"We must now pass voting rights bills that are before the Senate," VP Harris says.
"We cannot sit on the sidelines, we must unite in defense of our democracy in order to form a more perfect union …" pic.twitter.com/MGEmbaA2WB

Kamala Harris tries to quote the Preamble to the Constitution and ends with the Freudian slip: “… and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity… posterity.”
Kamala and the concept of “our posterity” just don’t go together well, do they?

That could be the President of the United States. One minute from now. Or tonight. Or tomorrow. Or a couple months from now.
Are the right and left united in living in denial of this fact?
But now after what we've seen in the last couple of years--and the "election" of the least credible, most appalling major party presidential ticket ever shoved at the American people--i'm no longer in the denial phase.
"America" is simply no longer the actual American nation. This is simply where we're at--in all its ugliness. We are an occupied nation.Replies: @Ron Mexico

No they do not.
Democracy has been redefined to a mean a slightly lesser degree of totalitarianism than Socialism which itself is a lesser degree of totalitarianism than Communism.
"In such a democratic state, everyone is more or less equally free of any responsibility to anyone else, including service to the state. No one is obliged to give orders; no one is obliged to take orders; no justice can be respected or meted out."
"Although the son may not even respect money, he will probably not respect anything else; he will become shiftless, kind of a reed in the wind, unable to control his desires, which will probably fluctuate wildly. Lacking any ability to discern differences in appetite, he will probably live solely for the moment, and he will be rudderless. His will be a life without order."
"If oligarchy is greedy for money, so is democracy greedy for absolute freedom; it recognizes no authority whatever, neither familial nor militaristic nor academic." Indeed under Revolution the old must respect the young, the wise must respect the fool, the rich must respect the poor. The thin must respect the fat, and the sane must respect the mad.
"The rich will complain in the Assembly; the democrats will charge them with being oligarchs and reactionaries."
"[The tyrant] will trust no one, certainly not men of reason or compassion. He will surround himself with criminals, and he will finally do criminal acts against the very democrats who elected him."
Wait...that last bit has already happened. You would have to work very hard to find anyone at the Capitol who has not earned a criminal record.
Huh.
Truth is, most of our federal government members are pretty prosperous. Seem to enter through the middle class door and leave wealthy.
At least she didn’t say “our posterior”.
It’s a bit of a low blow, but it’s quite possible that on some level Kamala couldn’t bring herself to say “our posterity” because she knows that she doesn’t really have one.
Kamala calls herself a “black Baptist” on the basis that when she was a child in Oakland her downstairs neighbor took her to church on at least 3 Sundays (she says “a lot” and she’s probably lying and it was only once – more often would have interupted her fireside chats with “the elders” during Kwanzaa). But in reality I don’t think she has any religion. So she thinks that when she is done security her prosperty it’s game over – so get it while the getttin’ is good.
This latest egregiosity calls to mind Woody Allen’s joke about the rabbi who, doing a late-night TV prayer, decided to improvise in the middle of the 23rd Psalm: “He tried to name the Ten Commandments, couldn’t think of them quickly, and instead he named the Seven Dwarfs.”
Was Kammie’s choice to go to Howard,while her sister went to Stanford,-bit of a difference there-and her mother had pulled down major bucks at McGill- was it a calculated move to move through life like her daddy,A privileged negro,or did she simply identify more with her black side?
The,ahem, not shy Kamala may been chafing at the puritanical Indians in her fam and maybe all those Kwanzaa lectures were having an effect. You remember the fourth day of Kwanza,Yowza,in which we seek to “get it on”?
She a ho.
She actually said posperity . . . prosterity
Citizenism and the concept of “our posterity” also just don’t go well together, do they?
The latter is based on blood and a people while the former us based on a piece of paper.
I heard Willie Brown was a fan of Kamala’s posterity.
I heard that too. Prosperity…

