I don't. But you supposedly do and continually don't know WTF you're talking about.Do you?
No, not "almost every single one of those deaths" was preventable. That is a ridiculous statement on its face.427,000 people aged 75 and younger have died of COVID in less than 24 months.
COVID-19 deaths by age U.S. 2023 | Statista
Between the beginning of January 2020 and June 14, 2023, of the 1,134,641 deaths caused by COVID-19 in the United States, around 307,169 had occurred among those aged 85 years and older.www.statista.com
Since April 2021, almost every single one of those deaths was preventable.
I know you'll redirect with your next response, but even you have to be able to grasp what's going on here.
IOW, you are no more likely to die since covid as before covid.94% of covid deaths had other pre-existing conditions.
Average covid death age according what is posted here is 79. The average life expectancy is 78.5 in the US. 🤔
Hey Mike's, I don't give medical advice. I shared two studies that indicate immunity acquired through getting COVID is robust and Johns Hopkins has documented it has so far lasted two years. The other article written by a doctor then makes the argument that our public policy needs to recognize natural immunity as good as being vaxxed. We are the only industrialized nation that ignores it.Sorry, I don’t get my vaccine advice from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factor in the WC. I consult with experts in the field and physicians. That’s why I’m indestructible and the rest of you morons are constantly sick or living in fear
You have to admit, it is ****ing hilarious watching him simultaneously brag about having a science degree and then use his anecdotal evidence with a sample size of 1 as if that is proof of the same caliber as a peer reviewed study, in the exact same post.I don't. But you supposedly do and continually don't know WTF you're talking about.
Johns Hopkins doesn't publish anecdotal evidence dumbass.You have to admit, it is ****ing hilarious watching him simultaneously brag about having a science degree and then use his anecdotal evidence with a sample size of 1 as if that is proof of the same caliber as a peer reviewed study, in the exact same post.
The irony is almost overbearing.
Tell that to my 93 year old mother in law staying with me at the moment.79-year olds deserve to die.
I posted two studies ,CDC and Johns Hopkins . Legitimate science based research on lasting immunity developed through infection. I then shared my personal story . I find it funny you can't see the difference and then mock me for it? Who is the idiot here ?You have to admit, it is ****ing hilarious watching him simultaneously brag about having a science degree and then use his anecdotal evidence with a sample size of 1 as if that is proof of the same caliber as a peer reviewed study, in the exact same post.
The irony is almost overbearing.
You can't possibly be this damn stupid.Tell that to my 93 year old mother in law staying with me at the moment.
I think we have more than enough evidence to the contrary, unfortunately.You can't possibly be this damn stupid.
You should stick to advice about chocolate 🍫 Willy Wonka. If you don’t like the rules in this country, move to Russia or China. People don’t even know if they have natural immunity, so you have to risk death from Delta to get it. Not smart, but we keep having to repeat it to moronsHey Mike's, I don't give medical advice.

I highly recommend you seek the advice of your doctor. I sought the opinion of two general practitioners and a cardiologist. ALL said I don't need the vaccine.
I have said it repeatedly , if you are not vaccinated, have comorbidities and are over the age of 55 consult your doctor to get vaccinated.
You all laugh me ,what ever. I have laid out my education and career moves . I am proud of my UCF science degree . I am proud of the rigors and debate and critical thinking skills I picked up from UCF. I got a great education there . None of you who mock me have yet to say what you do ,or what degrees you earned.
Science is meant to be debated,,tested and critically examined. No person who stands up and says I am science ,I am the final word should be trusted. If Science is settled then shut it all down shut the research,the universities, the funding . Shut it all down if there are no more questions . Just rely on guys like the Oracle Fauci to send us edicts from on high.
I figured everyone would look at the John's Hopkins study with promise and hope. I am not a threat to anyone , I am highly likely not going to get COVID again and I won't be sick enough to have a viral load to spread it.
I don't recommend getting alpha or delta if it ever comes back in lieu of a vaccine. However, it's time for public policy in America to recognize the 65 million survivors as good to go. That's entire point of my posting these reports. It was not to debate vaccine versus waiting to get COVID . It's to open up our nation .
You said it, so why wouldn't he respond with disgust?You can't possibly be this damn stupid.
Because it's called context, dumb ass. Read the rest of the posts from me regarding this in the thread.You said it, so why wouldn't he respond with disgust?
You should totally write about that in your diary tonight, just before you cry yourself to sleep.Because it's called context, dumb ass. Read the rest of the posts from me regarding this in the thread.
You know, you don't have to respond to everything around here. Sometimes reading something and moving on is ok instead of you looking like an even bigger retard than he. In fact, why don't you try it now?
Again, read the Results of the John's Hopkins study .Their medical school did the research, not me.You should stick to advice about chocolate 🍫 Willy Wonka. If you don’t like the rules in this country, move to Russia or China. People don’t even know if they have natural immunity, so you have to risk death from Delta to get it.

