Covid-19 miscellany

Meanwhile in California, it has been mandated to start mass vaccination of school children. This should drive the plague rats of America into a foamy lipped frenzy.

And the left wing authoritarians into orgasm. There is no reason to vaccinate kids.

Equally, then, no reason to vaccinate children against measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough--not a high mortality rate or high rate of permanent damage.
 
If you understood the situation, or were honest about the situation, you'd know that death is not the only possible outcome. Do recall that sick kids can make others sick and there is such a thing known as long Covid in kids. For Christ sake. Learn something or admit that you think it's OK to endanger others for no good reason.

Recent data from Wuhan--half of those hospitalized still have long Covid.

Did not know drowning was contagious.

Why that guy is not banned? In fact, I would have gone through comments and banned some of these people too.

Youtube has promoted disinfo folks for years and years. It only bans anything when they go far enough to open it up to possible legal consequences. Youtube even goes as far as taking debunker channels down for "harrassment" when some chemtrailer or 911 truther that gets lots of clicks complains. These guys are cash cows. These alt-right clowns bitch about "censorship" when they do something bad enough to get kicked off the platform but they are the biggest censors out there. The tightly control the comments on their channels and they will tie competing channels in knots with complaints if the competing channels start to get any traction.
 
Do remind us of the COVID fatality rate for children.

Less than 500 according to the CDC.

Fewer than 500 children have died of COVID-19 since figures were first recorded May 2020, the CDC said, a figure exponentially outnumbered by children killed in drownings, gun-violence incidents, and other fatal injuries. A total of 498 children had been killed by COVID up to the week ending September 23, which are the most recent CDC figures available. Most children in the US die as a result of various accidents, including car crashes, drowning, and from being shot, the CDC says.

And I'll repeat for you too. My god you really have no understanding of all this do you?

Someone that uses the term "plague rats" is not sincere, just ignorant or hysterical.

No, they're being satirically accurate.
I don't see a whole lot of satire in the term.
A very tiny bit of hyperbole, maybe.
But only maybe.
We have 700,000 dead inside of a very short time. It's contagious, it's lethal, and they're choosing to remain pretty fucking open to being a vector for the disease. So Plague Rat seems terribly appropriate, really.

How many kids who became infected then infected someone else? You do know why Covid is still with us right? I'll give you a hint. Infected people pass it on to others. This really is easy stuff. Or do you think that it's a good idea for infected kids to pass it along?

How many kids who got Covid got long Covid? I'll give you a hint. Loren already gave you part of the answer.

and at most 12 have died after getting a vaccine. If their deaths were even causally connected to the vaccine.

Good to know.
 
Hey anyone remember when kids went back to school in the south, where mask mandates were made against the law, in August and tens of thousands of people died? Man... seems so recent, hard to figure out why people can't remember that it happened.
 
Here's how crazy wrong the anti-vax Trumpers are -- by death totals:
WWI American military death total: 117,000 Time span: roughly a year and a half
WWII American military death total: 405,000 Time span: four and a half years
Civil War American military death total: 665,000 Time span: four years
Covid -- U.S. death total, to date: 701,000 Time span: 20 months to date

So, in attempting to contain, stem, and stamp out this catastrophe, which is now worse than our worst war, which is usually pictured as a devastating slaughter that bled the country white, our government is accused of overreaction, overreach, and coercion. It's just plain crazy, ignorant, and unpatriotic. It's thumb-sucking. All you have to do, to find a recent contrasting example presided over by a conservative administration, is look at 9/11/01, in which we lost 2977 lives in one day and then submitted to fairly stringent restrictions on travel and a bumped-up security state -- plus two wars. But you can't expect a huge chunk of our citizens to get inoculated so that this epidemic can finally be controlled and eradicated.
We didn't have to lose this many lives. New Zealanders didn't, and they don't have a dictatorship. They just have the common sense and regard for the general welfare to realize that emergencies require extraordinary practice.

You forget that New Zealand is a weak nation. How many aircraft carriers do they have? How big is their armed forces compared to ours? We can turn them into glass with our nukes if we wanted.

We can have our way with new Zealand, kick their asses, so that means their just a bunch of dumbfuck socialists.

Meanwhile in the UK;

Just nine people in Britain have died directly from a Covid vaccine, government statisticians declared today in an attempt to squash concerns about the jabs. The Office for National Statistics counted fatalities confirmed by either a doctor or coroner, who have to certify the cause to the 'best of their knowledge or belief'. For deaths where a vaccine is suspected of being one of the contributing causes of death, a lengthy investigation has to be carried out. The ONS admitted its figure — made up of four deaths in England, four in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland — is bound to rise as more go through this process over the coming months. But scientists today questioned the number, which does not yet take into account dozens of deaths linked to AstraZeneca's vaccine and rare blood clots. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the UK's drugs watchdog, says there have been 72 deaths from clots after that jab alone.

Put another way, in The US, Covid causes a 9/11 level of deaths every 2 days.
If Covid lasts as long in the US was in WWII, we will lose almost 3 times as may people as the US lost in WWII.
Covid on average causes almost 3X more deaths per day as did WWII for the US
The US went to war over about 2400 deaths at pearl harbor. The pandemic has caused almost 300 Pearl Harbors since it started

And half of US citizens are working to keep that level of death continuing.

On the other hand, Covid has caused 137,000 deaths in the UK. Do the math.
