Per CDC data:
0-17yo: out of 27mil infected there were 330 deaths = 1 out of 82,000
18-49yo: out of 60mil, there were 34k deaths = 1 out of 1,800
50-64yo: out of 20mil, there were 116k deaths = 1 out of 170
65+: out of 12mil, 615k deaths = 1 out of 20Stop pretending this pandemic is serious to every age group.
- TWENTY-SEVEN MILLION INFECTED WHO THEN SPREAD IT TO MILLIONS MORE BECAUSE R≠0 IN KIDSi_monk
- i hope the science-ignoramus downvoters have enough self-respect to look in the mirror and see their own stupidity.pr2
- i-monk, you never read a science paper in your life.pr2
- But we just don't know. those stats are with all the precautions taken + vaccines in place. we just don't know what would happen if we let all just be.uan
- We have some data on it, sweden or uk at the start of the pandemic. europe who didn't believe in the danger even when italy was sounding the alarm.uan
- but somehow they all turned around. why? :-)uan
- Or stop pretending that you have any idea what you're talking about. Your big "gotcha" link cites over 10 MILLION emergency hospitalizations.garbage
- garbage, any data means NOTHING out of context. provide context rather than just meaningless number.pr2
- uan, by talking about other countries we dilute the conversation.pr2
- COVID would not be so successfully, sustainably lethal if it killed off young reservoirs. You have no idea how viruses work bruv. Wear a mask and get a vax.garbage
- Or continue to flaunt your ignorance, but I'm done with responding to dimbulbs.garbage
- garbie, there are viruses that kill off the young while sparing the old. little bit or searcher goes a long way...pr2

- pr2 did you know that viruses can spread from human to human?yuekit
- I'm not sure exactly how you would isolate the middle aged and old of society while letting everyone else get infected with zero safeguards.yuekit
- The most vulnerable are far more likely to but less likely to transmit it. If only we could work out how so many of them got it.Fax_Benson

- Also this doesn't cover people getting sick/hospitalized which is far greater number than deaths.yuekit
- STILL advocating for the “let’s not do jack shit” approach. Fucking idiot.monospaced

- the amount of horseshit ignorance i hear here is mind boggling. how the fuck you guys graduated collage in the first place? fuck, even high school?pr2
- like there are all those thousands of scientist committing their life to study then write science papers, and you use those to wipe your assholes.pr2
- it's so apparent how few of you read. like i'm talking to a bunch of illiterates who don't comprehend most basic, most BASIC, statistics or science.pr2
- You just post cdc raw data with literally no context, then yell at everyone about context, then have a meltdown about how stupid everyone is. Daily.Fax_Benson
- why put yourself through it?Fax_Benson