Yup. She is childless.
Posterity. Kamala has none. But by her age I’d be willing to bet she has been pregnant at one time or another.
not a Freudian slip–it’s a damn good example of affirmative action work product
Speaking of posterity, I’ve not paid much attention to Kamala’s posterior. Does it measure up?
Or put another way gals like Kam and Kristen Synema are politician 8s.
Noem is a solid 8-9, and off the scale for female politicos, not to mention grandmothers.
That warbling, high-strung voice of hers is amazing. Makes my skin crawl every time!
Her disheveled demeanor, coupled with thinly veiled malicious intent, empowered by a disadvantaged intellect is… remarkable.
Kamala’s consistent performance should inspire Congress to adopt a new nomenclature for her self-perpetuating role in office.
She has clearly earned the new government title of “First Ex-Wife”

It’s surprising that this cackling half-wit’s subconscious didn’t puke up “our prostitutory” – plus, she’s historically been so adept with her mouth.
The phrase “Our Democracy” is now all the rage with Democrats. They say it with a kind of dead-eyed fanatacism that other people in the past used when saying “The Reich” or “The Revolution”.
And they really think of it as “Our Democracy”, i.e. it belongs to them, not to us deplorables whom the despise. They envision democracy as a dictatorship of progressives. Of course, most of them are fools. What they’re trying to achieve will just a feudal state in which most of them will be serfs as much as anyone else.
Their most cherished beliefs are crap. They believe nonsense such as that a man can be a woman if he chooses. They’re borderline insane. It’s really getting to be impossible to share a country with these people.
"They envision democracy as a dictatorship of progressives. " and are "trying to achieve ... a feudal state in which most of them will be serfs as much as anyone else." -Sounds eerily like a redux of Communism, b/c in many ways that's basically what it is. Unfortunately there's always a fresh supply of useless idiots too dumb to see that the evil puppet-masters pulling their strings are just using them to achieve and then maintain absolute power, and not create some happy utopia of rainbows and unicorns. Add the Weaselly-worded buzz phrase "our democracy" to an ever-expanding list of linguistic sludge used by liberal eggheads to promote their insane, pie-in-the-sky ideas: -racial equity
-systemic racism
-climate change
-reproductive choice
-marriage equality
-pay equity
-broken immigration system

Kamala and Biden share an inability to actually articulate, you know, the things.
At least she wasn’t lamenting about Willie before the address, she might have slipped in “posterior” instead.
She certainly secured the blessings of her prostitution.

Don’t worry, if it wasn’t for low blows, we never would have heard of that doxie. I’m wondering if she’s actually proud of that. What is her “look” exactly? “Slatternly Chic” is what I’d call it. She always looks like she just finished delivering another low blow. That weird, nervous laugh is the perfect accessory.
None of this makes any difference anyway. Joe and Kam are in charge of exactly nothing, they have about as much political power as Jimmy Kimmel and that Colbert guy.
We are actually ruled (ruled, mind you, not governed as a free people) by a faceless invisible junta. It’s been that way for longer than you think, and will continue for longer than you think.
The bigger tell is that all these shills, Repubes too, talk about the “Threat to our democracy.”
Yes, it is their democracy, and we the people have no reasonable expectation to say how it should be run or how we should be governed.
Now mask up and boost up and go back to living in fear, slave.
I’m honestly trying to remember, and can’t at the moment. Did Steve directly mention Ashli Babbitt’s death January 6, 2021 during the ensuing days or weeks post- “insurrection?”
I don’t think that such a person, an honest perhaps overzealous wanting to exercise her first amendment rights to peaceably protest an election (she was in fact unarmed), don’t think that such a person should be so quickly tossed down the memory hole.
If that’s too much noticing, or inappropriate noticing on January 6, only a year later, then so be it.
Ashli Babbitt.
She should not so quickly be forgotten.
Steve prefers that white people snicker behind the bully's back rather than trying to join together to fight back.
Indeed, he doesn't believe that whites should think of themselves as a people at all, despite the undeniable fact that all other groups do just that.
Steve is lost to another time and seems to just want to run out the clock. Or maybe has some personal reason for not wanting whites to push back. I don't know because he won't talk about it.
Steve has done a lot for our cause but seems either to not believe that it's his cause or fears losing something by standing up for it.
Personally, I think that such an honorable man as Steve would lay his cards out on the table, but he's choosing not to do so. It's a sad ending to a great career.

