I trust the CDC about as much as I trust the BLS.***

When folks say, "You'll regret that in the morning", I just sleep until noon, because I'm a problem solver.


If covid wanted to survive, it had to mutate to a form that wouldn't kill us

This is what we're up against.

I find the irony pretty thick, that Mr. "natural" here (he's just some random nutjob, don't really know anything about him) doesn't seem to remember what "natural" really is. Naturally, humans live on average 28-30 years. That's because NATURALLY 50% of children never see adulthood. For literally tens of thousands of years, human life expectancy was 28-30yo. Then, in the early 1900's, something changed. All of a sudden "children are not supposed to die". Only old people are supposed to die. Roughly 12% of the increase in life expectancy in the past century have come from medical science, better tools, surgeries, medicines, etc. ONLY 12%. What caused the other 88% increase in life expectancy? Easy, CHILDREN NOT DYING.

See, for the mouth breathers, when you come up with an "average" life expectancy, you add up all of the data to a total, then divide it by the total quantity. So for life expectancy, you add up all the ages at death, then divide by the total deaths, and you get an average AGE of death (life expectancy). Now, in this equation, the numbers further from the mean, the outliers, carry more weight. A 1yo death pulled the average down 10x more than a 10yo death, and 20x more than a 20yo death. LITTLE known fact, if you saw your 25th birthday 500 years ago, 1,000, 2,000, whatever, your odds of seeing your 55th birthday WERE ROUGHLY THE SAME AS TODAY.

If you're going to advocate for nature, then advocate for nature. Go ahead and say 50% of children SHOULD die before making it to adulthood. THAT is "natural", for 99.5% of human history. Go ahead and say 50% of children SHOULD die, just as nature intended. Go right ahead. And while you're at it, pretend you have no idea why children seem to rarely die today. I wonder, whatever could have caused that change to come about?

You're right...

The reason average lifespans are so much longer is mostly because of what we've done to protect children from things that used to commonly kill them.

Certainly, vaccines have been a big part of that. Not the only thing, but a big part of that.

Did they die with Covid or of Covid?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

About 85-90% of the time, if Covid is listed on the death certificate....

it is the major cause of death. In the other 10-15% where it's listed, it's a secondary contributor.