- All his data shows is that it isn't dangerous for children, which misses the entire point of why they wear masks. pr2 is too stupid to understand that.monospaced
- The vaccines and masks help slow the spread of coronavirus, which in turn saves lives of the most vulnerable. It's that simple.monospaced
- "how the fuck you guys graduated collage in the first place?"
-pr2mathinc - It's 'college,' fucknuts. Love that you're flaunting your stupidity at level 10 though, keep going. Entertain me.mathinc
- the data shows that the virus is not dangerous to anybody BUT 65+. Anyone who understands basic probability would understand this.pr2
- Over 150k Americans under 65 have died directly as a result of COVID, and that's not factoring in deaths by deprivation.garbage
- If you want to do silly comparisons, that's about how many Americans died over the span of 20 years in Vietnam.garbage
- You're just dumb, bro. The Daffy Duck readings of your comments are hilarious though.garbage
- Correction: "Only" 50k American deaths in Vietnam. COVID deaths under 65 has exceeded US deaths in WWI. Next hallmark for that group is dead confederates.garbage
- comparing deaths to war is a propaganda trick straight from the mass control manual. last year there were 35k deaths from car crash. So what's your point?pr2
- you are a tool (like literally a tool) in hands of those who know how to manipulate the mind so the masses.pr2
- 1. Daffy Voice.
2. Excellent job at finishing that sentence.
3. My point is COVID has killed more people under 65 in two of our countries biggest wars.garbage - Not hard stats there bro. Get a vax and wear a mask.garbage
- my point is: accept the information vacuum that you get exposed to creating a skewed view of reality. try to see the reality than just repeating talking points.pr2
- funny that's what other people would say to you. sounds like you're skewing the info to fit what you want it to be.pango
- Given that I've worked in medical publishing for fucking ages and spent most of my time parsing stats and studies, I'm not really vulnerable to siloing.garbage
- That's the industry term for what you call an "information vacuum". What you said is seen as a laughable, armchair Joe Rogan red flag.garbage
- I don't keep responding because I think you're capable of admitting you're wrong. At this point I think you're actually too stupid to realize it.garbage
- I just know you're going to say some dumb shit that sounds funny in a Daffy Duck voice. Use a ton of S's in your next impotent reply.garbage
- the ones who say they are not vulnerable because they have experience are the biggest tools.pr2
- Refresher to the part that I've already said on here that I most likely got it early February before testing was available.garbage
- Week and a half or so of me not being able to breathe. Coughing so hard that my esophagus tore and I was puking blood.garbage
- A fucking month of hiccups on every breath I took, asleep or not. My girlfriend had to learn the Heimlich and do it several times when my airway would close upgarbage
- It was so miserable that I really considered killing myself. I had good lungs from years of cycling, but whatever I had almost killed me.garbage
- So yes, I feel very vulnerable. It's becoming very hard to not wish what I went through on people like you, because your ignorance is part of the problem.garbage

Nah.. a wet market, clearly it was a wet market.
There are many wet markets in China, Taiwan.. across Asia.
it's just a unfortunate coincidence that the virus started at a wet market 15km away from one of the few BSL-4 labs in Asia. Just a coincidence.- that's why they're called coincidences. Very unlikely events that happen to happen._niko
- Thanks FauciAQUTE
- Fauci is just a little peanut in the whole bag of nuts.AQUTE
- Yet, antivaxxers prefer their chances with a lab engineered weapon experiment, than a vaccine designed to save your life.shapesalad
- Red pill Blue pillAQUTE
- Organic v GMO... but this is really GMO v SUPER GMOAQUTE
- The lab was there because wuhan is an epicentre of CST cross species transmission.inteliboy
- If you’re going to research bat viruses, wuhan is a good spot for it. Scientists don’t work based on ‘coincidences’.inteliboy
- even worse... the bat virus collection and study was supposedly being conducted in a BSL-2 lab - financed by EU and US to prevent a pandemic :-|kingsteven
- plenty of other scenarios that could lead to the version that was first detected in wuhan that aren't gain of function/ require BSL-4kingsteven
- The leaked document they're talking about here is a research proposal where a number of labs would collaborate on studying viruses. It did involve increasingyuekit
- infectivity of viruses in a lab but almost everything else in the video is wrong...yuekit
- It wasn't the Chinese government's proposal, the gain of function work on viruses would be done in the USA with the Wuhan Institute working on a differentyuekit
- part of the project, there was no plan to "release the virus" afterwards and on top of that the project apparently never even went forward.yuekit
- In spite of that it could be evidence pointing towards lab leak since it shows this group of scientists were interested in messing around with SARS viruses.yuekit
- But you have to assume the Wuhan Institute pursued this on their own, that they had SARS 2 as a backbone (which is not mentioned in the proposal), etc...yuekit

