Check out the vaccinated dude above replying to your post from 8 months ago. That’s some serious brain fog or something, eh? Dementia ya think?

Both misinformation and misapplication of statistical methods need to be challenged no matter when and where. The internet age....... where completely wrong interpretations never die..... simultaneously a blessing and a curse.

Well…that’s all very interesting but doesn’t explain your random appearance and reply to @rattlesnake eight months after the fact..

Is it an age related thing? Or do you just have a crush?

Perhaps the OP would care to return and explain it all more clearly so that the unwashed amongst us might be able to understand it better. That is….if he’s still “with us”.

Clearly, like some of your like-minded AN friends, you struggle with reading comprehension. LOL... you call it random... I call it required.

In your world, if you say something stupid, does it become not stupid after eight months?

I call it “coming late to the party”. A bit dim if I might say so myself.

But hey….you do you 😄

You don't hear about them in the news so much anymore. But COVID continues to kill large numbers of people around the world as current COVID vaccination rates decline, even though the current COVID death tallies now after years of prior vaccination are much lower than they were earlier in the pandemic.

 

Buried in the news the other day:

 

Thailand Ministry of Health reports 239 COVID deaths and nearly 600,000 COVID cases during 2025 in Thailand thru mid-July:

 

"The Department of Disease Control earlier reported that for the year to July 14, Thailand had 589,352 reported cases of Covid-19 and 239 fatalities."

And in the U.S., where they no longer try to count regular COVID cases anymore, almost 16,000 reported COVID deaths thus far for the year through Sept. 25, running right now about 250 new COVID deaths each and every week:

I’ve lost count of how many are no longer with us or have posted in the health section about their heart problems, cancer, etc.

It seems to do a number on their brains too as is apparent from the random reply to the thread…eight months later.

When they all told us unvaccinated that they wouldn’t cry at our funerals, I should have taken bets on who would be the first to die.

What happened was that his incessant derailing of every Covid topic, with his kilometres of copy-pastes, led several of us to complain about him… and I think he was given a warning. True to his very mature and stable self, he chose to storm out of the room. I mean, how could He, of all people, receive a warning??? He is Mister Covid Fact Check, he is one of the Good Guys…

Either them or their wives. It's a neverending flow. Must be confusing for them as we were supposed to die, not them.

I would not pay to watch the inoculated die because I am not a psychopath, but I definitely don't feel sorry for them. Reap what you sow.

Oooh….that’s an especially good one 😃 How much do you think we could have sold front row seats for? Perhaps the back rows would have commanded a greater price….being at a “safe distance” and all.

I don't think I can expand too much due to forum rules, but to put it simply, a change of strategy was required after the direction chosen during Covid… for survival purposes.

"Up to [them]" though

Edited June 25Jun 25 by Tourist2

COVID-19 continues to claim hundreds of American lives every week. New CDC data reveals that over 350 people are still dying each week, with the majority of deaths occurring among older adults.

News flash... Older adults die every week whether they have Covid or not.

"The Department of Disease Control earlier reported that for the year to July 14, Thailand had 589,352 reported cases of Covid-19 and 239 fatalities."

That's a 0.4% fatality rate, even assuming it was the Covid that killed them. But a lot of them died with Covid, and a dozen other comorbidities. That's what happens when people get old.

Edit: BTW, over 5 years on, the left side of my face is still numb, and I still can't climb a ladder or walk a straight line due to balance issues. Symptoms that started the day after my 2nd Pfizer.

I stand by what I said. I and everyone who hasn't died of or suffered horribly from smallpox, polio, influenza, tetanus, rabies, diphtheria, rotavirus, and on and on and on.

Bottom line: Vaccines should be mandated. Vaccine injuries? Every medicine, including benign OTC ones, has potential side effects (read the small print at the back of the bottle), yet we take them.

Did some of of the old generation suffer vaccine injuries from the smallpox vaccine? You bet. Are we glad they soldiered on and kept getting inoculated and left us one less terrifying disease to worry about?

I thought the AV'ers claimed Covid Vac deaths were disguised

as flu deaths ?

All very complicated !

Have you forgotten my earlier post Gamby Sir? Posts that explain what COVID actually was. And it aint anything real. Just fuzziness in White-coats' minds and and computer programmes.

