If you can cite 600,000 American deaths due to the vaccine, have at it.

Guys, your country is completely retarded.

Glad your dad is doing okay, M_D.

If MD's dad has insurance with a max out of pocket it should be ok I hope. My wife's heart surgery cost several hundred thousand dollars but it only cost us 4k. Also the hospitals overcharge and then the insurance company says no. So like the bed costs $200 a night and the insurance company will say we'll give you $20 and the hospital says OK. It's a racquet. The insurance industry in this country is rightly demonized but its the hospitals that are charging these prices. A doctor comes in and says hello and sends you a bill for his time.

Ok. But can you cite 600k American covid deaths that weren't old with four co morbidities?

Do you also hate small children and puppies?

Also no one ever said they were at the same risk, more that they can spread it. “Kids spread things” is like the first thing you learn as a parent. You say masks don’t work but hey, we just had a non existent flu season and way fewer kids calling out sick at school.

I could be mistaken, but my understanding is that the flu primarily transmits through fomites/ surfaces. The obsessive sanitizing and hand washing was probably a more effective flu intervention than masks.

actually you are mistaken

Person to Person
People with flu can spread it to others up to about 6 feet away. Most experts think that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Less often, a person might get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.

Have fomites been a thing at all for Covid? Do we know if they are a thing for the flu?

Please excuse me when I mash the doubt button when the CDC cites "experts say". Get the fuck out of here with that language. Is the CDC a PR firm?
