated his dementia
April 13, 2022 -- Robert Brockman, the billionaire software tycoon accused of masterminding the largest tax fraud scheme in the history of the United States, is not competent to stand trial — because of COVID-19 says his lawyers.
The billionaire was indicted in 2020 on 39 counts, including wire fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering, over allegations that he participated in 'a scheme to conceal approximately $2 billion in income from the IRS as well as a scheme to defraud investors' in his software company, the Department of Justice said at the time. The indictment claimed that Brockman utilized a labyrinth of offshore entities in Bermuda and Nevis and sent 'untaxed capital gains income to secret bank accounts in Bermuda and Switzerland.'
https://www.rawstory.com/robert-brockman/
Not that Brockman would pay much, 3.4%, but he wanted to pay zero dollars by cheating: Between 2014 and 2018, the 25 wealthiest Americans collectively earned $401bn, but paid just $13.6bn – about 3.4% of that – in taxes, according to a bombshell ProPublica investigation into the finances of the wealthiest Americans released on Wednesday.

Quote:Robert Brockman is a multi-billionaire Republican. A long time ago I realized that Vietnam-War-supporting-Republicans were out-of-their-minds. It was not that they had different political values than Democrats. It was that they were crazy. Since the war is over, Republicans have found many other things to go crazy over -- abortion, police, guns, books, race, immigrants, border walls, religion -- Republicans are crazy about it.

Brockman didn't have to catch a disease to go crazy. He was already there and it had been obvious for years. Trump didn't have to catch Covid, although he did and was hospitalized. He was already crazy and that had been obvious for years. Just reading one his old business books would tell you Trump was crazy. Knowing how many times he has been in court tells you he was crazy.
The not-so-funny part is that crazy isn't an all or nothing characteristic. It can get worse with time and it certainly has with the Trump voters I know who didn't get vaccinated and probably did get Covid fever. Those Republicans are more erratic now than two years ago. Their brain damage is showing up in their performance at work and in their marriages falling apart and even in their financial health. Crazy people have problems that sane people don't and the people with the most problems in the external world, and inside their heads, are Trump voters.

Quote:6ix, how many teeth do you have in your head? Like six teeth left? I have all 32 teeth, including wisdom teeth. My sisters, who ate and drank what I did, and went to the same dentist, have all their teeth, no cavities. My parents and grandparents were missing many teeth, so the perfect teeth of the children is not hereditary. Our teeth are good because of the way we live, because of the knowledge of how to live. Knowledge can be passed around but teeth can't.

I have noticed that the kind of people who vote for Trump don't know how to live. This even extends to my in-laws and relatives -- the Trump voters have difficult lives and they can't understand why. They lack knowledge, although they are always bragging about how much they know, but their lives are full of dramas, heartbreaks, difficulties in family, work, finances and health because they don't know how to live. It is very much like keeping all your teeth. Trump voters don't do what they should to avoid drama, or more mundanely, keep their teeth.
6ix, no matter who wins in November, I am keeping all my teeth and everything that is mine will grow better, without any dramas, while you will still be missing most of your teeth because you and others of your ilk don't know what you are doing about government or anything else and you won't learn because you already are sure you know it all. Taking control of the US government will not fix what is wrong with you, 6ix, nor will it return your pulled out rotten teeth.

The drug that aksidently spawned the Reaverz that wuz revealed in Serenity wuz called Pax, short for Paxilon Hydrochlorate.
If I test pozitiv, I am exactly 23.41% less likely to take the drug due to this.

New generation of cancer-preventing vaccines could wipe out tumors before they form
Shots enter early clinical trials for healthy people at high risk for disease
Another proponent of a universal cancer prevention vaccine is Johns Hopkins cancer geneticist Bert Vogelstein. He notes that sequencing has shown “a relatively small number of genes are involved in most cancers,” suggesting a limited number of antigens could lead to broad protection. Such a vaccine “seems like science fiction,” Vogelstein says, but “a concerted effort by many labs” might succeed. Sei agrees: “That’s not crazy. That’s possible.”

Has nothing at all to do with Covid-19.
In any event, by all means... you can be the test subject for that one too.

