There is too much that is ludicrously wrong with this article, so I flagged it. The author's credentials should tell you all you need to know about his analysis of medical research: > [The author] holds an MA in social science from the University of Chicago, where he wrote on political theory.

FTA: > A study from the CDC[1] examining 540,667 adults hospitalized with Covid-19 from March of last year to March of this year found that about 95 percent had at least one underlying medical condition. Hypertension and disorders of lipid metabolism were the most frequent (about 50 percent each), whereas obesity (33 percent), certain experiences of diabetes, and anxiety disorders were the strongest risk factors for a severe or fatal hospitalization case of Covid-19.

Or perhaps, be like Sweden and don't fight it. Apparently they and a very few other locations were right all along. Get through it and get on with life...no closures, no bans, no restrictions. Covid is not a thing, it's a reference to a thing...Sars. Yes it might be with us forever, but so what? Even if all the hyped up, fake positives and political narratives were true...so what? Of 7.674 billion humans, 195 million cases...that's a 2.5% infection rate...total deaths equal 0.05%...yes I know that's not the stat you want to see...it's not the deadly, bubonic vision the political and media machines have spread...but it's the truth. For info on adverse effects of the FDA unapproved jabs, visit the VAERS section of the CDC.com website.
