  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

One source I read said "Even among those in the most heavily impacted age group (85 and older), only 13.3 percent of all deaths since February 2020 were due to COVID-19."
I have to wonder if a year and a half ago someone would have predicted that there would posts like this implying that something responsible for nearly 1 out of 8 deaths in older people would be no big deal. Kinda shows how powerful the pro-covid, anti-vaxx propaganda has been among some of its target audience.

The death rate on other matters is only irrelevant to those who want to isolate one piece of data from the whole picture.
It is if the comparison of death rates from other causes is greater. The survival rate of under 65 is what, 99%. It is doubtful that 99% of people in train accidents survive.

No adult should need to have this explained, but neither cancer nor train accidents are communicable. That is why they are irrelevant to assessing risk in relation to covid. You need to have some actual methodology behind your comparisons, if you want to make a point.

One source I read said "Even among those in the most heavily impacted age group (85 and older), only 13.3 percent of all deaths since February 2020 were due to COVID-19."

So, more than one out of ten old people dying of the same communicable disease doesn't raise an eyebrow for you? That's not something we should maybe take measures to prevent?

I hope you don't work in any capacity concerning public safety.

Those losing the discussion often say this.

You made a vacuous naked assertion. I'm not obligated to respond with substance to something of no substance.

Aren't these Christians supposed to be the "every life is sacred" ones?

Do you believe that the victims in the OP are just pushing propaganda?

I wonder why the 7 out of 8 deaths to vaccine pushers doesnt even get mentioned.

Maybe because your question is incoherent. What exactly are you claiming here - that 7 out of 8 people who get the vaccine die from it?

It was claimed that 1 out of 8 deaths is supposed to mean nothing to those who question the vaccine hype and the obvious counter is the pro vacciners ignore the other 7 deaths. I mentioned that covid isn’t close to main killer of those over 65. But the other causes are unimportant to that group.

Please, the Shut Ins of Covid Hollow were more than happy to sacrifice us "frontline" workers so they could save their own patoots. Now we see how calloused they are towards healthcare workers who rightly question vaccine safety. "They deserve to lose their jobs!"

Forgive me if I’m not buying any real concern out there for those who "work in any capacity concerning public safety".

The scariest part of all of this is the willingness of some to surrender all rights to save them from a virus that is only somewhat risky if you are over 80. All hard won rights are being laid down and those who do so insist everyone else do so too. It’s very scary.

Anecdotes need statistical corroboration to be really useful.

Otherwise we can be mislead by all the millions of people who would have gotten sick/hurt in a similar non vax period of their life.

Not saying I know nothings happening. But lets keep our heads glued on, people.
This report and these incidents deserve equal time and media attention to all of the millions spent paying celebrities to encourage people to get it. Let's hear ALL of the evidence. Not just what supports our bias.

At least listen to the lady who testifies in person, for goodness sakes, before dismissing this hearing entirely.

Again, you mangle the data and utterly fail to understand what is in front of you.

The 1 of 8 are the old people who died of COVID.
The 7 of 8 are the old people who died of everything else.

The 7 of 8 would have died anyway. They represent the normal death rate in this age group. The 1 of 8 are people who would have survived the year without the COVID pandemic.

If the normal number of deaths in this group were 70,000 per year, then last year there were 80,000. The normal 70,000 plus 10,000 extra COVID deaths.

A 13% increase in total death count in *any* demographic for a single year is an outrageous change.

No can listen to every tale a possible adverse vaccine effect. Nor every tale of getting the vax and remaining covid symptom free. Not possible.

Probabilities drawn from carefully sampled data reveal risk. Not anecdote.

My sense is people are latching onto a few scary cases and then thinking theyve got a handle on the actual risks of taking (or avoiding) the vaxxes. Anecdote is worse than nothing when approached that way.

Depends on lots of things, but looking at overall statistics for the US population on average it is many orders of magnitude higher than having any significant side effects from the vaccine.

Ball park it.
