For a vast majority of the world's human population, there was no threat of succumbing to COVID 19. The threat of a deadly pathogen was greatly exaggerated.

Commentary from Jeff Childers 'Coffee & Covid'

'A new pre-print study published on medRxIV last week titled, “Age-stratified infection fatality rate of COVID-19 in the non-elderly informed from pre-vaccination national seroprevalence studies.” In the study, researchers calculated the current worldwide ‘infection fatality rate’ for covid. You remember the IFR — it’s the ratio of number of deaths to number of confirmed infections.

Back in the day, you could get canceled for comparing covid’s IFR to the flu’s IFR.

The researchers found, for unvaccinated and for previously uninfected, the median covid infection fatality rates were:
0.0003% at 0-19 yrs

0.003% at 20-29 yrs

0.011% at 30-39 yrs

0.035% at 40-49 yrs

0.129% at 50-59 yrs

0.501% at 60-69 yrs

I probably don’t need to say this, but for all cohorts under 50, these IFR’s are far below the flu. For 50-59, the covid IFR is comparable to flu. And, flu IFR’s are also higher for older people, I just don’t have those figures handy this morning.

So.'

In this Dutch CDC data, the IFR for the flu is at .16.
Which makes the seasonal flu more deadly than Covid for most people under 60.
Of course nothing is Black or White, there are always many variables.

Tell that to the thousands of bereaved who lost family members…and to those who are now suffering from Long Covid. Tell that to the medical staff at the hospitals who nursed the severely ill and dying round the clock, in shift after exhausting shift. I do wish you would stop posting this propaganda. The only reason the death rate isn’t even hugely higher than it is is because of the vaccination programme. The only reason the hospitals weren’t completely overwhelmed and unable to cope with even greater numbers needing ventilation was because sensible public health measures such as social distancing and vaccination was put in place and followed by the majority of people. Stop posting such nonsense…the majority here are not interested in your obsession, we are just getting on with life in a world which Covid, whilst still with us is not now likely to kill or hospitalise us if we do catch it, due to most of us sensibly being vaccinated.

I am posting facts. You are the one that is posting propaganda. There was never a need to inject people with an experimental unapproved mRNA biologic that does not prevent infection or transmission of a virus. Many people would be alive today if proven prevention and treatment protocols had not been prevented from being used in Big Pharma controlled countries. Those poor countries that did not have access to the vaccines but where HCQ and Ivermectin were available over the counter and in prevalent use had no problem at all with Covid. You are literally killing people with your vaccine propaganda. The 'Plandemic' was already over before the first vaccine was administered.

@BDair Rubbish!

Perhaps you can explain why Ireland has not stopped Covid after vaccinating 80% of the population.
But poor Nambia which vaccinated 20% of its population ended the pandemic in 2021.

@BDair Namibia, like most countries in Africa hasn’t got as reliable or accurate a system of recording cases and collating data as we have in the more developed parts of the world. Vaccination doesn’t eradicate a virus…it slows transmission. and lessens the likelihood of serious illness and death in a population. It’s not remotely likely that Covid has stopped being transmitted in Namibia, whether or not they declared it to be over in 2021…viruses don’t recognise national borders, if people are travelling freely in and out of a country a virus travels with them. I’m actually tired of repeating myself to you about how vaccines and immunisation works. You are obsessed by this subject, I have other things in my life and Covid and vaccination are not a dominant feature, having now passed through the most dangerous period of contagion early in the pandemic, when there was no vaccine and transmission was rampant. Now that a large percentage of our population is vaccinated and transmission is slower and less likely to require hospitalisation…I’m fairly relaxed about mixing and acting in a normal manner in social settings.

You just regurgitate whatever the Ministry of Truth tells you to believe.

@BDair I know what’s real and what isn’t unlike you with your obsession and belief in conspiracy theories! It’s actually laughable …you’ve made me smile at the way you’ve turned truth on it’s head!

@BDair News Flash, there is no such entity as (any) Ministry of Truth.

@BDair I lost my older son to COVID, before the vaccine was available. I find your posts both horrifying and insulting. I do wish you would crawl back under your bridge and stay there. No one believes your horse crap. You're like a gnat that won't go away...just annoying, with no purpose.

@Organist1 I am sorry for your loss. I do not know the circumstances of your son's passing, so I can not comment. But there is no evidence that the 'vaccines' have prevented any mortality. They never prevented infection or transmission. Many parents have lost their children to vaccine injuries. I do not intend to be insensitive, but I am not posting BS. Everything I post is backed by data and medical literature. Watch the video segment above in which a man with serious credentials and a 50 plus year medical career offers some informative commentary. Below is recent data from VAERS.

@BDair BS BTW, I have a degree in research psychology. I can tell good research from bad. Don't waste your propaganda on me.

@Organist1 I’m really sorry to hear…that’s so very sad for you. I know how irritated I feel when I read his nonsense on how vaccines kill more people than the virus…so I can only guess how really outraged it must make you feel.

@BDair oh just put a sock in it… your BS is not just insulting to our intelligence but it’s downright factually wrong and it’s dangerous to keep insisting that it’s true! Btw …Your sensitivity level is nil…on a par with the voracity of your information.

I'll await your informed analysis of this research paper.

A word to the unwise.

@Organist1 You are welcome to tell the author of the data in the OP why he is wrong.

@BDair Like you you mean!

@Marionville Thank you. If only the vaccine had been available, I know my son would have taken it. He was Type 1 diabetic, and was very careful to get all his vaccines. I'm quite sure the COVID vaccine would have saved his life.

@Organist1 You’re in my thoughts…I lost my own son at the beginning of 2019..though not to Covid, he took his own life aged 42. But a mother losing a much loved son is the same regardless of how it happens. In your case though, as you say had the vaccine been available earlier in the pandemic it would probably have prevented his untimely death.🤗

@Marionville I'm so very sorry to hear about your son. Suicide is such a shock for loved ones. I hope you find peace, and know there is nothing you could have done. My family has been rocked by suicides -grandfather, uncle, cousin. Depression is an illness which should be addressed much more aggressively. I watch my remaining son carefully, because he has depression too. You're in my thoughts.