Quote:I was expecting a reaction from you, but you didn't give me exactly the one I expected, which was "a vaccine against cancer will give you mudbloods cancer. I won't be experimented upon." There actually are vaccines that prevent cancer -- HPV for one example -- but a general vaccine for multi-cancers isn't yet available, except for dogs:

One team is already testing a multi-cancer prevention vaccine—not yet in people, but in dogs. In a 5-year trial, a team is giving 400 middle-age dogs a vaccine that contains 31 antigens from eight common dog cancers. (Another 400 dogs are getting a placebo vaccine.) It relies on RNA neoantigens, little-studied molecules that result from RNA processing errors rather than mutations in DNA. They are far more abundant than DNA neoantigens in dogs and people, and are “highly immunogenic,” says developer and biochemist Stephen Johnston of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, Tempe. If they prove effective, they might make it easier to reach the White House’s goal of developing a pan-cancer human vaccine, he says.

That's more or less what I did say. You got the gist.
Good luck to you. I'm sure that your health and well being are on the top of their priority list, and that the FDA branch of Pfizer would let you know IMMEDIATELY if something were to go wrong and wouldn't attempt to hide the studies from you for 75 years through bureaucratic red tape.
No sir. They would never do that.

ETA: In case you're not catching what I'm throwing here, 80% of the people who are alive on the planet today would be dead before the last batch of the FDA's 450,000 pages of documents on Pfizer's vaccine were released to the public. No doubt they would have saved the absolute spiciest 500 pages for release in 2097.
Assuming, of course, Climate Change or Covid-20 or Putin's Nukes haven't wiped us all out long before then.

I figured I'd do you a service and post this here since the US Media is refusing to cover it.

Quote:
Examining those subjects who had been jabbed, the team found that the likelihood of developing myocarditis was higher following a second dose of coronavirus vaccine.
Specifically, the risk appeared to increase by 75 percent with the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine, and 557 percent with the Moderna vaccine.
Moreover, the team found that myocarditis risk following two jabs was highest for young men between 16–24 years of age.
(Remember when they told us that either or was exactly the same? If it seems like only yesterday that's because yeah... it pretty much was).
Some countries are now outright stopping vaccinations for anyone under 18, while others are only allowing those under 30 years old to only be vaccinated with Pfizer's vaccine.
(Remember when they mandated everyone over 12 get the shot and were pushing hard for FDA approval of shots for children under 5? If it seems like only yesterday that's because yeah... it pretty much was).
If you were an adult who willingly took this, whatever the results end up being is on you. I do, however, feel extremely bad for anyone who's life and livelihood and who's families' lives and livelihood were held hostage by the current Administration*'s mandate and did not risk losing your jobs only to find out a few months later we weren't doing that anymore.
But may those of you who put this into your kids while everyone is still a test subject have a bad night sleep every night for the rest of your lives.
Hopefully everyone lives long enough to make a teachable moment out of this if nothing else.

Here's a little secret: Vitamin D is much more effectively created by your own body through exposure to sunlight than it is absorbed with supplements.
Here's another little secret: By making people stay indoors for 2 years, our own Government and the CDC was (likely knowingly) making people sick.
Oh, and save showing me any articles about how we "can't get enough vitamin D from sunlight AND food." I've seen them already. They're junk science. Human beings were doing just fine before somebody made pills. Drink some milk.

Quote:Neither. People who think they were harmed by vaccines will do nothing. Instead, somebody who thinks they can collect 50% of the damages, Erin Brockovich for example, will stage a dramatic public display of anger and ram the case through the courts. Erin and her lawyer partners made more money than all the "injured" parties added together because the "injured" were apathetic poor white trash.

Nah. Tucker Carlson is going to make almost twice what I made in my best year today.
It will take me 767 weeks or 14.75237 years to spend what Tucker Carlson will make today.
I mean, not really because of Biden*flation. Probably at least 10 years though, unless things start getting REALLY bad in the next 2.5 years.

According to an analysis released by Brown University this month, nearly 320,000 lives nationwide could have been saved if more people had chosen to get vaccinated.
National Public Radio examined deaths from COVID-19 per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the country from May 2021, a time when most Americans could obtain vaccines. Those living in counties that voted 60% or higher for Trump in 2020 had 2.26 times the death rate of counties that voted in comparable percentages for Biden, NPR reported.
Counties with a higher share of Trump votes had even higher mortality rates.
While COVID-19 death rates in regions are affected by several factors, including things like wealth and access to health care, death rates closely followed rates of vaccinations, which Republican lawmakers, activists and media personalities often railed against. Not only did they urge people not to get the vaccine, but often spread frightening disinformation about the vaccines.