Who cares? Nobody will tolerate her for long. She’s as popular as rectal cancer. No, people, look at the bigger picture.
They are *all* jokes. Every single one. Democrat and Republican. Demanding we tolerate child rapists because tolerance, as those boys kill the rapists to join our supposed enemies because they are the only ones to stand against it. Insider training in the midst of a pandemic that ruins retailers to enrich oligarchs.
Stop with the moralistic crap from degenerates. People take moralism from those who walk the walk. They’ll also accept an honest, if sufficiently reformed, degenerate who doesn’t claim to be anything other than what he is and encourages people to be better. Not these people. After ruining the lives of thousands of Americans… they now want to put their own little moment of peeing their collective pants-in the face of what, a bunch of obese LARPers who are just doing what BLM did?-to 9/11.

Confusing prosperity with posterity. Seems like a lot of upper-middle-class folks are doing that lately: want the drywall-work or house-cleaning done well and cheaply; don’t think much about the consequences for their great-grandchildren — eager to let in the one billion who want to come.
BTW: Kamala is obviously struggling to become more presidential. Someone has told her to speak more authoritatively, and she has slowed down, quoting words that are acceptably presidential. I’m listening to kinda chilled psytrance as I’m listening to her, and she fit in so well: her speech has the same cadence as Terence McKenna. Maybe soon, we’ll hear her voice burned in some great tracks.
And yet Catholics don’t seem to have a problem with letting posterity-less men and women tell then what to believe, how to behave and how to run their church. The celibate Catholic leadership system challenges the notion that people need to have an investment into their own children to act with a low time preference.
Actually, it was not uncommon in the past for Catholic clergy to have children on the sly.
An example would be homosexuals, who have a priesthood, dedicated to the cause, that happily works and advocates for homosexuality. The Catholics should be so lucky to have priests, bishops, and a pope that would do such work on behalf of families and future generations of people bringing forth children.
If our VP showed some organizational and leadership ability, her off-putting personality would matter a lot less. People would rally around her any way when they saw that she could get them to work together for political goals.
Thank, God.

Did anybody else see Tucker Carlson’s show tonight? It contained a really remarkable incident. He interviewed Ted Cruz, who came on to the show practically groveling, after begging Carlson to give him some airtime. This all happened in response to Cruz’s comments yesterday that the January 6th rioters were “violent terrorists”. I guess Cruz saw some of the feedback (by conservatives) on Twitter and other forums where people were saying that Cruz had destroyed his own political career.
I have never seen the unforgiveable gaffe / please-please-forgive-me cycle played out faster.
It was pretty illustrative of Cruz’s oiliness and shifty opportunism.

How would/will Kamala manage? The thinking is that Biden established the precedent that the President is someone who reads from a Teleprompter. And, after reading the script, the Q&A from reporters is carefully regulated. Finally, the MSM is protective. Denial is unnecessary because the assumption is that the above Biden template would be readily transferable to Kamala.
I would add, though, that should the modern president deviate in any way from the approved Deep State script, the friendly elite media will turn on him (or her) in a flash. (See Afghan pullout.)
I predict that babbling Joe Biden will remain in office as long as he pushes booster shots. But should he ever hesitate, stories in the NYT or WaPo would appear the next day, questioning Biden’s mental fitness.
Seeing as how he isn’t mentally fit for the job, I’ll bet those stories have already been written, just waiting in a Sword of Damocles way, for the opportune moment.
Kamala is probably a nihilist deep down inside. No children of her own, no legacy to leave behind.

But the Burberry store on Michigan Avenue has attracted the rap-music crowd for some time now, as do most of the other “luxury” tourist stores. The short block on which it is located is very well-kept, as is the store itself. But all last year there were people lined up in front of the store who didn’t live in the surrounding area, all looking at their phones. I’m guessing the store was running a lot of online promotions.

Well said Reg. Obama was associated with a militant-black church in Chicago in his rise to power that I believe his wife Michelle was initially associated with, but as we all know that was just to gain credibility in the black community, which he desperately craved. Obama strikes me as the typically over – educated Ivy League agnostic. I’ve encountered plenty of ‘em.