And of course $$$ into the pockets of the know nothing 'safe n effective' idiots pushing the needle into babes and toddlers for money.

It's not that I have no empathy for people who are suffering.

But you are expecting us to believe the vaccine is linked to every conceivable illness in the medical dictionary.

So it numbs your face and makes you lose balance and prevents you from climbing stairs?

Sorry, are you sure you guys are ok psychologically and it all isn't psychosomatic?

It's impossible that a vaccine can be linked to all these different medical conditions.

Now its safe to tell the truth (well after the horse has bolted):

CDC numbers:

Two Memes - and we can see the obvious and flawed bias:

The First image is more interesting because the numbers are real.

Flu numbers did significantly drop in 2020-21. The CDC figures check out. That's a genuine anomaly worth thinking about.

Here's the thing though - it's not actually mysterious. Masks, school closures, reduced travel and social distancing hammer influenza transmission hard. Flu is less infectious than COVID was and more sensitive to those interventions.

The collapse happened in the southern hemisphere too, in countries with no conceivable motive to suppress flu data and limited COVID testing capacity at the time.

The obvious implication being pushed is that flu cases got relabelled as COVID. That requires ignoring one inconvenient fact: PCR tests don't work that way. Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are detected by completely different assays targeting different genetic sequences. A flu swab doesn't become a COVID case. The tests are specific.

The actually defensible skeptical point from that data is different - aggressive COVID testing caught vast amounts of mild illness that would never have shown up in previous surveillance. That inflates case counts compared to historical flu numbers, which were themselves estimates extrapolated from sentinel surveillance, not mass testing.

That's just a real methodological comparison problem. It's just fraud.

The Second meme / image is just antisemitism with a spreadsheet.

The format hasn't changed in a hundred years. Find Jewish people across unrelated institutions, highlight their ethnicity, add a Star of David, and let the reader draw the conclusion you've already planted. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion did the same thing with worse typography.

The list can't even get its own facts right. Klaus Schwab isn't Jewish - his father was Protestant, but that doesn't stop this getting copy-pasted across every conspiracist forum on the internet. Rachel Levine isn't Jewish. BlackRock doesn't make vaccines, fund vaccines, or distribute vaccines. Some of the job titles are out of date. So the thing fails on its own terms before you even get to the logic.

And that logic is also very broken. Jewish people are roughly 2% of the US population and significantly overrepresented in medicine, academia and finance. That's been true for generations and the reasons are well understood. Finding Jewish surnames at the CDC is about as remarkable as finding Irish surnames in a Boston courtroom. You could do the same exercise with any ethnic group that clusters in a particular profession and make it look sinister. It means nothing.

So, putting the them together and its easier to see what's actually happening here.

Image one: the pandemic was manufactured.

Image two: Jewish people ran the vaccine programme.

Combined conclusion: coordinated Jewish conspiracy to fake a pandemic and inject the global population.

One image is factually wrong in multiple places and draws on a conspiracy tradition that has historically preceded mass violence. The other uses genuine data to support a conclusion the data doesn't reach.

Neither is the brave heterodox truth-telling they're cosplaying as - it's simple misinformation - more facebook style memeology and not even remotely intelligent - readily picked apart by anyone prepared to think about what the are actually looking at.

Oh, we do give a sh*t. It's genuinely awful to hear of anyone left with long-term health problems, whatever the cause.

Where many of us differ is that we don't automatically equate temporal association with causation. A symptom appearing after a vaccination does not, by itself, establish that the vaccine caused it. That's precisely why medicine relies on careful investigation, epidemiology and controlled studies rather than individual anecdotes, however compelling or heartbreaking they may be.

It's also why doctors ask difficult questions. For example, if the vaccine was the cause, why did the symptoms reportedly begin after the second Pfizer dose and not the first? That doesn't prove the vaccine wasn't involved, but neither does the timing alone prove that it was. It's one of many questions that need answering before concluding causation.

Acknowledging that uncertainty isn't dismissing Impulse's experience.

It's recognising that determining cause requires evidence beyond chronology - but for anti-vaxxes, its seems this timing is considered absolute evidence - and thats the flaw.

Empathy and scientific scepticism aren't mutually exclusive.