Xi’s worst mistake was doubling down on his zero-COVID policy.
The continuing lockdowns have had disastrous consequences, pushing the Chinese economy into a free fall since March. In April, the nationwide highway logistics index, which measures road haulage across China, dropped to 70% of its level one year ago. For Shanghai alone, the highway logistics index has dropped to 17% of its year-earlier level. With over 80% of total freight volume carried by trucks in China, these numbers point to a near-collapse of domestic commercial shipping.
Moreover, the Caixin Composite PMI index, which uses data collected from some 400 companies to track private-sector business trends in China – including sales, new orders, employment, inventories, and prices – fell to 37.2, from 43.9 in March. When the PMI’s value is below 50, the economy is shrinking. China’s steeply declining economic activity is bound to have global consequences but, at least thus far, preparations for this have been scant.
These negative results will continue to gather momentum until Xi reverses course. The damage will be so great that it will affect the global economy. With the disruption of supply chains, global inflation is liable to turn into global depression.

Top four recommendations:
Note that ACH stands for air changes per hour — or the equivalent eACH. Ventilation is good, and it's something we should focus on in the short term, but various forms of UV radiation, either in rooms or in ducts, have the potential to be spectacular.
4. Open windows. Also open the door and use a fan to push air from the window and out the door. It will be a lot of flow. The main problem is it can't be done when it's cold outside. It's difficult to calculate the exact flow from windows to assign a number for ACH.
3. Ventilation Improvements. Good ventilation can provide between 3 to 6 ACH. All the previously mentioned strategies are inferior to having a building with good ventilation. I can't overstate the importance of investing in upgrading ventilation.
2. Upper Room UVGI — the real deal. It can add 12 to 24 eACH. It reduced measles outbreaks by 75%. If we want to go all out on mitigating airborne spread, this technology is needed.
1. Far UV. I've seen estimates between 10 to 300+ eACH. This technology isn't widespread yet and still expensive, but it could be a game changer moving forward.

Yeah. I watched him say that.
I said last year that he'd disappear by the end of summer, and it looked like it was much earlier than that. I'm actually kind of surprised that Democrats even allowed him to surface again, but it's far enough away from the election that dumb people won't even remember it two weeks after he disappears again.

The COVID Cult Did Lasting Damage to Our Kids
New ‘discoveries’ of the harm caused by school closures are as disingenuous and politically motivated as the original policies themselves

Quote:
While Dr. Noble’s early concerns were dismissed, today there is no shortage of articles and studies documenting the harm caused by COVID-19 school policies over the past two and a half years. The number of ER visits in 2021 by adolescent girls for suspected suicide attempts was 51% higher than during the same period in early 2019. Skyrocketing violence statistics involving young men, including a spate of shootings, may also be traceable to mental illnesses exacerbated by the enforced isolation of COVID-19.
There can be little question that closures permanently altered the relationship of many students to school. One survey found that the rate of chronically absent students nationwide is now 22%, 2.7 times what it was before school closures. In New York City, 4 out of 10 students are now chronically absent; in Los Angeles nearly half of all students are chronically absent. These statistics indicate an instructional system that in many cases has simply ceased to function.
I told you so.

If the CDC is curious as to why people aren't listening to its recommendations, it should consider how it bypassed experts to put the matter before a Kangaroo court of like-minded loyalists. The Biden administration should insist that we return to the standard process of putting all major vaccine decisions before a vote of the FDA's leading vaccine experts.
The Biden administration promised to listen to the scientists. But the truth is, it only seems to listen to the ones who say what it wants to hear.

Nope. That's not it.
Democrats have an election to lose in November.
Faking Covid deaths and putting them up front and center in the Legacy Media like they did for two straight years is not a good strategy when every single other issue that Americans actually care about are already going to see them get destroyed.
They're going to keep pandering to asswipes like you though and harp on and on about Russia and Ukraine and their fake January 6th bullshit.
That's not going to help them either. America has tuned out. The only ones listening to any of that anymore are the ones who would never have voted against Biden* in a million years. Mostly rich white people.

