Oops. Serious typo in my later response. I stupidly wrote: that these different measures of death rate should be compared... when I meant the opposite, shouldn't I wish I'd have written instead: What's obviously happening here is that two numbers meaning two different things are being confused by me, and perhaps others. I'm OK with either or both numbers now that I have figured out how they are being computed and what they mean. Do you know if the data you quoted is for the entire pandemic period so far?
https://gbdeclaration.org/ The Great Barrington Declaration As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection. Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice. Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed. Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza. Ctd...
Whether the Fed Banks are operated at a profit are a diversion. You question is a red herring. It make no difference if the FED is operated at a profit. The gravaman of the issue we discus is whether the Regional Fed banks are private. The St. Louis Fed told you yes.... they are private. You already admitted the Fed creates trillions of dollars with key strokes. So you have nothing after years of misdirection and lies about the FED. The very idea the St. Louis FED bank tells you he FED banks are private...should make you fall to the ground and apologize for being so wrong. But they way, thank for admitting you were wrong and that the FED does create money out of thin air. There is hope for you.
Oh... it's this complete nonsense again. You can go sign this petition and claim you are a scientist or medical professional. No checking is done. Or you can go sign the petition in the name of your favorite cartoon character. Join others pushing Mickey Mouse as a medical expert. Or you can sign the petition claiming to be someone else. Two days ago Dr. Anthony Fauci was on the petition until his name was scrubbed. Or you can see how our own Tsing Tao signed the petition as Dr. Jack Jack Theripper (aka 'Jack the Ripper") in the thread from yesterday. - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...s-doctors-sign-anti-lockdown-petition.351077/ Yes, any dimwit can go sign the Great Barrington Declaration resolution. Many of the signatories don't even exist or were signed up by someone else & are fake. of course it is sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research, a conservative think tank. The Great Barrington Declaration has already been exposed in the U.K. press as nonsense and has been rejected by the government as idiotic.
And just like in that thread, you misstated a good deal. For example, all of these Scientists and Practitioners supported it. They aren't false. Second, just because any name can be added doesn't mean they won't be vetted. You are making the assumption that on the final product there will be no vetting. An online petition works like this. Someone who is supposedly in IT should understand this.
These "scientists" and "doctors" listed on the front page are the primary sponsors of the "declaration". Most have appeared on right-wing media outlets and have been writing editorials for months pushing their no-lockdown positions.
Ah, so you're saying all of these people on the front page aren't really scientists and doctors, and they are all political right wing activists. Is that your position?
They are the people who sponsored the "declaration" and were recruited by the American Institute for Economic Research, a conservative think tank to be the sponsors. All have a history of right-wing political positions related to COVID which they have pushed publicly which is why they were recruited to be sponsors. These are not some random people who signed the petition out of the blue. So they managed to find 30 doctors and scientists across the face of the globe out of millions who were willing to sponsor the petition. They really should make an effort to add the demon sperm doctor, Dr. Stella Immanuel, to the list to properly represent their community.
To me this forum is like a gold pan, being used in a river with only fool's gold. It is my hope that the most dense of the internet trap and concentrate here. I hope it is not representative of the world at large, some days I'm not sure because of Facebook.
