Daily Skeptic, June 22, 2022: Death rates from Covid are lower than ever, according to an analysis by Professor Carl Heneghan and Dr Jason Oke carried out for the Mail on Sunday. The IFR is now ~0.0333%, similar to seasonal influenza.
Experts say there is little need to fear a recent surge in cases as fewer than one in 3,000 infected people now dies from coronavirus – with the rate even lower for the vaccinated.
The analysis of official data by Oxford University shows the ‘infection fatality rate’ has dropped about 30-fold since the pandemic began due to a combination of vaccine protection and naturally acquired infection.
Professor Carl Heneghan of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, who carried out the analysis with statistician Jason Oke, said: “There have been an astonishing number of Covid infections so far this year, but deaths have come down.
“Now we are looking at an infection fatality rate for Covid of around one in 3,000 which is comparable with seasonal influenza.

ReplyDeleteI think you should take a look at this.

There's a lot going on I had no idea about.
I hate it when the government stops telling us "the bad news" because they don't want us to know the bad news. Then we all assume there is none...
There are so many examples.
Thank you for that link, which I have posted above. Makes sense. Our elites no longer see any need for most people and evidently think it best to off as many as possible at the earliest opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThank you also for the six point proposal (in comment on my previous post) on how to avoid a counterproductive response to a future pandemic. I was going to respond, but am still a bit under the weather from what may be a pertussis infection.
What I fear is that when the current Western leadership gets together, critiquing their pandemic leadership is the last thing that occurs to them. More likely, they sit around congratulating one another on how brilliantly they exploited Covid to terrorize the people while making a killing on the supply of PPE and vaccines.

ReplyDeleteYes, this is one of my primary fears as well.
I'm starting to see how the war in Ukraine fits within the general scheme of the current Western leadership.
Russia and China present the specter of an alternative to the Western leadership. I'm sorry to say it, but this alternative seems to show genuine care and concern for the needs and wants of the general society. People seem to be cared for, not simply exploited and discarded.
It is spectacular to compare the poverty and famine of China in the late fifties and sixties with China's dynamic and growing prosperity and technical/scientific ascendance. Meanwhile, it is similarly spectacular to compare America's preeminence then with what we have now, a decline so marked very few continue to deny it. (The rest of the world clearly and without illusion sees America's decline. They also understand America used its time of preeminence for its own selfish ends. In general, they didn't have recourse, but now, with China's help, they do.)
Our western leadership wants to go on congratulating one another on their exploitation, but they are not the only game in town any more. So what do they do? Rather than taking what's been good in the other game (and leaving out what's bad-- quite a bit, in my opinion) they're going to attempt to militarily crush the other game. The other game isn't a bunch of helpless peasants. We may see the Western leadership have their faces rubbed in just how stupid and vile they really are.