Republican lawmakers are united against Scientific American, which wrote
Universal Health Care Could Have Saved More Than 330,000 U.S. Lives during COVID
The numbers of lives lost and dollars spent would have been significantly lower if coverage had been extended to everyone, a new study says: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2200536119
Americans spend more on health care than people in any other nation. Yet in any given year, the piecemeal nature of the American medical insurance system causes many preventable deaths and unnecessary costs. Not surprisingly, COVID-19 only exacerbated this already dire public health issue, as evidenced by the U.S.’s elevated mortality, compared with that of other high-income countries.
A new study quantifies the severity of the impact of the pandemic on Americans who did not have access to health insurance. According to findings published on Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, from the pandemic’s beginning until mid-March 2022, universal health care could have saved more than 338,000 lives from COVID-19 alone. The U.S. also could have saved $105.6 billion in health care costs associated with hospitalizations from the disease—on top of the estimated $438 billion that could be saved in a nonpandemic year.
“Health care reform is long overdue in the U.S.,” says the study’s lead author Alison Galvani, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analysis at the Yale School of Public Health. “Americans are needlessly losing lives and money.”

A federal appeals court on Monday upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging Houston Methodist’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which last year thrust the hospital into the national spotlight as the first healthcare system in the U.S. to require the shots for its employees.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of 117 Houston Methodist employees who refused to abide by the policy, was dismissed in June 2021 by U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes, who at the time decried arguments comparing the requirement to those made under Nazi Germany.
In its opinion, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals said it affirmed the original ruling “because plaintiffs do not demonstrate any error in the district court’s judgment on the arguments made in that court but instead make an entirely new argument on appeal.” -- https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/unpub/21/21-20311.0.pdf
The plaintiffs’ attorney, Jared Woodfill, said “this battle is far from over.”
“We believe employment should not be conditioned on your willingness to take an experimental shot,” he said in an email to the Chronicle. “During oral argument, the court indicated that one way to potentially address this case of first impression is to take it back to state court. We will pursue every legal avenue available to our clients, including taking this case to the United States Supreme Court.”
Woodfill added that a “companion case” has been filed in Harris County, though records of that lawsuit could not be found by press time.
Houston Methodist announced its mandate April 1, requiring employees to be fully vaccinated with a one- or two-dose series or request a medical or religious exemption. Protests ensued among a small group of hospital workers. Those who did not receive a vaccine or a religious exemption were first suspended and eventually fired.
In the end, 153 employees out of roughly 25,000 in the hospital system were either terminated or resigned. Many Texas Medical Center institutions have since implemented their own mandates.
Jennifer Bridges, a former nurse at Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital, was among the most vocal opponents of the mandate and the lead plaintiff in the federal lawsuit. She previously described the plaintiffs as “a mix of those who want more trial data to emerge on the long-term effects of the vaccine before taking it, and those who simply don’t want any shots,” according to earlier reports.
The lawsuit brought three separate claims of wrongful termination, alleging violations of state and federal law. In their appeal, the plaintiffs “pivoted” from focusing on the federal law violations to state law, the appeals court notes in its opinion.
The plaintiffs “now even equivocate on whether federal law supports their claim,” according to the opinion. “Federal law does not, and the district court did not err in dismissing plaintiffs’ claim.”

That's an entirely different argument. One that I might not be so quick to argue with you about.

Bullshit. Period.
Think of all the awful things that the Democrats have managed to do in the last year and a half without Republican support, and how many times they've found legal loopholes to get around the fact they don't have a filibuster proof majority.
Then think about how they failed to raise the minimum wage or do a fucking thing about healthcare.
You will have a long time to think about that, since it is the last time you're ever going to see Democrats in power in your lifetime.