Large study involving 342k individuals.
Who ended up with COVID?
7.62% (13,273 out of 178,288) of masked group
8.62% (13,893 out of 163,838) of control groupWhat's most fascinating is that masks work only in reducing the virus presence in 50+yo individuals. Anyone below 50, the reduction is not statistically significant. (pg28)
The study is yet another thorn to the side of those who sit in the own diarrhea of fear.
BTW, the study was paid for by pro-maskers, so despite the above numbers, they still conclude that mask work...
- “ We only increased mask wearing by 29 percentage points. With higher rates of masking, we may have seen a larger effect. ”inteliboy
- Did you get your 6G upgrade yet?utopian
- "may have" means absolutely nothing to me anymore. deal with REAL data and real numbers not "may have" you pull from someones ass.pr2
- I'm missing the part where they conclude masks hurt kidsrobotinc
- you are missing the part on page 28 that says there is ZERO difference in infections of kids.pr2
- So the masks help the most at risk. That’s a good thing asshole.monospaced
- those who are not at risk, don't benefit from wearing one. how dumb can you be not to see it?pr2
- pr2 cracks me up on how he consistently misses the fuckin pointGuyFawkes
- keep it coming, shit is hilariousGuyFawkes
- Holy shit. Everyone sees it but you. Those not at risk wear a mask so they don’t spread it to those who are. You stupid fuck.monospaced
- Do these knuckle dragging morons really think the mask only protects them!? So fucking moronic.monospaced
- It’s not about fear you fucking idiot. It’s about saving lives. Only people scared are the fucktarfs like you who think the mask is dangerous. Idiot.monospaced
- What the fuck are you so scared of that you won’t get vaccinated or mask up? You goddamned pussy ass bitch. Man up you lowlife piece of shit.monospaced
- that's why you don't dispense science to people with petty brains. the numbers are just too complex for them to make any sense.pr2
- the number clearly show something significant and yet they still go into their belief system of do-good by saving others with their false science.pr2
- it's not false science, it is the primary science from the experts being adopted by all responsible goverments and companies on the planetmonospaced
- and "do good by saving others" is a good thing, not a bad thing.monospaced
- it IS a good thing if the actions actually have any tangible results. the data shows that in under 50 there is NONE.pr2

“ The interventions tripled the proportion of people who wore masks correctly. Overall, in the villages where the team distributed masks, symptomatic infections were 9.3% lower. Where surgical masks were given out, the results were even better: infections dropped by 11%. Older people benefited most: symptomatic COVID-19 in people over 60 went down by 35% in the villages using surgical masks.”
Pr2 if in public and you’re in close porximity with someone with a cold, a flu or covid... and they are sniffling and coughing. Would you not prefer them to be masked up? People are filthy. Masks are just one aspect of attempting to control a pandemic.
- young and middle-age people saw no benefit what-so-ever.pr2
- Sure, but they wore masks and it helped those people who could be helped ffs. How do you not understand?monospaced
- this is YOUR conclusion and you have ZERO factual evidence to support it.pr2
- Sure I do. Masks work at slowing spread of virus via airborn particles. It’s the conclusion of every nation and company on the planet. Are you blind?monospaced
- The evidence is in the study you yourself linked to. It's as if you stubbornly read and hear only what you want to believe, no matter what is in front you.inteliboy
- ZERO science on your part to support your religious beliefs.pr2
- there was NO STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE in people under 50. page 28 you dummies.pr2
- first of all, yes, there was a difference, and second, it's you who is the dummie for not understanding that people over 50 actually mattermonospaced

Here in Romania, down in May, when we had the last big wave and vaccines available for all, our Gov promised to have at least 10M people vaccinated by September...
We're now at over 4M with over 9M doses administered and at wave 3? Wave 4? lost count...
Cases rising again sharply after summer vacations and weddings season (rate of 3-5 per 1000 people, depending on the region), but this time fewer deaths and most unvaccinated get it and getting hospitalised, so clearly the vaccines work very well if you get it.
Anyway, point being if you get the 5G or the 6G boost available now, you'll be just fine and continue life as usual, without any restrictions whatsoever.
For the rest - the uncleaned - winter is coming boys! Better get it before you get it!
- unless you are very old, you will be fine vaxxed or not.pr2
- You have some of the lowest vaccination rates in Europe. So sorry.monospaced
- just recently heard of a 37 year old man that died after 2 months in ICU, wasn't vaccinated, healthy person, ran kilometers regularly etc.ernexbcn
- At this point being unvaxxed is reckless
All places require a vaccinated certificate to get itgrafician - You guys have some of the worst case and death rates per capita in the western world. Romania is like the anti covid vaccine country.monospaced
- I bet your science denying bitch ass wears a mask like a fucking little scared pussy when he had to. And I bet you shut the fuck up too.monospaced
- I can just imagine you going places wearing your mask like a good follower all triggered like the stupid immoral bitch you are.monospaced
- Those last two comments were meant for the previous post for pr2. Sorry graf not meant for you. Cheers.monospaced
- Sure, but each country has it's deniers, can't do nothing about it unfortunately as you know
We're going into the booster shots zone now, we'll seegrafician - Also here the discourse is not science deniers as much as regular folk just don't feeling like getting another vaccine, so more ignorance than malicegrafician

