Now sort by deaths per capita, to assess what states have been doing better/worse
at Public Health initiatives particularly after the initial onslaught. One gets:

Worst (#1): Arizona (AZ)
#2: West Virginia (WV)
#3: MS
#4: TN
#5: NM
#6: AR
#7: MI
#8: FL
#9: AR
#10: KY

Golly, that’s a lot of Red “Shithole” States at the top of the worst.

DeSantis is such a crooked, lying toad. Not only for his coverup on CoVid19
in FL such as by cooking the reporting books, but also on how he's probably
getting kickbacks from the corrupt cottage industry of P&C Insurance fraud
that's been running rampant in Florida: in a healthy market, you just don't see
rates don't double within three years when there's not yet been any corresponding
increase in the rate of hurricane landings.

The latter did not eradicate COVID. But, it enabled us to get our lives
back to normal. After the vaccine came out, red state death rates (where
the vaccine was less adopted) were higher than blue-state death rates.

But if the vaccine was “fake”, then why did hospitalizations & deaths decline
so much in regions with high vaccine adoption rates, whereas it didn’t do so
in those places which had low uptake rates?

> Cloth and cotton masks will not even slow down a virus.

Another falsehood. And even DIY cotton masks had an effect,
despite not being as objectively significant as KN95’s.

The vaccine did increase complacency, but did also reduce the recession.

Yes I read your link about the red and blue states.

During the so called pandemic, the tests were faulty. Elon Musk
proved that by taking four in one day. Two positive and two negative.
Same nurse same test.

When a person died they were tested for the virus. If they had the
virus it was assumed they died from the virus. That wasn't true. How
many of those test were wrong?

The schools were closed. Children were the ones least affected by the
virus.

The virus mainly was worse for older people and people with weak immune
systems.

The lockdowns were a terrible mistake.

These boys are too young to remember that the polio vaccine wasn't
a single inoculation. It required two doses to get to 90% effective,
and three doses to get to 99%.

They probably also don't realize that there's still one "Iron Lung" survivor
still living...and that's he's spent the past 71 years living that way.

One polio vaccine in the US was discontinued because the disease
is so rare that vaccine has become more dangerous.

Like everything in our immune system, it's probabilistic not
absolute. Covid vaccine reduces the probability of disease. No
vaccine is absolutely effective. When the disease is rare enough,
probabilities shift and the vaccine can become worse, at which
point it is discontinued.

Vaccines activate the immune system to the virus surface. This
part of the virus is usually conserved because even small
molecular changes can kill the virus. Unfortunately for us covid
remains effective even after mutating its surface. Again
probability. It's improbable for a virus to have this ability
hence the struggle to kill it.

Not anymore. As Siri noted that version's side effects were an unacceptable risk,
so its just Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) as the only polio vaccine that's been used
in the USA since 2000.

In the meantime, the more we're learning about CoVid19, the worse its long term
health implications are: the Merck Manual has published that SARS-CoV-2, like HIV,
causes lymphocytopenia...

<https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/hematology-and-oncology/leukopenias/lymphocytopenia>

...which means that CoVid19 is a chronic immune system disease, which means that
contracting it has quality of life reductions and significant long term healthcare expenses
for those individual(s). Presently, the lymphocytopenia contraction rate appears to be
highly variable ... 35% to 83% ... but the most worrying part of that metric is that the
lower limit of 35% is extremely high (eg, "one in three"). Plus they're also finding that
CoVid19 is linking to cardiac arrests in people under age 30...and that's on top of how
myocardia rates in under age 25 are ~5x the population baseline.

Nope, by its mechanism being prior to infection, 'vaccine' is the correct terminology.
For treatment, there's Paxlovid, an anti-viral cocktail which if not for Government

The vaccine is not fake, and it did work at greatly reducing severe illness and

It has been established. People who get the vaccines don't get as sick if they
get COVID-19 at all, and they are far less likely to die from — not "with" —
COVID19.

> Each shot I got made me progressively sicker.

Anecdotal. I can play that game, too. I've had six shots — the two initial doses
plus four boosters — and I haven't had COVID-19 once. They work. See?

The popular misconception was that masks could keep you safe from infection. Surgical
teams don't wear mask so the patient doesn't make *them* sick, they wear masks so they
don't infect the *patient*.

Question Was political party affiliation a risk factor associated with excess mortality
during the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida and Ohio?

Findings In this cohort study evaluating 538 159 deaths in individuals aged 25 years
and older in Florida and Ohio between March 2020 and December 2021, excess mortality
was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19
vaccines were available to all adults, but not before. These differences were concentrated
in counties with lower vaccination rates, and primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio.

Meaning The differences in excess mortality by political party affiliation after COVID-19
vaccines were available to all adults suggest that differences in vaccination attitudes and
reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been a factor in the
severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the US.

At times I get rubella and percussive vaccines. Unlike you I dread
exposing the wee ones to diseases that can kill and maim them.
These aren't diseases that endanger adults. Adult vaccines are to
protect children. I would get polio vaccines if a doctor
recommended them.

Polio’s vaccination schedule calls for four doses.

The recommended dose schedule is twice the first year, then
another in the second year, and the fourth dose three years later.

Plus there’s also an adult booster dose, typically for those traveling to
higher risk geographical regions. BTDT.

But what allows Polio to be subsequently non-recurring is because we got very
lucky genetically in having a target site that’s effectively mutation-resistant.
That’s not the case for SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 viruses: their target site
mutates quickly, so it requires constant updating to maintain effectiveness.

I’ve never read it. Will have to take a look sometime.

A more rapid rate only makes the risks higher, because there’s also the
quantity. For example, an infection which has 100,000 active individual
virus cells present means that at an individual virus mutation rate of 1/year,
the overall infection is going to have 11 mutations per *hour.*

Particularly as we’re learning more & more about bad Covid SARS2 is.

Because own body’s cells mutate too; it’s where our cancers come from.
That rate is 9 cellular mutations per day, which nearly all of the time, our
body identifies it and kills it off with our T cells to keep us cancer-free.

But guess what: we’ve learned that the Covid SARS2 virus *kills* our T cells.

With a decline in T cells, we are wide open for a huge uptick in contracting cancers.

It will probably take another ~5 years for this to become evident in Stage 2/3/4
rates…but it’s already coming for those with Long Covid, which is already ~7.5%
of our population. Guess what that’s going to do to healthcare insurance costs!

Even the original, short version is a long read and once the stage is set with the virus,
the rest of the book addresses the human condition. It's King's magnum opus, especially
the unexpurgated author's edit.