Politicians don’t want to talk about Covid-19 anymore. But it’s still influencing voters.
The pandemic is still having enormous, if subtle, influence on American politics. Inflation — a crisis that began with supply-chain and workforce issues caused by Covid-19 and was likely amplified by some aspects of the US relief legislation — is the No. 1 issue for US voters right now. Murders and drug overdose deaths began rising during the pandemic, souring the public’s mood on the country’s future and presaging a difficult campaign for the party in power.
“It’s been so extensive that you just don’t notice it,” John Gasper, an economics professor at Carnegie Mellon University who has studied the effect of prior natural disasters on political behavior, said. “People are sick of blaming Covid for a lot of things. Politicians don’t want to keep talking about Covid.”
Much of the Republicans’ voter base has been skeptical of Covid-19’s significance for a while, giving their candidates little reason to focus on it.
The exception is the hard-right candidates who oppose public health interventions to slow down the pandemic. Certain Republicans continue to make clear their opposition to mask or vaccine mandates and other measures, even though those restrictions have been lifted almost everywhere.
That bizarre reality — in which the pandemic that killed 1 million people is being most effectively politicized by the people who opposed the response to it — reflects the unusual nature of Covid-19 as a political event. It started as something akin to a natural disaster: disruptive, but not something that sticks in voters’ memory. But, unlike most hurricanes or tornados, the pandemic wasn’t over within a relatively short time. It lasted years — long enough to evolve into a political wedge issue that candidates use to stir up their most strident supporters.
“Covid has transformed from a disaster to ... fodder or kindling for the ongoing culture war,” Gasper said. “It’s one more thing to stoke the fire in order to feed your base.”
Even though Trump himself tried to counter vaccine skepticism, many of his favored candidates have continued to run very publicly on their opposition to not only vaccine mandates but to getting vaccinated at all.
It fits into the general themes of distrusting experts and institutions that have been a hallmark of Republican campaigns for a long time now, most notably during Trump’s rise to the presidency. Those with anti-establishment attitudes attack health experts.
Republicans politicians placed themselves in opposition to health experts as a way of indicating they are on the side of their own voters -- angry poor white trash, who are about 100 million out of a population of 330 million. 75 million voted for Trump.

Wealth inequality in the United States
6ix, stop insisting you are wise & thrifty when you are really only poor. Start looking at the people who vote for Trump as they truly are: angry poor white trash, some with guns so that they don't feel like complete nothings, but rather powerful and free, like Mal and Zoe and Jayne. Predictably, their life on Serenity was one struggle after another.

COVID is far from solved. The coronavirus is still mutating. Even at one of the lowest death rates of the pandemic, it still claims the lives of hundreds of Americans daily, killing more than twice as many people as die, on average, in car accidents.
“Take it from a tuberculosis activist that you can lose political will, public attention, and scientific momentum and still have a disease that kills over a million people each year,” said Mike Frick of the Treatment Action Group. “We’re seeing the TB-ification of COVID start.” https://www.who.int/news/item/14-10-2021-tuberculosis-deaths-rise-for-
the-first-time-in-more-than-a-decade-due-to-the-covid-19-pandemic
The entire health-care system is now perpetually overburdened and unable to provide its former standard of care. People are still being disabled by long COVID, often without ever landing in the hospital.
Local officials, community organizers, and grassroots groups are swimming furiously against the tide of governmental apathy to push some pandemic response forward, even if incrementally. The late Paul Farmer, who devoted his life to providing health care to the world’s poorest people, understood that when doing such work, victories would be hard-won, if ever won at all. Referencing a line from The Lord of the Rings, he once said, “I have fought the long defeat.” In the third year of the COVID pandemic, that fight will determine how America fares against the variants and viruses still to come.
In a study of 177 countries, people’s level of trust — in the government and especially in one another — predicted COVID infection rates and vaccine uptake. In America, trust is in short supply, and accordingly, the country has underperformed throughout the pandemic despite its considerable resources. This problem is getting worse: A poll from January found that only 44 percent of respondents trusted the CDC’s statements on COVID, down from 55 percent in 2020.
As the pandemic has revealed, even powerful biomedical tools such as vaccines sputter in practice if disadvantaged people can’t access them, or if distrusting people refuse to use them. America’s recurring mistake is to create such technofixes at warp speed, while neglecting the systems that actually deploy those tools.
America actually has an entire workforce that specializes in earning trust: community health workers. They’re hired for their empathy, their strong local ties, and their personal experience with hardship. Breanna Burke, a community health worker in Bristol, Tennessee, where she has lived since she was 3, told me that her job is to “get to the root cause of ongoing health issues,” with the understanding that a person’s circumstances constrain their choices. For example, she helped one of her diabetic clients plan a budget to keep their power on so they could keep their insulin cold; another time, she figured out that a patient whose pain wouldn’t stop had been sleeping on a hardwood floor for nine months, and contacted a local women’s club to raise money for a mattress.
When COVID hit, Burke provided people with emergency food supplies so they could weather quarantine in safety, and talked others through their hesitancy over getting vaccinated. She can do that because her nonjudgmental approach and shared life experience make her trustworthy — the secret to community health workers’ extraordinary effectiveness.

