  1. You're on the wrong post, my link above is for the kids who lost parents from covid. As for estimates of how many lives saved with vaccines, there are other studies also that give similar results are you still saying "So it starts with a dodgy number divided by an unknowable number, multiplied by another poorly measured number to arrive at a total. It's the best they can do, but it should not be taken as an accurate representation of reality." https://www.nber.org/digest/202205/estimating-lives-saved-covid-vaccines
  2. That's a no then. Thought so. I guess you don' t want to play credibility bingo with this study either based on WHO data. 10.5 Million Children Lost a Parent, Caregiver to COVID-19
  3. "You would find lots of relevant information if you were curious" Lots of relevant information on what exactly?
  4. Do you have studies that contradict the links I provided?
  5. Its not my opinion though is it. Its evidence based facts. Your opinion is just that, an opinion: Omicron ended the pandemic to endemic COVID-19 vaccines have saved 20 million lives so far
  6. It was a change in the virus + vaccinations that got the world out of this. Previous lockdowns reduced infections = saved lives. That is the reality.
  7. What makes you think advice and outcomes remain the same when the virus changed into more dangerous immune escape variants? Why are there no restrictions now? Why were there restrictions when delta was around?
  8. Vaccines and lockdowns/restrictions helped bring the worst of the pandemic under control when it was the more dangerous variants, plenty of evidence and studies for this without the need to regurgitate it.
  9. The government measures to control the pandemic helped save many lives, the unfortunate consequence of lockdowns of course were some medical care suffered during the pandemic, and delayed diagnosis leads to poor health outcomes for others but that does not mean this figure is greater because of that alone.
  10. No, any link will do...............just something to confirm and substantiate your wild claims beyond the cave walls
  11. Can you provide a link to all the sudden deaths of those teenagers, fit adults and athletes that have died though unknown causes?
  12. One of the reasons for current excess deaths in the UK, unfortunately some prefer to keep their heads in the rabbit hole with conspiracy theories and ignore the facts. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) said significant and widespread disruption to heart care services was still driving a surge in excess deaths. The BHF report describes a “vast backlog of time-sensitive cardiac care”, which has jumped by almost 50% since the pandemic began to nearly 350,000 people. It warns of millions of “missing” heart patients, diagnosed and undiagnosed, who could have conditions such as high blood pressure that put them at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/13/whats-behind-the-mystery-of-thousands-of-excess-deaths-this-summer
  13. I had seen this video when it was mentioned earlier in the tread, brutal and sickening, taken down now from twitter. There are no words to describe Prigozhin the head of Wagner other than Barbarian and murderer. Ukraine war: Wagner chief Prigozhin defends brutal killing video The head of private Russian military group Wagner has defended a brutal video apparently showing the death of a mercenary who defected to Ukraine. Putin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin said unverified footage of Yevgeny Nuzhin, 55, being struck with a sledgehammer was "a dog's death for a dog". The convicted murderer announced in September he had changed sides. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63623285 Its also Prigozhin who recently admitted to interfering in the US elections. One of his companies was charged with it in the US although the Justice Department in 2020 moved to dismiss charges against two of the indicted firms, Concord Management and Consulting LLC and Concord Catering, saying they had concluded that a trial against a corporate defendant with no presence in the U.S. and no prospect of meaningful punishment even if convicted would likely expose sensitive law enforcement tools and techniques.
  14. Putin keeping a low profile: Putin wants to cancel his annual press conference for the first time in 10 years, Russian media report https://twitter.com/IuliiaMendel/status/1592091907056103424
  15. You said you got it from Al Jazeera, so I asked for the link. Thats not baiting its asking you to substantiate your claim.
  16. Ok we're getting there. So your claiming you got this understanding from Al Jazeera. Interesting, so now all we need is a link to this article and see if the interpretation is the same for everyone or was it just you? "My understanding is that mail voting convinced young voters to vote in large numbers and apparently they consider abortion to be birth control, rather than a last resort, so single issue voters."
  17. Last midterms 2018 there was an even higher young people vote and no talk of student loans. This year not one single student has gained any benifit from student loans as they are still on hold. The exit polls proved what they turned out for as already demonstrated, not your 10k holiday bribe insinuation.
  18. A federal judge calls student loan relief unlawful, deepening limbo for borrowers It was nothing to do with the student loans. As already stated in the exit polls, young people voted on abortion and climate change as just two of their most important issues. Your misinformation is not surprising however, a Trump classic, throw out accusations with no proof.
  19. An opinion based on nothing but misinformation as its just not true, that is a lie not an opinion.
  20. Thats you saying that not me. Young people are old enough to get married, join the military and fight for their country, they are also old enough to make choices for their rights by voting. While final figures are still pouring in, it is estimated that 27% of young voters aged 18-29 cast a ballot in 2022, making this the midterm election with the second highest youth voter turnout in almost three decades, after 2018. Support for Democrats was even higher among Black youth at 89% and Latino youth at 68%. Youth Voter Turnout in the 2022 Midterms Delivered Key Wins for Democrats An initial look at youth voting patterns shared by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts (CIRCLE) shows that young Americans ages 18-29 overwhelmingly backed Democrats for the U.S. House of Representatives. CIRCLE’s analysis of the Edison Research National Election Pool exit poll found that 63% of young Americans voted for a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House, while 35% of young Americans backed Republican candidates. With the threat of a national abortion ban on the horizon to far-right candidates promoting climate change denial and threatening to reject election results, according to organizers, there was an overwhelming understanding this cycle of “the stakes of the moment,” said Sunrise Movement’s 25-year-old national spokesperson Ellen Sciales. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/youth-voter-turnout-2022-midterms-democrats
  21. Your not a young person and certainly not a female young person voting for their rights so forgive me for ignoring your remark
  22. Biden, "Democracy is at stake" The people listened and made their vote. Thank God for the sensible who voted for democracy and especially for the younger voters who came out to help the process. Meanwhile MAGA are left to lick their wounds and blame themselves and what they should have done instead. Of course the same old election stolen will again crop up, tedious but like the flat earthers, now time to just ignore them and get the country running again.
  23. Best midterm performance for sitting party in 20 years Given that midterm elections in America traditionally favour the party in opposition, this amounts to the best performance of its kind in 20 years – since George W Bush’s Republican party achieved gains in both chambers of Congress back in 2002. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-63600154
  24. "My understanding is that mail voting convinced young voters to vote in large numbers and apparently they consider abortion to be birth control, rather than a last resort, so single issue voters." Where do you get your understanding on this? Just because young voters came out to vote does not mean they are there voting to use abortion as birth control does it? Can you provide any evidence that this is the reason they voted?