Considering all that is going on now, this is the best topic you have to bring up?
Can anyone but a British journalist believe that these idiots were able to win the national election any more than they were able to win primaries? Maybe it would be worse had they cheated and then ruled well, or at least moderately. Biden and Harris do a far better job of keeping doubt alive than Trump or Bannon.
I wonder what is the psychological impact that this is having at this point. We are almost 2 years into this nightmare, and seems to not be abating. A lot of people are starting to show clear sifgns of PTSD and clinical depression from this.

As you can see, there is a small annual variation in total number of deaths. with an annual variation averaging 300,000 per year, which mirrors the annual population size increase.
Conversely, in 2020 there was a statistically significant increase of total deaths to 3,358,814, which represents nearly a doubling of the annual variation. All-cause mortality tends to increase proportionally due to an annual increase in population size, which includes the number of people that die from infectious diseases, such as the seasonal flue. Such a large statistical increase is abnormal, and cannot be accounted by anything other than an extraneous variable.

“Posterity” isn’t a word commonly used these days, of course. But here’s the thing: Every American has at least *heard* it because it’s in the Preamble (and I think some other documents of that era). Heck, there was even an original Star Trek episode in which a group of dispossessed American-analogues recite the Pledge and Preamble as mantras as they fight, and eventually succeed in defeating, their Asian Communist rivals.
But here’s the thing: Harris was born to two non-Americans and raised outside the United States. It’s very clear from her stilted, teleprompted reading that she has never, in fact, encountered the Preamble. I wouldn’t rule out that she had never *encountered* the word before this speech and has no idea what it means. (It helps that she’s an America-hating moron.)
(Ironically, in that Star Trek episode it gets recited emotionally, and well, at the end by Captain Kirk- an American character, but played by a non-American actor raised outside the US, in the same city as Harris in fact.)
I agree – a concise, accurate definition of a modern “American” president.
I would add, though, that should the modern president deviate in any way from the approved Deep State script, the friendly elite media will turn on him (or her) in a flash. (See Afghan pullout.)
I predict that babbling Joe Biden will remain in office as long as he pushes booster shots. But should he ever hesitate, stories in the NYT or WaPo would appear the next day, questioning Biden’s mental fitness.
Seeing as how he isn’t mentally fit for the job, I’ll bet those stories have already been written, just waiting in a Sword of Damocles way, for the opportune moment.

The main of whom Denis Healey – UK Labour Party MP, Yorkshireman, and all round political bruiser said “looked quite frankly corpse-like”, in a typical blunt, bluff and charming turn of phrase.
It’s not hard to show that democracy is inherently totalitarian. Of course you won’t listen to me, so let’s summarize some Plato for laughs.
“In such a democratic state, everyone is more or less equally free of any responsibility to anyone else, including service to the state. No one is obliged to give orders; no one is obliged to take orders; no justice can be respected or meted out.”
“Although the son may not even respect money, he will probably not respect anything else; he will become shiftless, kind of a reed in the wind, unable to control his desires, which will probably fluctuate wildly. Lacking any ability to discern differences in appetite, he will probably live solely for the moment, and he will be rudderless. His will be a life without order.”
“If oligarchy is greedy for money, so is democracy greedy for absolute freedom; it recognizes no authority whatever, neither familial nor militaristic nor academic.” Indeed under Revolution the old must respect the young, the wise must respect the fool, the rich must respect the poor. The thin must respect the fat, and the sane must respect the mad.
“The rich will complain in the Assembly; the democrats will charge them with being oligarchs and reactionaries.”
“[The tyrant] will trust no one, certainly not men of reason or compassion. He will surround himself with criminals, and he will finally do criminal acts against the very democrats who elected him.”
Wait…that last bit has already happened. You would have to work very hard to find anyone at the Capitol who has not earned a criminal record.