Yes, this does mention Covid-19, but points out Covid-19 was less a threat than obesity. There is no vaccine for obesity, by the way.
Opinion: This is now the No. 1 preventable cause of Alzheimer’s in America
Published: July 11, 2022 at 11:23 a.m. ET
By Brett Arends
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-now-the-no-1-preventable-cau
se-of-alzheimers-in-america-11657553007
Here is yet more bleak news about the obesity epidemic: Obesity isn’t just killing millions of people. It’s giving lots of them Alzheimer’s first.
“Obesity is now the top modifiable dementia risk factor in the U.S.,” reports the Journal of the American Medical Association in its latest bulletin. Obesity in midlife is now leading to more cases of dementia than any of the other usual suspects, including depression, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, or low levels of education. About a third of dementia cases in America are now associated with some combination of these factors, with midlife obesity, physical inactivity and low education levels leading the way. According to the medical study, midlife obesity was a contributing factor to some 18% or just under 1 in 5 cases of dementia in America.
A decade ago obesity wasn’t even in the top three.
But why should we be surprised? Nearly half of all Americans are now clinically obese. The percentage has risen by a third in a generation, while the rate of severe obesity has more than doubled.
The comedian Bill Maher spoke out about the subject three years ago, and the main result was a “social media backlash”… against Bill Maher. Go here to watch a licensed therapist tell people that if they are trying to lose weight they are giving in to “fatphobia.”
In the years before I quit alcohol and cigarettes, statistically zero people ever told me not to give in to smokephobia or boozephobia. Not one.
Is it true that obesity kills 325,000 Americans a year?
Nope. That official figure is more than 20 years out of date.
Since then, based on data from the U.S. Census and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of adult Americans with obesity has risen by about 70% and the number with severe obesity by 140%.
So simple math says the death toll is now probably around 500,000 every year, which is more than the annual Covid deaths in 2020 and 2021.
Now compare the extraordinary and heroic national measures taken over the last two years to combat Covid with the mass passivity about obesity.
Obesity now kills more Americans than smoking, says the Cleveland Clinic.
On average it wipes about 15 years off your life, according to this medical study from 2021.
The annual cost to America is an estimated $173 billion.
News that obesity also helps cause dementia has further grim news on the economic front as well as the human one. Some 6 million Americans already have dementia and the numbers are rising steadily as more people age. Dementia is a vicious and cruel disease that is especially devastating to family members, but also imposes a severe burden on everyone around the victim.
The cost to the economy of dementia is nearing $300 billion a year, including the terrible toll the disease takes on families and carers.
You’d think we’d be tackling this for the thing it is: The No. 1 health crisis in America — worse than drugs and worse than Covid. You’d think we’d be tackling a food industry that pushes edible crack. You’d think we’d be teaching kids about better and simpler nutrition in schools. You’d think we would, at the very least, stop subsidizing unhealthy food through the SNAP program. You’d think we wouldn’t be trying to stop people talking about the subject honestly.
You’d think.

Until you are dead, you don't know that you lost 15 years, therefore you can claim you have done nothing wrong. What is the result? People get fat, die young, and never have to acknowledge they were wrong. The ignoramuses don't know while alive, can't know once dead. Nature will let you die with a high opinion, yet undeserved, about yourself. On the other hand, Science will tell you the blunt truth so that you can avoid an early death, but it will cost you your high opinion about yourself and how beautiful you are when fat.

6ix, here are 3 predictions, and remember that hundreds of millions of Americans never heard the predictions or would say the predictions are FALSE, and therefore those Americans won't change what they do:

3. Between 160 million and 214 million people in the United States could be infected over the course of the epidemic, according to a projection that encompasses the range of the four scenarios. That could last months or even over a year, with infections concentrated in shorter periods, staggered across time in different communities, experts said. As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die. 2.4 million to 21 million people in the United States could require hospitalization, potentially crushing the nation’s medical system, which has only about 925,000 staffed hospital beds. Fewer than a tenth of those are for people who are critically ill.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/us/coronavirus-deaths-estimate.html
Prediction: 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die
Actual: 1,015,070 die
Prediction: 2.4 million to 21 million people hospitalized
Actual: 4,906,251 hospitalized
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.h
tml
Those hundreds of millions of Americans who either never heard or disbelieve the predictions can feel good about not-knowing/not-caring by saying smoking/obesity/covid won't kill them, therefor why go to all the bother of knowing/caring? As a practical matter it is impossible for the dead to acknowledge what they didn't want to know while alive about why they suffered. What about getting the living to acknowledge how they caused their own suffering while they still suffer? Almost as impossible.

