Stargeezr Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I have a few relatives who refused to get vaccinated, and now they are mad that if they go to the USA for a visit, they will have to quarantine. I have told them to grow up and get a jab or two. I also have had four relatives who died from COVID, before the vaccines were available. their younger wives survived with long COVID, and were even in the hospital on oxygen for a while. It is a good thing that the latest variants are not as deadly as the first three Alpha Beta and Delta strains or more people would still be dying. In my opinion, the side effects of vaccines are better than dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said most people dying were unvaccinated, it's not true, just admit it and let's move on. IMO the truth and you are separated by a few football fields.

Popular Post Bim Smith Posted December 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2022 The stats shown in this peace are designed to get people to roll of their sleeve. My entire family came down with COVID this last month's all vaccinated 4 times. Brother in law in hospital with a blood clot to the brain. My wife and I are not vaccinated and visit them maskless and have not had as much as a sniffle in years. Something is not right about any of this. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 8 hours ago, Credo said: Acute Covid infections are not a long term condition. People don't die 'with' Covid. People do die from complications of Covid, but it either kills you or you recover. It's quite disingenuous to try to somehow conflate the situation with other diseases and conditions. Covid can exacerbate some other conditions (as can the flu) but that doesn't mean it killed you; it just means you are in poor health. If someone has stage 4 cancer and dies with Covid, do we say they died from Covid? If someone dies from old age and they happen to have Covid, what did they die from? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Friend tested Positive last Tuesday mouth saliva test.. He went to the Hospital and took another test = Negative Dr said before testing brush teeth + use mouthwash, take your med's wait 30 mins then test... to many people are testing positive because of old germs in mouth giving false readings. He has tested every day since all Negative.. something I did not know - [only use for years C 20 Antiseptic Mouth Wash] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet in an non-exacerbated condition (your words), that person, or persons, very likely would have lived! If a person had Covid when they die, report that as a fact. Not to consider that person's Covid status is a seemingly deliberate ploy to mask infection levels. People don't generally die of 'old age', if they had symptomatic Covid, I would certainly believe it correct to assign it to Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not 15% chance of dying, it's less than 0.005% (5/100,000). And if you've been vaccinated, without booster, it's little different from having been vaccinated up the yin yang.

If someone has stage 4 cancer and dies with Covid, do we say they died from Covid? If someone dies from old age and they happen to have Covid, what did they die from? The reason that a medical examiner reviews these cases is to determine a cause of death. If you are hit by a car crossing the street to get to a hospital, you will not be listed as a Covid death and you won't be recorded as 'dying with Covid.' It gets a little murkier when there are serious comorbidities, so an autopsy and histological examinations are necessary. In one instance in which nine subjects from two different nursing homes included patients who presumably died from CO poisoning due to a heating system malfunction. All subjects tested positive for COVID-19 both ante- and post-mortem and were examined using post-mortem computed tomography prior to autopsy. COVID-19 was determined to be a contributing cause in the deaths of four out of nine subjects (death due to COVID-19; i.e., pneumonia and sudden cardiac death). In the other five cases, for which CO poisoning was identified as the cause of death, the infection presumably had no role in exitus (death with COVID-19). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8393539/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny because it sure was relevant a year ago when the wordlwide motto was "the unvaxxed are clogging up hospitals". Now that this BS can't be sustained anymore, it conveniently becomes "irrelevant" (that might explain why countries such as France stopped reporting on the vaccination status of hospitalized patients several months ago). Quite a handy concept that, adjustable relevance. It would be comical if it weren't so tragic. Edited December 13, 2022 by rattlesnake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YLL (years of life lost) is the measurement. If your cancer patient had a 12 month life expectancy but died due to Covid complications in month 1 of that period - then 11 months of life has been lost due to Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes total sense as I am also seeing a lot of people geting Covid these days, more or less severely. They all have one thing in common: they took as many of the "safe and effective" jabs as they were told to. I fully appreciate that this is an uncomfortable fact, but as uncomfortable as it is, it's there. Now what rational minds do when they become aware of new information/facts is they acknowledge them, i.e. they adopt a stance such as "Oh good point, I was actually wrong about that…", or "turns out it wasn't quite what we thought…" etc. and adjust their view. Otherwise it's just plain denial. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
