You took your time thinking about your excuses. The fact is that you weren't the slightest bit aware of the magnitude or direction of NHS funding. You just assumed it must be down because that's the only reason the godlike public

By March 2020 we had the Diamond Princess Data which established an upper bound of 1% case fatality rate (CFR) for COVID. We already knew then that it's definitely not the Spanish Flu (2.5 - 10% CFR), not Cholera (3%), not Smallpox (3%

Well, you are right in a way. Contact tracing, masks and social distancing make even less sense for corona viruses which we full well knew in 2020.

In itself your statement is accurate: we did not have data that is impossible to have. In broader context the implication is not correct. We had experts consider long and hard what to do in the case of an influenza pandemic and the consensu

Are you getting at potentially unknown long term effects of COVID infection?

People keep saying this so there is probably something to it. I mean, not even the most optimistic mask studies show a long-term complete protection from all pathogens that can cause colds but okay, let's take it at face value: your wi

If conversations about COVID seem impossible it might be because a substantial portions of the population overestimates the danger from COVID by as much as 50x. Source: https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/354938

Well except that a lot of countries didn't have any unusual excess mortality in 2020. And anyway how do you separate the deaths caused by the measures from the deaths caused by COVID? Such as Discharging hospital patients into care hom

I am not doing that at all. Switzerland for example has similar vax rates to Germany and I'd bet that Flordia is similar to Cali. You can even compare before any vaccinations and it's the same picture. The reasons given for lockdo

Depends on what you mean by efficacy. It's recently taken on the meaning of "Protection against death and hospitalization" which is not necessarily related to infections. But yeah, UK data going back into last fall consistent

yes, spike protein is the culprit I think. When the vaccine came out it was believed that the spike is harmless but later it was shown that the spike protein is enough to cause symptoms similar to the disease COVID. [1] For a long time peop

There is literally no reason or evidence that think that the restrictions had any effect at all let alone a significant one worth the trade offs. If for some reason you are allergic to Sweden you can compare England Winter 2022 with Germany

Hundreds of thousands died with a positive PCR test, yes. But then everyone who died had one taken. Certainly, a number of those died because because of this particular infection but the average COVID death was a very old person who had two

Masks seem silly no matter what if you understand how corona spreads or if you know how after 2 years, in diagrams, you can't see a difference between unmasked/cloth masked/ffp2,N95 masked countries or even counties.

slowly we are progressing from "it can't be the vaccine". I can already see this is going to be a long couple of decades.

The vax doesn't prevent infection.

Except for two things: a) that corona spreads through aerosols which we have known since mid 2020 b) Mask don't even work against Influenza which actually is transmitted via droplets.