America was in an early-death crisis long before Covid
Ed Yong writes:
Jacob Bor has been thinking about a parallel universe. He envisions a world in which America has health on par with that of other wealthy nations, and is not an embarrassing outlier that, despite spending more on health care than any other country, has shorter life spans, higher rates of chronic disease and maternal mortality, and fewer doctors per capita than its peers. Bor, an epidemiologist at Boston University School of Public Health, imagines the people who are still alive in that other world but who died in ours. He calls such people “missing Americans.” And he calculates that in 2021 alone, there were 1.1 million of them.
Bor and his colleagues arrived at that number by using data from an international mortality database and the CDC. For every year from 1933 to 2021, they compared America’s mortality rates with the average of Canada, Japan, and 16 Western European nations (adjusting for age and population). They showed that from the 1980s onward, the U.S. started falling behind its peers. By 2019, the number of missing Americans had grown to 626,000. After COVID arrived, that statistic ballooned even further—to 992,000 in 2020, and to 1.1 million in 2021. Were the U.S. “just average compared to other wealthy countries, not even the best performer, fully a third of all deaths last year would have been prevented,” Bor told me. That includes half of all deaths among working-age adults. “Think of two people you might know under 65 who died last year: One of them might still be alive,” he said. “It raises the hairs on the back of my neck.”
These counterfactuals puncture two common myths about America’s pandemic experience: that the U.S. was just one unremarkable victim of a crisis that spared no nation and that COVID disrupted a status quo that was strong and worth restoring wholesale. In fact, as one expert predicted in March 2020, the U.S. had the worst outbreak in the industrialized world—not just because of what the Trump and Biden administrations did, but also because of the country’s rotten rootstock. COVID simply did more of what life in America has excelled at for decades: killing Americans in unusually large numbers, and at unusually young ages. “I don’t think people in the United States actually have any awareness of just how poorly we do as a country at letting people live to old age,” Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, a sociologist at the University of Minnesota, told me.
Someone might reasonably ask: What’s the big deal if I die at 76 versus 78? But in fact, life expectancy is falling behind other wealthy nations in large part because a lot of Americans are dying very young—in their 40s and 50s, rather than their 70s and 80s. The country is experiencing what Bor and his colleagues call “a crisis of early death”—a long-simmering tragedy that COVID took to a furious boil.
In every country, the coronavirus wrought greater damage upon the bodies of the elderly than the young. But this well-known trend hides a less obvious one: During the pandemic, half of the U.S.’s excess deaths—the missing Americans—were under 65 years old. Even though working-age Americans were less likely to die of COVID than older Americans, they fared considerably worse than similarly aged people in other countries.

Quote:I quoted an entire article that uses statistics to prove that about a million Americans die unnecessarily per year. The article didn't go on to explain why, because that information is not in the statistics but I would guess the dead people died because they don't trust doctors and they don't have the money to pay if they did. The money angle has been solved in other countries, but not in the USA, which has the most expensive medical system on Earth. It is Republican Senators filibustering all political solutions to the expensive medical system.

I wonder where you got your statistics? Where I am from it is poor white trash killing other poor white trash. It is poor white trash overdosing themselves. It is poor white trash refusing to go to the doctor. It is poor white trash getting fired from construction jobs because of drunkenness and incompetence. It is me doing the firing. Poor white trash voting for Trump, too!
If anybody desperately needs to fix themselves, it is poor white trash, especially the ones that keep saying they are doing great when I see they have no idea what great means or how to behave properly.
I have told you this several times, but in case you disbelieve, my relatives (excluding my sisters and their children) are all poor white trash who voted for Trump. Their lives are total car wrecks (divorce, unemployment, drunkenness, out-of-wedlock births, bankruptcy, evictions, car crashes, gluttony, burglary, embezzlement, you name a sin and one of my relatives could be used as an example.) They never have any shame and never behave themselves with understanding of how to get into the upper middle class. You should hear the freaky conversations my Trumptard relatives have about overthrowing the Democrats. My people are amusingly demented about Trump, the 2020 election, and dangerous because they are armed and stupid.

