I fully agree with your post, Coleus. Somehow - through collective amnesia - people have forgotten the mass deaths which naturally take place with every flu epidemic. And not all of the deaths from influenza are old people - some are young. It is tragic, but that’s is our human condition.
On the topic of vaccines, I cannot help noticing that while many people are economically devastated by the shutdown, there are others who are going to make a fortune out of the vaccine, when it arrives.
that won't stop them from gripping how much pain and suffering they had during the covid theatre....
if this vaccine is made from poor unborn babies, I will not take it...
After all, you can make a lot more money pushing a vaccine onto a perfectly healthy but frightened public rather than simply treating the few who actually are adversely affected by the virus.
