Covid is still the 3rd leading cause of death this year, until evidence to the contrary is presented.

Not anecdotes, not hearsay, evidence.

Over 90% were people over 65
with other conditions that
made them weak. That's why
on the way to work you only
see 2-3 dead school kids
along the side of the road,
the virus spared a lot of
them.. (ironic humor)

I still don't know a
single person that has it,
let alone has died from it.

It's a massive number when you compare it to Taiwan's 7

It's ,00069% of the population.
You need to google the
definition of 'massive', it's
not what you think it is.

Typical deaths per year in the US is 2.8 million. Currently Covid is 8% of that number. This is not a massive number. It is not insignificant but more changes are being caused by the response to Covid than the deaths. Your chance of dying from either cancer or heart disease is 3 or 4 times your chance of dying from Covid.

It's different, you can't get cancer from being near somebody with cancer.

The scope of transmission is what matters. COVID deaths can be prevented by limiting exposure. (yes Cancer and heart disease can be greatly diminished by change of diet and lifestyle and limiting smoking, but those are long term solutions).

Stress is a big factor in both. The stress level of the population keeps increasing and is causing problems now. What is it going to be in another year or two. The MSM keeps pushing the danger of Covid and ramping up the stress. They also present the false hope of a magic bullet cure. This is criminal manipulation of the population.

And it's not even a real number.
The real number of deaths
from covid is far less than
what they're putting out.
After the election this will
all go away, just watch. It
will no longer be a tool.