A week ago Covid-19 patient Joe McCarron was encouraged to leave Letterkenny General Hospital by an activist, who filmed the interaction. In the video, the activist said he was 'rescuing' the man, and falsely claimed treatment in the hospital would 'kill' the patient.
Joe McCarron died today.

According to the CDC (based on analyzing 600,000 cases) even with the Delta variant being vaccinated makes you:
11 times less likely to die
5 times less likely to get infected
10 times less likely to be hospitalizedhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/s…
Thinking back to all these people at the beginning of 2020 who kept saying "it's just the flu"...
Maybe this is actually a good way to explain vaccination to people who are confused by some number of "breakthrough" cases...no it's not perfect but it essentially makes COVID-19 into a less serious disease about as dangerous as the flu.
- Us non vaxxers dont trust the stats tho'Brabo_Brabo
- Go ahead, take your clot shot. But why should my decision be of any concern to you?Brabo_Brabo
- my body, my choice.. no go and "tidy your room"Brabo_Brabo
- 99.97% survival rate science denier. Put your numbers into context.Hayoth
- Reminder: Hayoth and Brabo are foolsnb
- 11x of virtual zero is still zero. you just made your 3rd grade teacher mad.pr2
- EVERY vaccine works against the virus, and EVERY vaccine falls flat on its face after 6 months while naturally inquired immunity stays strong.pr2
- pr2 you're talking as if millions of people haven't died from this. Over 700,000 in the USA alone. Some estimates put it at nearly 10 million globally.yuekit
- So you're saying it's not worth reducing that by 11 times because...actually I don't know what your argument is.yuekit
- What's so hard about getting a vaccine and then everyone gets a booster shot every half year? Literally just involves walking down to the local pharmacy.yuekit
- yuekit short: no. long: I wouldn’t feel too good if I had to start taking some medication regularly, and there are a few million healthy humans agree with me.sted
- So on one hand it's a problem that vaccine immunity fades over time...but at the same time, booster shot is also bad?yuekit
- any survival rate you can pull out of your arse (officially 98.2% in known cases but obvs higher) includes the vaccinated who are 99% protected against deathkingsteven
- It wouldn't be regularly, most likely just one or two times until the pandemic ends.yuekit
- from earlier strains. more accurate to say all the deaths are unvaxxed. than multiply that zero (when you should be dividing)kingsteven
- 2000 preventable deaths per day because your scared of a shot that killed (< 6500 people out of 160,000,000)kingsteven
- the reason for bobo, hayo, pr2 to reject vax is really simple. they dont wanna do what libs say they should do. simple as that. even if 10M died.pango
- of the 700k deaths in US, 600k+ are over 65yo. this pandemic is deadly to old people. period. you want your 11x reduction in old people?...pr2
- ...then find a way to do so without affecting the rest of the population, including the scared shitless tactics as if the virus was deadly to you or me.pr2
- and don't feed me the BS that somehow my mask wearing affects your grandma's survival.pr2
- it does.pango
- If you were visiting your grandparents in the middle of a pandemic, would you not think it's better if everyone is vaccinated first?yuekit
- You're not wrong that it overwhelmingly affects old people, but you're failing to consider some very basic stuff about how viruses spread.yuekit
- He doesn’t understand but thinks people are stupid because they do.monospaced
- if you re scared of vax and mask more than 10 million death, just say it.pango
- vax for grandma who chooses this option = fine; vax for the rest is an insane solution.pr2
- you don't use sledgehammer to kill a fly, and it seems this is exactly the sort of solution that was chosen to deal with the virus.pr2
- vaccine slows the spread among the population, including those over 65 who have not or cannot be vaccinated, you dense fuckmonospaced
- it also keeps anyone under 65 from dying when they may have before, and I can't see any reason why any of this would be an issue with anyone with any moralitymonospaced
- So, say your kid contracts it at school ... they're cool. You're cool. But they might pass it to their grandparent or other anti-vax fucktards.monospaced
- They, in turn, pass it on to others who may die. The thing here is that a vaccine helps stop that process. Do you not understand, really?monospaced
- Those at risk are either unvaccinated, or vaccinated and with a weak enough system that it breaks through. We need to at least care about this.monospaced
- But calling people stupid and scared for vaccinating is, frankly, stupid. It's a measure we can take, without risk, to end the pandemic part of this. You shouldmonospaced
- do your part. Stop being afraid of a minor inconvenience, because when you do, you just come off as a selfish, idiotic bitch.monospaced
- so according to your twisted logic, my 6 year old shall suffer loss of his learning ability, maybe even life-long contempt for school...pr2
- ...where he's being told to sit still behind dividers and do "homework" all day long only so that he could not infect imaginary grandma?pr2
- you got some way to look at reality.pr2
- just admit it. you rather 10M death than vax or mask. otherwise you just look like you are purposely trying not to understand.pango
- son, let me blow your mind - every fucking year, every fucking year at least 70mil people died without your worry what-so-ever.pr2
- then 2019 came and you started to shit your pants. bro, you got quite a lot of shitting to catch up.pr2
- so you want another 10M top of that?
70M dies already so fuck that 10M preventable death right?pango - just say it. you rather 10M dead than wear mask and vax. quit pretending you care about them science. it's just an excuse for you.pango
- just say it, you are so easily manipulated by the media that when 70mil die each year you don't care but 10mil - oh, you are livid!pr2
- Tbh. I don't know the detail how 70M died. But this 10M was cause by one single event. The pandemic. We know that, you know that. But you just anti Vax and maskpango
- You anti Vax and mask. Thats fine but keep that fuckery to your self. Don't come on internet and whine.pango

