Thanks for the write up. I think most of us are from the "what authorities and pharma has told us about covid is bullshit" more so than covid itself is bullshit.

I look forward to your insights as more data develops.

Thanks. Let me know if you think that my first paragraph needs editing.

I don't think it needs editing. I like that you put your cards out on the table as context for your analyses

“Remember that you will die anyway eventually anyway.”-⬅️this needs editing. And not a great follow up to “Do not freak out”, but I get your point.

I agree. I know a few people who have died of Covid - most early on (Mar/Apr 2020) with one exception. But the risk/benefit of lockdowns and vaccines has been VERY biased (towards the cash cow media eyeballs and pharma bottom line!) IMHO.

May i ask how old or sick were those who you knew who died from COVID? Weee ventilators and induced medical coma involved?

Sure. One was elderly and put on a ventilator (Mar 2020), the other 3 were in their 50s with no apparent health issues (one a marathon runner, one a dancer/super health conscious). However I later learned the dancer had a heart murmur issue as a child so I assume some related issue there (and early Mar 2020 so undiagnosed Covid initially) the runner was also Mar 2020 and died very quickly (had started to feel better and then died within a day so no time for treatment); the other lady was late 2020 and didn’t have any known issues or wasn’t on any medications. That one is surprising to me but I don’t know all the history (extended family member)

My mom has a few old friends in nursing homes. Nobody died of covid there, but one elderly woman did set herself on fire.

My mom, 80 yo, two heartattacks, unvaccinated (i insisted), i have had covid so did she, mine was mild, but hers was even milder. No big deal for 99.9% of people.

No, the vaccines weren’t available so all unvaccinated (I know lots of fully vaccinated who’ve had it though as I’m sure everyone does at this stage)
