[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]

Are you crazy? Do you know how many more people would have died if we had just let it rip? Not to mention collateral damage from hospitals being constantly overwhelmed. The numbers you are looking at resulted from the policy you’re pooh poohing.[/quote]

No, not the exact number. But I do know the vast majority would have been elderly and that we wouldn’t have a problem with social security or medicare anymore.[/quote]

WTAF! Do you hear yourself. Please don’t pass this ageist shit on to your kids. [/quote]

My kids know dying is a natural part of life. It is troubling that you don’t seem to acknowledge that.[/quote]

Dying alone gasping for air because selfish a-holes were too big babies to be responsible citizens and wear masks is not a natural part of life. Your poor kids.[/quote]