I am not. You said 79 year olds deserve to die. Who is stupid here?You can't possibly be this damn stupid.
Read. The. Rest. Of. The. Thread. Dumb. Ass.I am not. You said 79 year olds deserve to die. Who is stupid here?
Lol. None of that is true. You're just too stupid to see when Mike edits someone's post.Just couldn't help yourself could you, loser.
That's rich coming from a suicidal twat like yourself who was on here crying about blowing his brains out a few Christmases ago.
None of it is true, eh? Here are your very words, unedited, you liar:Lol. None of that is true. You're just too stupid to see when Mike edits someone's post.
I have a lot of anxiety about this christmas. After 2 suicidal episodes this year I am really uncomfortable with the idea of being around the in-laws. This year has also brought about changes with my girls. I got divorced 8 years ago and had full custody of my kids until this year. They moved in with their mom in january and things have been pretty difficult between us since then. Nobody, including my wife, has been terribly supportive of what I've been dealing with this year and I've been putting on a happy face whenever I'm asked how things are going because when I'm honest it makes things worse. I'm just tired of it and now its going to be in my face for the next few days. Nobody understands but everybody has a solution.
Sorry to vent. Merry christmas to everyone
Knightime, you posted that at 164. I responded to it ..your subsequent posts which I didn't read , yah ,make sense . But those posts were after the simple statement 79 year olds deserve to die . Perhaps that's sarcasm . There were a lot of deaths from old people not dieing from COVID but with COVID . So, I stand corrected reading your subsequent posts because there is stuff in there I agree with.Read. The. Rest. Of. The. Thread. Dumb. Ass.
Nowhere in that post did I say I was suicidal over Christmas. I was uncomfortable because of things that had happened prior.None of it is true, eh? Here are your very words, unedited, you liar:
Hilarious. You really have issues. None of it was true!!! Lmao. We should have baker acted you right then and there.Nowhere in that post did I say I was suicidal over Christmas. I was uncomfortable because of things that had happened prior.
And I can be real. And honest. Whether it's through a keyboard or in real life. Why does that make you uncomfortable and feel the need to attack?
You're on an anonymous message board, and I'm willing to bet that you aren't strong enough to admit anything vulnerable about yourself even when nobody knows who you are. I do have tons of problems. So do you. The difference is that I'm confident enough to admit it while you are a coward. You've become nothing more than an avatar that mocks others and throws bombs because it makes you feel better about your own issues. SAD!Hilarious. You really have issues. None of it was true!!! Lmao. We should have baker acted you right then and there.
You have a ton of problems. I’m perfectly comfortable pointing that out.
Hahahahaha!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂. What a pathetic loser!Nowhere in that post did I say I was suicidal over Christmas. I was uncomfortable because of things that had happened prior.
And I can be real. And honest. Whether it's through a keyboard or in real life. Why does that make you uncomfortable and feel the need to attack?
Your problem is that you are so desperate for friends and human interaction that you actually think that we give a crap about youYou're on an anonymous message board, and I'm willing to bet that you aren't strong enough to admit anything vulnerable about yourself even when nobody knows who you are. I do have tons of problems. So do you. The difference is that I'm confident enough to admit it while you are a coward.