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered significant mortality increases in 2020 of a magnitude not witnessed since World War II.
https://academic.oup.com/ije/adv…
Life expectancy at birth declined from 2019 to 2020 in 27 out of 29 countries. Males in the USA and Lithuania experienced the largest losses in life expectancy at birth during 2020 (2.2 and 1.7 years, respectively), but reductions of more than an entire year were documented in 11 countries for males and 8 among females. Reductions were mostly attributable to increased mortality above age 60 years and to official COVID-19 deaths.

Ben Garrison won't seek care in a hospital because he believes health care providers have motivation to let patients die.
"I would never go to a hospital with COVID. Robert David Steele did it a few weeks ago and they killed him. The hospitals get extra money for COVID death reports, which is necessary to keep fear ramped up," Garrison told Gizmodo.
What the fuck.... imagine believing that nurses & doctors have agreed to let patients die because their administrators told them the hospital makes more money that way.
This kind of thinking is totally detached from reality. Like have you never worked anywhere before? Can you not do the most basic critical thinking before you believe such nonsense
- Maybe he'll die ¯\_(ツ)_/¯FNP14

- i came to this: me teaching grown men on the internet difference in naming of various droplet sizes...pr2
- droplets vs mist don't travel far because of their weight, mist on the other hand stays suspended in air MUCH longer. you know, physics.pr2
- aerosols contain far less of the virus, the vast majority of covid infections come from large airborne droplets in close proximity or contact with infectedkingsteven
- Masks = less mistmonospaced
- also, masks will reduce the spread of aerosols from infected people. stop picking and choosing evidence that suits your narrativekingsteven
- mist is droplets, but a smaller scale. Masks, especially n95 stop that small sized droplet being expelled. PR2 point is what exactly?shapesalad
- social distancing stops any spread through droplets because they drop from suspension withing 6ft due to their weight.pr2
- mask does NOT equal less mist, it's just slowed and redirected. it doesn't go in front of you but to the sides.pr2
