    You claim: “This last statement is flat untrue. Many people have died with no underlying physical conditions. That is a fact.”

    Cite the cases.

    Oh, wait… I’ll save you the trouble. Here’s a report from the UK: https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/deathsfromcovid19ofpeoplewithnounderlyinghealthconditionsbyage

    But HERE’S the kicker: “Out of the recorded pre-existing conditions within this report, obesity is not recorded.

    OBESITY IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO COVID DEATHS. It’s a factor!

    The article you posted refutes your position that no-one dies without pre-conditions. I will remind you: you haven't said that people with pre-conditions are at the greatest risk. Your position has been that essentially only people with pre-conditions are at risk.

    And, it just needs to be repeated over and over: death is not the only thing that one should consider. For many, there are long-term serious side effects.

    Also, not to be overlooked, why do you have so little empathy for people with "pre-conditions" as you call them. It isn't as if all these people with pre-conditions were about die.

    Do you consider age a “pre-existing condition”? Because those in the category of senior make up the majority of deaths. By a wide, wide margin.

    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investigations-discovery/hospitalization-death-by-age.html

    You keep changing your argument. There is no question that age is a huge factor. But that is categorically different from your repeated assertions that ONLY people with pre-conditions (including age) are at risk of death. Even in the article you posted people with no risk conditions and in the prime of life died.

    Many many many people that are not elderly and have no pre-conditions have died. That is indisputed. Is it the minority of the HUGE death toll. Yes. But you didn't argue that healthy people are at less risk. You repeatedly claimed that they were at no risk.

    AND that of course ignores that caring people consider near-death and long-term health consequences as important parts of the equation.

    You continually assert things I have not said. Saying them a dozen different ways doesn’t make them factual.

    Unfortunately, the willfully-non-vaxxed spread the virus to the vaccinated and those that can't be vaccinated. Pediatric hospitals in some states in the U.S. have reached their capacity. And that affects their ability to treat patients.

    One of the big lies is that the decision is merely personal... with no regard to the impact on others. The choices we make for ourselves affect others.

    Two things.

    1. Ivermectin has been, and will continue to be, completely debunked. It’s nonsense and there’s not a serious scientist alive who will say otherwise without being paid by a pro-ivermectin group

    2. @espiegel123 i love you dude.

    This is just factually incorrect. Now I'm not saying with certainty that Ivermectin is a miracle cure, but...

    People are members of pro Ivermectin groups because they believe it works. There is not an Ivermectin drug company paying anyone! its out of patent, any company can make it. Surely you see the people with financial incentives are the big drug companies with their new drugs? Painting the pro Ivermectin groups as some kind of shady grifters is laughable.

    That LA Times article is full of misinformation. Do they mention that the discoverer/inventor of the drug won a nobel prize for it? No. They, and the people they quote dismiss it as a veterinary drug. Lots of human drugs are also used on animals, it's irrelevant. It has saved millions of people from debilitating parasitic diseases, but they add a hint of that almost as an afterthought. Obey the narrative at all costs though....

    How's this... "Approximately 250 million people have been using ivermectin (IVM) annually to combat many parasitic diseases including filariasis, onchocerciasis, strongyloidiasis, scabies and pediculosis"
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31071469/#:~:text=Approximately 250 million people have,, strongyloidiasis, scabies and pediculosis.

    250 million. Annually. Does that mean it works on Covid? No of course not, but it gives you a picture of how biased that LA Times piece is. It's about the narrative, it's about toeing the lie, and associating the drug with Trump because that's America's tragic polarisation and derangement. Trump is utterly irrelevant and it's just fucked journalism to play these partisan games. Calling people loopy, playing guilt by association games. They are little smart-arse, pseudo-intellectual virtue signallers. But I'm sure they mean well .

    The flawed study mentioned was ONE in a large meta analysis. With that result removed, the overall results were slightly worse. The person who carried out the meta analysis has worked for the WHO. Why don't they report it that way. coz narrative. ... And the Gorski bit has been shown to be an incorrect interpretation and is basically irrelevant.

    The people who are fighting for covid, mainly, are frontline doctors who were trying anything that worked in the early days of the Covid outbreak, and they found this drug working. People like Pierre Kory who gets tarred as a right wing loony, when he has openly described himself as a liberal. If some right wing senator invited him to testify, should he refuse because of the US' screwed up polarisation? I think he probably cared more about getting what he sees as an important message out. But there goes that great guilt by association game the US media etc play.