In less than two weeks, you could walk out of a pharmacy with a next-generation COVID booster in your arm. Just a few days ago, the Biden administration indicated that the first updated COVID-19 vaccines would be available shortly after Labor Day to Americans 12 and older who have already had their primary series. Unlike the shots the U.S. has now, the new doses from Pfizer and Moderna will be bivalent, which means they’ll contain genetic material based both on the ancestral strain of the coronavirus and on two newer Omicron subvariants that are circulating in the U.S.

According to provisional data published Wednesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, life expectancy at birth dropped by nearly a year between 2020 and 2021 -- and by more than two and a half years overall since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Life expectancy at birth fell to 76.1 years, the lowest it has been in the US since 1996, and the biggest 2-year decline in a century.
Covid-19 was the driving factor, with deaths from the virus contributing to half of the decline from 2020 to 2021, according to the report from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.
The death rate from Covid-19 was higher in 2021 than it was in 2020, so it wasn't particularly surprising that life expectancy would fall again, Bob Anderson, chief mortality statistician for the CDC, told CNN.
Also, drug overdose deaths reached a record high in 2021, killing about 109,000 people. And deaths from unintentional injuries -- about half of which are due to drug overdose -- was the second-leading cause of the decline in life expectancy. . . . "We have the science and the tools available to help us reverse this trend and reduce the number of overdose deaths in this country. But these tools are not being used effectively."
An 'astounding' decline
The recent decline among American Indian and Alaska Native people is particularly "astounding," Anderson said.
The life expectancy for this group plunged by nearly 2 years between 2020 and 2021 and a startling 6.6 years since 2019 -- more than twice as much as it did for the total US population.
At 65.2 years, the life expectancy for American Indians in 2021 was equal to the overall US life expectancy in 1944.
"When I saw that, in the report, I just -- my jaw dropped," Anderson said.
"It was hard enough to fathom a 2.7 year decline over 2 years overall. But then to see a 6.6 year decline for the American Indian population -- it just shows the substantial impact that the pandemic has had on that population."
Deaths from Covid-19 directly were the leading contributor to the decline in life expectancy among American Indian people in 2021, but deaths due to drug overdose and other unintentional injuries, as well as chronic liver disease, which is often caused by alcohol abuse, were nearly equal contributors for this group.
A separate study, published as a preprint in June, ( https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.04.05.22273393v4 ) found that the decrease in life expectancy in the US over the course of the pandemic was "highly racialized" and substantially larger than it was for a set of comparable countries. In fact, that study found that life expectancy increased slightly between 2020 and 2021 for the set of 21 peer countries.
In the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, life expectancy declined least among White people. In the second year of the pandemic, however, this group saw the second-biggest decline in life expectancy -- and deaths due to Covid-19 contributed to the drop among White people more than any other racial or ethnic group.

Quote:There are many people who are not Democrats fitting the following description : Fat people, drunkards, smokers, addicts of all kinds, those who are obvious to their obligations. They die from Covid. What is the moral? Don't be a glutton. Don't be obvious. Don't smoke. Etc. Funny how counties run by Republicans had a high percentage of their population die from Covid, but if you think nobody dies from Covid, there is nothing to any of this.

I say New Zealand should just keep throwing everybody in camps.
They gave away their right to bear arms, so they deserve to be a shining example of what that gets you.

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said Tuesday that "the COVID epidemic is starting again" and called for preventative measures.
Borne said that more than 40,000 cases are being detected every day at the moment, while "an increase of almost 10 percent in hospitalizations, 22 percent increase in hospitalizations in critical care and 400 deaths from COVID" was observed last week.
"This new wave reminds us: The virus has not disappeared, the epidemic strikes again, kills again," she added.

How many new hospitalizations does that mean? 100? 1000? 10?
We know that the latest version of Covid us incredibly contagious, but not very serious. It's going to spread really fast in indoor spaces. So be prepared. Paxlovid really does work for the more serious cases,I know somebody who had to take it. Mostly it's like a bad cold tho.
When people start fudging figures it makes me suspect the whole narrative.

My aunt had it 2 weeks ago. My dad and one of my brothers had it last week and my step-mom has it now. Nobody died. But they were never boosted, thankfully.
I had the sniffles and a minor cough for a few days around the same time, and I had just been with my dad in a confined space down by my brother before he got it, but I don't shit my drawers every time I need to blow my nose. I just had Covid back in April, so I'm probably naturally immune, or Covid is nothing more than the common cold to me now.