— “people who denigrate sexual dimorphism, marriage, family and children are enemies of civilization–evil people”
— “diversity is not a strength but always a source of contention and conflict”
— “mass immigration lowers wages, raises housing costs, congests our highways, raises taxes, destroys open space and the environment … destroys the Amercian Dream”

1) protect American territory from invasion, keeping it for Americans forever
2) create conditions ideal for healthy, competent, productive young men and women to get married, have children and create families that carry the American nation–our people and culture, traditions and valves–to the next generation

— “‘democracy’ is not rule by judges and bureaucrats”
— “our founders tried to create a system specifically to stop parasitic elites from ruling the people–unfortunately the parasites have hijacked it”

There has been a great increase in the annual death rate from 2019 compared to 2020 and 2021 that cannot be explained by other means. Statistically, it is a non-trivial increase in deaths that would need to be explained by other extraneous variables, such as a war if COVID is not a factor. Here is the annual death rate from the years up to 2019:

Such a massive variation begs some form of explanation because it is a statistical outlier. Usually, things, like wars and pandemics are the only things that can explain that.
That graph in the first link you provided is interesting. It showed deaths as relatively flat up to about 2009, and then a steady increase up to 2019 amounting to about a 20% increase over the 2009 level. I assume that's largely due to the Baby Boomers aging out and dying. The Boomers, being such a large cohort of the population, might well represent a demographic overhang - a lot of old people in less than optimal health who are especially likely to die when a pandemic comes along.

You really have to start looking at our ruling class like the Soviet Politburo or the ruling clique of the CCP, where accusations of “corruption” or ideological deviation are really just power battles.

As you can see, there is a small annual variation in total number of deaths. with an annual variation averaging 300,000 per year, which mirrors the annual population size increase.
Conversely, in 2020 there was a statistically significant increase of total deaths to 3,358,814, which represents nearly a doubling of the annual variation. All-cause mortality tends to increase proportionally due to an annual increase in population size, which includes the number of people that die from infectious diseases, such as the seasonal flue. Such a large statistical increase is abnormal, and cannot be accounted by anything other than an extraneous variable.

As you can observe, the total number of deaths variation from 2018 to 2019 is roughly ~15,000. Conversely, from 2018 to 2019, there was an increase of 400,000 deaths *above the annual variation* which is roughly stable for almost the 20 years prior.Such a massive variation begs some form of explanation because it is a statistical outlier.

I wasn’t talking about deaths, but about “cases” which in current parlance is anybody who tests positive for SARS-COV-2, even if they aren’t sick.
That graph in the first link you provided is interesting. It showed deaths as relatively flat up to about 2009, and then a steady increase up to 2019 amounting to about a 20% increase over the 2009 level. I assume that’s largely due to the Baby Boomers aging out and dying. The Boomers, being such a large cohort of the population, might well represent a demographic overhang – a lot of old people in less than optimal health who are especially likely to die when a pandemic comes along. There isn’t really anything surprising about that. And it’s hardly a reason to transform society into a medical tyranny.
The increase in annual death rates from 2009 to 2019 doesn't matter, because the increase in annual death rates from 2019 to 2021 is much greater that that, and I hardly think that ageing Boomers could explain such a dramatic increase in such a short period of time.
And infection rates don't matter either, because I am talking about people that actually died, and not just those that got infected. Some 7.4 million total deaths from 2019 to 2021 compared to roughly 6.5 million from 2017 to 2019 is too big a variation to be explained by the small variation anually caused by flu seasons, or accidents for example(in some years, more people die from accidents than in others, but not to the degree that would explain such a discrepancy).

I'll probably fail, but, at least, I'm trying.
How about a Sailer Strategy for white Americans?
Btw, I'm fine if you don't believe in identity politics for any group but can't you just be open about the fact that you don't believe whites should organize politically like literally every single other group.
Murray states it loud and clear. Admittedly, it makes him look like a fool, but I suspect that you could present the case as to whites should lie back and think of Citizenism better than Murray.