    The situation is still not clear, regarding the efficacy of Ivermectin. There is plenty of circumstantial evidence, especially when it has been used early or even prior to exposure, less so later in the disease, which is what some trials tested.

    But the way you presented it is factually wrong, though it's good for recognition of Correct Thinking and the comfort that comes from the narrative

    The vaccines got emergency use approval only, due to having less testing than is normally required. This is only granted if there is no other effective treatment available. Would that subliminally affect the decisions made by authorities and legislators who are in cozy relationships with big drug companies? It's not out of the question. Who wants to hear about a cheap drug that seems to be having a great impact? The story develops that anyone who think this drug works is crazy. Not necessarily a conspiracy. Just human nature doing its thing where businesses have a vested interest.

    Edit for clarification... I'm referring here to your first thing, not your second.

    Testing was rushed in timescale comparable to other drugs, but there were far more trials compressed into the timeframe and generally more peer reviews of the drugs than normal.

    The study of ‘long Covid’ has really just started, but with initial findings, if, as is suggested by the study, then the implications for healthcare systems and the wider economic system, long term, could be dire.

    Thing which is most funny to me (but also sad) is is that people who are afraid of negative effects of vaccination have also no problem eating tons of painkillers and other chemical shit like that. People should just read sometimes list of potential side effect of everyday painkillers. It's fucking hell compared to vaccines (especially modern mRNA ones).

    I had near to zero fear from vaccine, but I'm literally scared to death when i have some pain big enough i feel like i had to take some painkiller, after i readed all potential side effects :lol: :lol: :lol:

    There's that, too. Really, the moment you start picking at these "arguments" they tend to fall apart. That's why they mostly stick to statements, either with no facts behind or the usual "look, I found a video from this one random doctor who may look a bit dodgy plus he's actually a gynaecologist, but he disagrees with all his immunologist colleagues so he's right".

    Interesting stats from CDC:

    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burden.html#anchor_1607017225822

    People aged 18-49 make up 25% of hospitalisations
    People aged 5-64 make up 26% of hospitalisations
    The 65 and up make up 46% of hospitalisations

    So, 18-64 are about half. That's more than i expected.

    As far as deaths go:

    18-49 are 5%
    50-64 are !5%
    and the 65 plus are 80%.

  • @SimonSomeone There’s a massive thing you’re maybe missing here, which is that getting vaccinated will also largely stop you spreading it. To your immune-suppressed elderly neighbour, or relative. To the person you brush past in the street who is undergoing chemotherapy and cannot be vaccinated. Etc.

    Some of us who have gotten the vaccine have done it for the greater good. Taking ivermectin, even if it was effective, which it isn’t, would help the taker only. Personally I can’t even begin to understand a thought process that amounts to “screw everyone else, I’m sorted”. I would hate to think I’d killed someone just because I’d rather take a drug that absolutely nobody is seriously saying has any effect on COVID, than take a vaccine that is conclusively proven.

  • I am still trying to get my head around large numbers of people thinking that even if it were true (which it isn't) that only people with underlying (many of which are not life-threatening) health conditions died that they don't think society has an obligation to protect those millions at risk. (And just repeating, risk isn't actually limited to those people).

    Something is seriously wrong when so many people see those people as expendable.

    [Also economically idiotic, since one precondition is being over 59 -- and a pretty sizable chunk of our managerial and executive class is in that risk group. Not that those people are more important than other people. But the people making the argument that those people are expendable, also tend to see life through the lens of economic expediency (which to my mind is kind of ghoulish -- but it is what it is)].

    The main conclusion that can be drawn from this personal statistic is more positive than you (or others) might think. It's not that the vaccine does not work - it's that you know the right kind of people, those who had themselves vaccinated. :)

    That's because, as the proportion of vaccinated people goes up, it's inevitable that an increasing proportion of new cases will be from among them. For example, if one's friends happen to be 100% vaccinated, then by definition every single new infections among them can only be a vaccinated person. But they will still be much better protected than the antivaxers.

    Were they symptomatic?

    Did any of them end up in the hospital?

    As public health experts and epidemiologists have said since the beginning, vaccination is important but not sufficient for minimizing the virus' impact. Even to the degree that some vaccinated people become infected, the amount of protection that it offers is huge.

    The overwhelming majority of hospitalizations and deaths since the vaccine became widely available have been among those that are unvaccinated.
