No one in the US has died from Omicron. People have died who also had Omicron.

Much like the article states just because you die with Omicron does mean you died of Omicron.

@bi4smooth
You have Trump derangement syndrome.

@bi4smooth said in Gen. US Grant's prediction ca. 1875...:

You certainly are a "throw the baby out with the bath water" kind of person, aren't you?

No but I know when to quit and start over. I am not the kind of person who keeps doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different out come.

I have to wonder - within the constraints of Grant's admonition, are you a "patriot with intelligence" or "superstitious, ambitious, and/or ignorant"?
I'll leave the "gentle reader" to decide...

You have been around Liberals to long, When you have no response you stoop to personal attacks.

@bi4smooth

Do you always assume people who don't agree with your reality are less then you? You seem to talk down to people who don't share your interpretation of the "Raw" data.

Do you assume people who don't agree with you are less educated then you claim to be?

I have not needed to share my education background nor my profession to justify my opinion. You are like the person who wears a mask only to signal to others that they are above those who don't.

@eobox91103
Omicron is like have a winter cold nothing more.

@bi4smooth

It's not being paranoid I am a realist. Their has been to many benign discoveries that the federal government have twisted into something horrible.

Examples:

The Patriot Act used to spy on American citizens, you do remember Carter Paige or maybe the over reach of the NSA as exposed by Wikileaks.

You can go back even further and turning the discovery of nuclear fission into the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

@bi4smooth You again missed the point of the article.

Let me explain it to you. There are more people because of the pandemic. TRUE! but only about half of the reported Covid admissions is because of Covid.

Their must be a reason behind the over claiming by the hospitals. I think it has to do with the amount of financial assistance they are receiving from the federal government but that is my under educated position.

@bi4smooth said in Russia rejects European Court of Human Rights order to recognise same-sex unions:

Also, if by "elitist" you mean "educated" and with a reasonable vocabulary, then I'm guilty - 2 Masters, 4 specializations, on faculty (adjunct, but still faculty) at 3 different Universities... yes, I'm educated.

That explains why you think the way you do? You have spent too many years in the Liberal education establishment. You might think you are a Republican but you are only a republican within a Liberal bubble.

@bi4smooth said in US science teacher arrested for vaccinating 17-year-old student:

otal hogwash - not being AS EFFECTIVE against Delta, and now Omicron is a far cry from being ineffective at all.

The effectiveness of the Vaccine which was based on the original variant has become less and less effective against each new variant. Most of the population will catch Omicron or the next weaker variants to come.

Completely false - no study has shown that any one, much less all, of the authorized (1 of which is fully approved) vaccines pose any significant risk or danger... none!

Check your facts first please and stop lying about the FDA approval of the US vaccine.

Myocarditis and the COVID-19 Vaccines

Since April 2021, some people have developed myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna coronavirus vaccines in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The problem occurs more often in adolescents (teens) and young adults, and in males.

Conflating death counts with vaccine effectiveness is like confusing weather with climate...
The death counts are rising because the new Omicron variant is far more virulent than its predecessors! That's a characteristic of the new variant, not the validity of the vaccine!

Deaths from Covid-19 is an interesting topic. Since whenever you go to the hospital for anything they test you for Covid and if you have it but not died because of Covid it is still listed as a Covid death. The reason for this is purely a financially one for the hospital. Medicare pays the hospital for expenses to treat Covid patients.

What you should look at instead is the rate of deaths among those who are infected! This RATE is far lower than it was in the early days of the pandemic. That is because the vaccines ARE doing (still doing) what they are designed to do (what ALL vaccines are designed to do): reduce the severity of infections.

That is a fair assumption.. It also has a lot to do with protecting the higher risk individuals. The obese and elderly who are still the greatest number of people dying vaccinated or not.

So, rather than people dying, they're getting cold-like symptoms and getting better (yay vaccine!)... of course, the un-vaccinated are getting sick and going to the hospital... where many of them are dying, but even the unvaccinated aren't dying at the rates previously in this pandemic - because Omicron (which is now prevalent almost everywhere) is far more contagious, but also far less deadly....

Now that is way off base. More people have died in the year we had vaccines then in the year we didn't. The number don't lie according to the CDC in the last 30 days only 1.4% of the Covid positives have died. If you are unvaccinated and young and healthy and you test positive you have a 99.99% chance of just having mild flu-like symptoms. The Vaccine should only be used by high risk persons not the general public and especially not children.

It's like the flu shot you can get it if you want it but it doesn't mean if you don't you will die and or kill someone else.

(Those will be in the COVID-25 booster liquid-gels that the Nazi secret-police will force down your throats!)

If you don't think it is a possibility then I feel for you.

@bi4smooth said in In dismissing libel suit, judge accepts FOX argument: Tucker Carlson exaggerates & bloviates - devoid of any expectation of fact:

Tucker Carlson is a bloviating, exaggerating, hyperbolic caricature of a journalist... but he is, nevertheless, a primary source of "fact" for many of the Trumpites you see here and elsewhere...

That is your opinion not a "fact". Trumpites again is not a word and what does Trump have to do with Tucker Carlson?

Carlson is not even a supporter of Trump. Carlson sometimes go a bit far but most of what he says ends up being truth unlike the MSM that will lie about anything that supports their brief.

Maybe if you watched his show instead of reading the MSM cliff notes you would expand your knowledge a bit.

I can therefore... legally... claim and infer that they are not "reasonable" people!

Are we back to the Hillary Clinton Deplorables comment? Attorneys try every angle to get their client's point across. I think the Judge dismissed the case based on the merits not by any single statement of the attorney.

@bi4smooth
I believe that he was referring to any outside influence that would keep citizens from learning about the basics without a bias one way or the other.

Our school system has progressed to the point that it's what his warning was. I fear the only way it's going to be fixed is a revolution. Let the state money follow the student and bankrupt all these public, union controlled districts.

@bi4smooth said in Fla Gov diverts State funds to promote SENIORS FIRST agenda:

He lets his Trumpist politics interfere too much for my tastes, but he's a damned site better than any Democrat alternative I've seen (EVER!) LOL

When Republicans have a policy you don't approve of you call it Trumpist (Which by the way is not a word). What does Donald Trump have to do with not allowing government of private enterprise to MANDATE anything.

@eobox91103 said in “Pfizer CEO: New Pill Will Have a Microchip That Transmits Info Once You Swallow It!”:

Let's see: The Food and Drug Administration is part of the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, which reports to the president of the US. Who was that in 2017? Must have been a nasty liberal socialist communist.

The FDA is an independent agency or so that is what the current nasty liberal socialist communist tell us. LOL

@arago44 Maybe this will help

@raphjd
It is only about women because they are the weaker sex and need to be protected (a sexist would say) or maybe it's the Liberals adding to their litany of is-ims. The MSM thinks they can put out a sexist story that plays on peoples emotions but it's OK because they are in the RIGHT. If Joy Reid with her raciest rants are ok then what's wrong with a bit of sexism

@raphjd
All vaccines regardless of what they treat are shielded from liability.

Vaccines are only tested to figure out a dose that does something and doesn't kill. After that it is trial and error until they find the best formula. Oh in case you didn't know trial and error is done on the general population.

@raphjd
So the tech was approved in 2017 by the FDA. I wonder if and how it's been used.

@raphjd
Isn't that how it happened? it's in a book about ancient Egypt so it must be true