I share your distaste for Citizenism. Like most of Steve’s supposedly brilliant insights, Citizenism is a simulacrum—it is a reference with a referent. I have no idea what ‘Citizenism’ is even supposed to mean, and there is no non-tautological definition of it.
But on the other hand, White Identitarian politics is not a reality, either. The whole history of Europe consists of white people mindlessly slaughtering each other for thousands of years. There has never been a felt kinship among white people based solely on ethnicity.
In this tragic respect, at least, whites are no different from other races.
Do blacks act as a unified group? In the field of political giveaways, perhaps, but not otherwise. Blacks kill each other with alarming frequency, both in America and Africa.
Do sub-continentals act as a unified group. Again, only in the context of Western social systems. In every other respect they are caste-obsessed and internecine.
Every “race issue” in modern culture is not really about race at all. It is just one particular theater of combat in late imperial politics, as various ephemeral factions seek to raid the public weal for its accumulated capital. White people already participate in this as much as anyone else, but they don’t do so qua ‘white people.’ They do so as members of a certain oligarchic class. White Identitarian politics is the belief that whites should become “raiders qua whites” instead of “raiders qua oligarchs.” This is not going to happen because the white oligarchs despise ordinary white people with a vehemence.
The real battle is between the oligarchic class and the yeomanry. Both sides in this fight have a very heterogeneous racial mixture. The yeomanry includes deplorable whites, many Hispanics, lots of Asians (SE Asians especially), and a few blacks. The oligarchy includes laptop whites and a motley crew of international arrivistes from every corner of the globe, plus the 4th estate canaille (i.e. ghetto blacks, Merkel’s millions, and white degenerates).
In the last analysis, your real “race” is almost identical with your real “class,” i.e. those with whom your natural interests align. This sort of thing cannot be faked, and it cannot be disinherited. An interest is an interest, rooted in facts and established by the unwavering demands of existence. Such interests do not fall out along ethnic lines. To address the real conditions of the moment, it would be better not to talk about ethnicity at all, for it does nothing but obscure them.

If you read my reply to him, that is exactly what I said. Yes, that is my point exactly that there is no other variable that can explain an increase in one million deaths above the normal annual increase of 300,000 per year. There should have been 600,000 extra deaths in the year of 2021 compared to 2019, but there were actually 1.1 million more. The extra 500,000 begs an explanation.
So why are you replying to me, since you are saying exactly what I am saying? COVID is absolutely lethal. I just said it is not as lethal as if they somehow engineered Ebola to become airborn.

A lot of them are due to COVID. Yes, pandemics kill people. That’s what I was saying, if you had bothered to pay attention. Most of them were old and/or frail. Diseases do that – they tend to kill the old and frail. And if you have a large demographic overhang, which a lot of western countries do – the US has one due to the Baby Boom – it’s going to result in a lot of deaths.
How do you explain those excess deaths that can NOT be attributed to COVID? That would seem to be an interesting question, and one that the medical establishment is wholly uninterested in. And what fraction those are of the total is, I think, open to dispute, as the COVID totals are likely inflated.
I can sympathize. I once believed all that stuff too, but it’s impossible to reconcile with the actually existing World around us.

