[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The delusional twitter doctor who was peddling his book about how mask policies had failed and was arguing that masks were ineffective?  Yeah that one is off the rails.[/quote]

No, the Twitter epidemiologists and doctors who built their social media profiles off of Covid hysteria. They fear losing relevancy and have a vested interest in pushing doom and gloom. [/quote]

Right, Covid is no big deal despite killing mil,ions around the world.  Must be nice to have your privilege.[/quote]

It was reported that Maryland has crossed the 14,000 deaths from COVID benchmark recently. It did make me pause because it seems like a very low number relative to what we went through in the last two years. There are more than 6,000,000 Marylanders, and the 14k deaths were heavily concentrated among the elderly with health issues. I'm sure a decent percentage would have likely died by now from something else had they never gotten infected from COVID.

[b]When I see the cold hard numbers in front of me, it does make me realize how much of what we went through in the last two years was driven by little more than hysteria and fear far more than what was needed. We'd have been much better off with a very different approach to COVID targeted to the high risk demographics[/b].[/quote]

This.  Also compare the numbers to other causes of death.  Can you imagine how much better off if we had instead focused on reducing obesity across the country?  [/quote]

14,000 includes the unvaccinated. Only about 1400 vaccinated individuals have died from covid in Maryland.[/quote]

"only?"[/quote]

Yes, that’s a small number. Annually 12,000 people in Maryland of heart disease, and another 3,000 from stroke. 10,000 die of cancer. 3,000 die in accidents. 2800 die of drug overdoses.

1400 Covid deaths in vaccinated people is low in the context of other risks and deaths.[/quote]

The 1409 was deaths for unvaccinated!  [/quote]

In Maryland, 14,029 deaths from Covid total, of which 1434 were vaccinated.[/quote]
