So because we have more people over age 65, or whatever, now, their deaths don’t count?
I absolutely believe they have done horrid things to increase the actual and counted Covid deaths far beyond what was necessary or real.
But the age adjustment argument IMO is unseemly and not too relevant.
WHO said those deaths don’t count? Sheesh.
Pointing out changes in age demographics and making adjustments for that does not mean I’m implying that the deaths of senior citizens don’t matter.
My point is that the death toll from COVID-19 is being used to prevent younger healthy people from working and going to school. During the Hong-Kong flu, businesses and schools were not shut down.
So even if the US COVID-19 death toll was 4 times higher, the non senior citizen population would not be any more adversely affected then it was during the Hong-Kong flu. So why are we keeping that portion of the population locked down?
“But the age adjustment argument IMO is unseemly and not too relevant.”
Exactly! But, that’s going to be difficult for some here to accept. Especially bloviating blowhards, who think they’re immune, and therefore pretend they’re oh-so brave, while they just don’t give a d*## about vulnerable populations. Unseemly doesn’t begin to describe that attitude.