Don’t you people have some stashes of poison?
Anybody else have trouble distinguishing John Legend, Pharrell Williams, Don Lemon, and Jussie Smollett? Jussie seems to be the most masculine of the four.
So a 65 year-old that dies due to COVID, but would otherwise have lived to be 80, that death doesn’t matter? A life that is cut short by 15 years, and a horrible death at that, by slow asphyxiation. I think that is relevant. Also, young people can and do die from COVID too, especially those with chronic lung diseases like bronchitis and asthma.
As for deaths that are not due to COVID, those deaths actually are due to COVID as well. Deaths from other diseases that you develop while on COVID only developed due to COVID in the first place. Like, for instance, a lot of people with HIV don’t actually die from HIV: they die from things like the common cold, after all their T-cells have been destroyed by HIV. But, the point is, they wouldn’t have died from that cold in the first place if it weren’t for the HIV destroying their T-cells. So the real cause of death is not the cold, but the HIV that allowed the cold to become such a threat to the body.
Likewise, someone that has COVID and dies from cardiac arrest due to the enormous effort to breath, didn’t actually die from cardiac arrest and actually died from COVID, because they wouldn’t be in the situation of having a cardiac arrest if they weren’t infected by the COVID in the first place. I reject “other causes”, because all these other causes are simply complications from the major illness.
But I do agree that these restrictions are way overboard and that the harm done to people’s health, especially mental health, from all these restrictions is terrible.
Who is this person you are arguing with? Not me. I never said they didn’t matter.
No, that is not true. Not the people who died an accelerated death from Alzheimers because they were cut off from their families for months on end. Not the people who died of heart attack and stroke because they were freaked out about the pandemic and didn’t want to go to the hospital. Not the large number of people who have died of drug overdoses over the last 21 monts. Not the people who suffered harm – up to and including death – from the vaccines themselves. And certainly not the people who died of gun shot wounds, motorcycle accidents, and the like, who were listed as COVID deaths simply because they tested positive for SARS-COV-2 (that happened).
“Who is this person you are arguing with? Not me. I never said they didn’t matter.”
You said ” Most of them were old and/or frail. Diseases do that – they tend to kill the old and frail”. Weren’t you implying here that COVID killed them because they were old? Because that seems to be the argument that you were making.
“No, that is not true. Not the people who died an accelerated death from Alzheimers because they were cut off from their families for months on end. Not the people who died of heart attack and stroke because they were freaked out about the pandemic and didn’t want to go to the hospital. Not the large number of people who have died of drug overdoses over the last 21 monts.”
How many people literally died of heart attacks and strokes because they were afraid of COVID? It can’t be that many. Even most people that are robbed at gun point and receive death threats from the robbers do not drop dead from a heart attack – although it certainly does happen. How many people had strokes out of fear of COVID? And how many drug OD deaths are related to COVID? I doubt that can explain more than a fraction of a million deaths. How cerain are you that this is statistically relevant?
“Not the people who suffered harm – up to and including death – from the vaccines themselves.”
From what I understand, and I am not a pharmacologist although I hold degrees in organic chemistry with a minor in biology, severe side effects from the m-RNA vaccines used for SARS-COVID-2 are very rare. There have been only a few deaths out of tens of millions of vaccinated people, mostly from myocarditis. As for “harm”, if you mean irreparable damage and not unpleasant side effects, they seem more common than death but still very, very rare. Serious complications from vaccination need to weighed against the potential death from infection from the virus, and evaluated in a cost-benefit analysis. I personally haven’t taken the vaccine because I have inherited cardiovascular disease, and it is a risk, but I know many people who took the vaccine and they at least seem unharmed.
“And certainly not the people who died of gun shot wounds, motorcycle accidents, and the like, who were listed as COVID deaths simply because they tested positive for SARS-COV-2 (that happened).”
If this is true, then it could certainly inflate the COVID death toll number. But how many such cases are there? I doubt that there are that many. Even if it is half, which is doubtful, that still means the virus killed half a million people.
I agree that this is going on for almost 2 years now, and this has to end. No one can stand this situation anymore. Obviously, there are going to be endless variants, so endless vaccines and quarantines are not going to work. And in the long run, the economic and social cost is daunting.
Yes, COVID killed them because they are old. That isn’t good, but it happens. It also isn’t a reason for society to collectively set it’s hair on fire and run around like mad-men. You try to protect the vulnerable. That is NOT what government’s did. They quarantined the healthy, while shoving infected people into nursing homes.
How do you know. Did you count them? Who is going to count them? Anthony Fauci? And, by the way, OD’s are up massively over the last 21 months.
No, that is not “from what you understand”. That is “from what you have been told”. Deaths on the VAERS database are north of 20,000 now. Undoubtedly, not all of them are due to the vaccines. Undoubtedly, many of them are. Then there is the fact that many vaccine injuries are never reported.
Look, back in March of 2020, Deborah Birx said that the CDC’s guidance was that every death was to be counted as a COVID death if the person tested positive for SARS-COV-2 or even if the certifying doctor just suspected that the person had COVID (no lab result required). That was also stated on their website. She said it on national TV in the White House. I saw her say it. Those directives stand up till the present day.
