    What you state is quite questionable. See for example my post #60 where I quote numbers from Veterans Affairs for essentially equivalent populations of veterans. The veterans with mean age 69 who caught either influenza or Covid were 3.5 times more likely to die from Covid than from influenza. (See also my "errata" post which followed post #60) It would be better, I would think, if you want to characterize Covid as the flu, to call it a particularly pernicious form of flu. Certainly the range of symptoms, pathology and histology for Covid is significantly different than for what we are used to finding in influenza patients.

    I don't care so much what you call it as I care about what it has done to us. Before we had widely available monoclonal antibodies and a vaccine this thing we call Covid, or a very bad flu, was killing people at an alarming rate.

    You cannot contain a virus? You do realize that Smallpox and other diseases have been totally eradicated thanks to vaccination.

  4. If it's eradicated why do people get the vaccination?

    To keep it eradicated.

    The only known examples of the Smallpox virus are in government labs. Some of those governments are unfriendly to the U.S.

  6. It's not completely eradicated though.

    You said: "very close to 0%" of double vaccinated in the U.S. end up dying from Covid.
    Please provide the raw data and not some garbage headline with zero facts to back it up.