Omicron. Same thing that happened everywhere with Omicron.Now explain what is happening in Isreal the last month hitting record deaths and infections. This from a country that is almost fully vaccinated.
You are correct. There is a natural selection of sorts going on there . I think the core problem is people want to conflate this an either or proposition. Meaning, some would argue get sick to GET immunity versus the shot . I don't hold that position.I haven't dug into this data, but there's a big risk of baking in survivorship bias. In vaccinated populations, many more vulnerable individuals are still alive because of vaccination. In unvaccinated (natural immunity groups), you've culled the most susceptible individuals already (they're dead).
Think of dumbed down extreme version like this. Imagine 1% of the pop will die if they catch the virus due to a particular risk-factor. The other 99% will always be fine no matter what, but no one knows if they are at risk. For that 1%, it's 90% fatal if your unvaxed, 10% fatal if you are vaxed. What happens over time?
Vaccination rates are ~70%, so let's assume that's how our sample of 1 million breaks down and that everyone is exposed/infected.
After Wave 1:
*300k unvaxed, 1% susceptible, 90% fatal for them = 2,700 dead. But most importantly, only 300 susceptible individuals left alive. Overall IFR of 0.9%
*700k vaxed, 1% susceptible, 10% fatal for them = 700 deaths, but most importantly, 6,300 susceptible still alive. IFR of 0.1% (8x better than unvaxxed)
Wave 2 hits the now culled population
*300 unvaxed susceptible individuals alive, 90% fatal = 270 death, 30 still alive. IFR in Wave 2 of 0.09%. Wow a 10x improvement!
*6,300 vaxed susceptible individuals alive, 10% fatal = 630 deaths, 5,670 still alive. IFR in Wave 2 of 0.09%.
Wave 3 Hits further culled population
*30 unvaxed susceptible individuals alive, 90% fatal, 27 deaths, 3 still alive. IFR in Wave 3 down to 0.009%. Another 10x improvement!
*Vaxxed pop has 567 deaths and an IFR of 0.08%.
So by Wave 3, the naturally immune (unvaxed) group has an IFR about 10x better than the vaxed group. The reality of course is that the vaccinated group is still protecting their vulnerable members at a much higher rate, the naturally immune group just doesn't have many people left who are susceptible.
You can see how easy it would be to use this data as evidence that natural immunity is providing better and better protection over time. I'm not saying that's what these studies are showing, but it would be really easy for people with a narrative to ignore the asterisks/qualifications in these assessments and publish "news stories" with erroneous narratives.
You wrote it moron. Stop lying. You’re patheticLol. None of that is true. You're just too stupid to see when Mike edits someone's post.
I think it's cleaner to track against total population when comparing country-to-country over time if you're trying to parse out the impact of vaccination on infections/deaths. Better apples-to-apples. If you only use vaccine-eligible for the denominator then that number changes over time and you wouldn't have consistent data to compare.In July they were at 85% of adults vaccinated. Crazy mentioned 95% which sounds accurate after another 7 months. Many quote kids down to age 5 as "unvaxxed" which is ridiculous. No need for them to get the vaccine. I always look at the adult population and frankly above 60 is all that should matter.
"The latest numbers show that 85 percent of Israeli adults are vaccinated, meaning there are more than five times as many of them as unvaccinated people." July 2021.
You might be missing the bigger picture here. Public policy now does acknowledge it, but the cult will ignore that too. They have no choice, because the alternative is to admit that you became passionate about something that was a lie. Then everything comes into a question and that is really uncomfortable.You are correct. There is a natural selection of sorts going on there . I think the core problem is people want to conflate this an either or proposition. Meaning, some would argue get sick to GET immunity versus the shot . I don't hold that position.
My position is the horse has left the barn for many ,including everyone like my brother and his family who got alpha before the mRNA was available. Do we ignore immunity obtained through infection regardless and say it doesn't count to prove you can go out to dinner or say maybe fly on an airplane ?
That is the issue here . However, some just freak out that anything other than to have to be jabbed repeatedly is the solution . Yet, they ignore the basic science behind how immunology works. It's like getting COVID doesn't create any immune response and only the mRNA injection does. Our public policy needs to acknowledge immunity gained through infection .
I like your analysis though. One thing is clear that two years after getting sick their bodies are still cranking out antibodies to covid.
There are 51,000 israelis over the age of 90.I think it's cleaner to track against total population when comparing country-to-country over time if you're trying to parse out the impact of vaccination on infections/deaths. Better apples-to-apples. If you only use vaccine-eligible for the denominator then that number changes over time and you wouldn't have consistent data to compare.
Here's recent data from Isreal. And you're right that ~85% of adults are vaccinated. So you have to look at case rates and severity. The article below notes that even though only 14% of adults are unvaccinated in Isreal, they make up 100% of ECMO patients.
Just try to do the math on the "over 90" group. The chart is per 100,000. Cut that in half right out of the gate. Then cut it down to covid cases. Then cut it down to "severe" covid cases.Over 80 gets iffy on dying with covid or from covid.

220,000 Israelis between the age of 80 and 89.

It's not down to 2 and 3 people. It's per 100k population - not per 100k COVID cases- so if the actual pop is ~50k then the actual numbers are half what is shown in the chart. So like 45, 7, and 25.Just try to do the math on the "over 90" group. The chart is per 100,000. Cut that in half right out of the gate. Then cut it down to covid cases. Then cut it down to "severe" covid cases.
It's probably like 2 vaxxed and 3 unvaxxed people in reality, but if you present the numbers in a certain way that fits the narrative, go for it.
