A lot of BS is happening.
Seriously, American has had far more access to treatment and vaccines than many nations. Yet, somehow we have the the highest death toll by far? Ya, something is not adding up.
Even if we take it at face value, the death rate for this plague is less than 1/6th of 1%. In the scope of plagues, that is a historically a very low toll.
What drives me crazy is that we see headlines about America being so astronomically high. But the media seems incapable of asking the questions it should be asking.
- How can America be that much higher than other nations?
- How can third world nations with far less access to emergency care and vaccines be doing stellar.
- How can China's supposed total # of COVID cases (not deaths) be only double America's total deaths.
Oh, there are answers. Such as any death that entails a positive COVID test being reported as a COVID test. Die in a car accident while positive with COVID, you're a COVID death.
Or the fact that COVID is a Coronavirus. Which normally was mentioned in referencing common colds. How many positives are being triggered by COVID testing picking up traits of common colds?
They're not investigating and it is pretty obvious why.
1. There is so much money to be made off this. If big pharma can make this into a mandatory annual vaccine it will result in trillions of dollars in profit.
2. Politics. There are those who want to see COVID rates inflated and see America at the top in order to push for universal healthcare. Don't underestimate the intent to leverage COVID for that.
3. On top of the fact that many states are panning for Federal handouts based on the COVID case volumes. (Balance the state budgets in the name of COVID deaths.
But basically, most of it all comes down to $$$.
Stats referenced:
Confirmed Cases: ~82 million, nearly 1 in 4 Americans.
Deaths: ~1 million, over 2 years, or 1/6th of 1% of Americans.
Deaths per million (DPM) = ~3,000
VERSUS DPM's for others....
China's= 10 (ya right)
Sudan = 112
Japan's = 235 * (Island nation, making it easier for them to isolate until the vaccine arrived.)
Australia = 275* (Island continent)
Iraq = 626, do you really believe Iraq was that much better than the US? or just not diagnosing as many cases?
Finland = 657 (Not quite an island, however, Finland/Sweden/Norway form a fairly isolated penisula. Also very cold regions.)
Cuba = 738 (also an island)
Canada = 1,000 Additionally, a very cold region most of the year.
Most other modern westernized nations seem to fall into the 1,500-2,700 DPM. The first being about half our rate and the latter being about on par.
As I have said for about two years now. We will NOT know the real toll until 5-6 years after COVID has passed. When we can look at the total number of deaths per year over time. Once we can review the total annual deaths from 2015 thru 2030 and see how much deviation existed during the COVID years, we will have a much more accurate figure.
