I really couldn't care less what other conditions people have that were making them unwell, if they'd have been here now without Covid then Covid killed them, and anyone trying to hide behind stats that argue otherwise needs to cut the bullshit and face reality.

The excess death rate is pretty damn clear. The argument that people are getting purposely mislabelled is really quite stupid.

There's also the fact that, in the US, a death certificate is a legal document.

Intentionally falsifying them (you know, like the cause of death) is a crime.

I am shocked, I tell you.

Very irritating that vaccinated people are bearing the burden of trying to protect their fellows by wearing masks, keeping distances, etc. while unvaccinated idiots prance around, publicly burn masks, wave anti-vaccine signs, conduct disinformation campaigns, refuse to mandate mitigation measures, and blatantly discourage anyone from taking any action to protect themselves, their kids, their relatives, their friends, or their fellow Americans.

I have zero sympathy for the unvaccinated who are ending up in the hospital whining and full of regret. But there is a small percentage of vaccinated people who are getting sick  because the unvaccinated are allowing the virus and its mutants to continue to circulate freely because it is finding plenty of unvaccinated hosts.

Sorry I should have said MD's. I wasn't trying to lump quack Chiropractors in there when I said Doctors.

Good news for those with immune system challenges. Interesting that they call it the CCP virus (Chinese Communist Party).

"the agency [FDA] said the drug combo can now be given to high-risk groups as a measure after exposure to prevent progression of the disease."

You find it odd Falun Gong blames the CCP?

Problem: The ignorant hicks in your state legislature have made it illegal to require vaccinations at your college.

Solution:

First, the college will require all students to be tested weekly for COVID.

Second, it will charge all students a $500 fee for COVID testing. The college says it must levy this fee since it won’t have federal money this year to offset COVID mitigation costs.

But …

If a student has been vaccinated or chooses to get vaccinated while on campus, they will be exempt from the weekly testing and get a $500 rebate.

Also, unvaccinated students will have to wear masks on campus, as the CDC has said they should, and they will have to quarantine whenever they come in contact with someone who has tested COVID-positive.

Hi Robert,

Re:  First, the college will require all students to be tested weekly for COVID.

Hi folks,

I think it was Einstein that said something about doing the same thing over & over and expecting different results:  Oregon family reunion leads to COVID-19 outbreak, even among vaccinated - oregonlive.com

Some people just will not learn.

Maybe not Einstein.

And quantum mechanics suggests that doing the exact same thing and getting different results is quite likely.  Heisenberg would probably agree.

Fair enough.  And the Delta variant should really be renamed to the GOP variant, due to their support of the virus.

I'm actually ok with the morons culling themselves.
They're certainly doing a good job of it right now.

Daily deaths were 725, 7 day average is 450 and rising.
Virtually all the deaths are unvaxed.
