Covid is a disease of the old and sick

Covid is a disease of the old and sick. Full stop. This is not even questionable. The characteristics of the disease and the vaccine do not warrant the whole population to take the vaccine. This also exposes why all the lockdown measures were not effective and how they ended up making things worse. Any honest person would agree.

Report from the hyper-super-credible CDC:
Characteristics of Persons Who Died with COVID-19 — United States, February 12–May 18, 2020
[not the most up to date, it shows risk without vaccine]

Demographic and clinical data about COVID-19 cases are reported to CDC from 50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, and U.S. territories using a standardized case-report form (case-based surveillance) or in aggregate. Data on 52,166 deaths from 47 jurisdictions among persons with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were reported individually to CDC via case-based surveillance during February 12–May 18, 2020. ...[useless race crap] 79.6% were aged ≥65 years, ...[more useless race crap]... Median decedent age was 78 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 67–87 years). [this is literally the average life expectancy lol] Because information about underlying medical conditions was missing for the majority of these decedents (30,725; 58.9%), data regarding medical conditions were not analyzed further using the case-based surveillance data set. Because most decedents reported to the supplementary data program were also reported to case-based surveillance, no statistical comparisons of the decedent characteristics between the data sets were made.

...

At least one underlying medical condition was reported for 8,134 (76.4%) of decedents for whom supplementary data were collected, including 83.1% of decedents aged <65 years. Overall, the most common underlying medical conditions were cardiovascular disease (60.9%), diabetes mellitus (39.5%), chronic kidney disease (20.8%), and chronic lung disease (19.2%) (Table 2). Among decedents aged <65 years, 83.1% had one or more underlying medical conditions. Among decedents aged ≥85 years, 69.5% had one or more underlying medical conditions. Diabetes was more common among decedents aged <65 years (49.6%) than among those aged ≥85 years (25.9%).




If this were acknowledged by the media and the rest of the people in charge, then more sensible polices could have been implemented that respected the freedoms of extremely low risk people while doing actual things that would work for the vulnerable groups. It realistically only makes sense for the old and sick to take the vaccine.

Too bad the people supporting the current narrative are self-righteous narcissists - that way you know that no humble admissions of mistakes and better policy would have ever followed






Some more context ^
Since the beginning of all this only 2.5% of the deaths have been younger than 40 - this doesn't even break out by underlying conditions yet. The absolute risk for my age group (30-39) is stupidly low with just the known cases. Can guarantee that the actual number is way higher too.

Number of cases that is.

 

Covid, like the flu, cannot be eradicated with mass vaccination. This is why mass vaccination has never been enforced for the flu nor does it make sense for covid.

Plus, herd immunity can be achieved by people getting the virus as well, so the same thing could be achieved by vaccinating the old and sick and then letting the young and healthy to get the virus. So why is this an invalid method?

If I have to get a vaccine for bob's vaccine to work, then it begs the question on the effectiveness of the vaccine.

So far, nobody has explained to me why its necessary for the young and healthy to take the covid vaccine but not necessary for them to take the flu vaccine, even though both viruses and their vaccines have similar characteristics. This makes no sense.

That reasoning is backwards. Think about it. If the whole population gets vaccinated, the virus strains/variants that gets left behind will be the ones more resistant to the vaccine. This is basic evolution game theory.

Remember, the characteristics of covid parallel that of the flu - both are respiratory diseases, they mutate quickly, both vaccines are not 100% effective and there are significant number of breakthrough cases, they are mostly lethal to the old and unhealthy and relatively minor for the young and healthy.

 

lol. You still can't engage honestly.

 

This study is garbage because it doesn't break out risk by age and health status.

lol. heroic. So you are another propagandized idiot.

 

Holy crap. WTF is wrong with this table? It's all jumbled up and there are multiple overlaps in the age ranges. lol. Try reading the table before you post it. Geez. Basic stuff Mr. Science. lol
Never accuse me of butchering data when you can't even get a decent table together. Pathetic. This is also provisional data, which isn't finalized, which means they have corrected for errors etc.





This literally is a disease that targets the old and unhealthy.

 

lel. Moving the goal post again are you? The whole conversation is about hospitalizations and deaths, not merely getting the virus itself. It is very clear from the data that hospitalizations and deaths are overwhelmingly with unvaccinated people who are old or unhealthy and that its rare for unvaccinated young and healthy people to actually be in the hospital or die from the virus. Why can't you admit that? (even then, the vaccinated old die more than the unvaccinated young and healthy lol)

You act like an unvaccinated young and healthy person is fated to die or be hospitalized. What on earth possesses you to think this way? You act like a healthy 30 yr old has the same risk as an unhealthy 70 yr old. This obviously untrue.

 

Seethe harder. You have yet to prove me wrong. You are too much of a coward to even try. pitiful

 

lol so nothing then. Please move away from the southeast and take your poisonous ego with you.
