    Don’t know how many lightening deaths Covid caused, but I do remember that, as of Fall 2020, the CDC attributed roughly 25 hanging deaths to Covid.

    They are not irrelevant. Panic and despair are deadly.

    I’ll never be able to prove it this side of the grave, but I suspect you were consigned to purgatory if you didn’t die of Rock Star Virus …

    I posted the video in this thread September of 2023. Dr. Joseph Fraiman who the covidians do no like but is an ER doctor looking for the evidence…stated he had not admitted on person to the hospital since Feb 2022. As he said. Omicron (alpha and delta were different) was not the threat the propaganda pushers (those are my words not his “propaganda pushers”) peddled. Trying to instill fear instead of follow basic medicine. In that time his peers had similar experiences with only a handful of them actually admitting someone “for” covid.

    In Mar/Apr 2020 most hospitals were strangely quiet, add-on facilities unused and the hospital ship brought in to handle the overflow pulled up anchor and left early.

    Last summer my wife and I experience a hacking cough simultaneously. After I changed out a fairly dusty a/c filter our coughs quickly resolved.

    I’ll never know if I caught dusty a/c filter from my wife or she caught it from me.

    I submit that the Baghdad Bob meme should best be deployed to distract from vaccine harms.

    Covid is still very dangerous to people with comorbidities such as respiratory disease, diabetes and the immunocompromised.

    5 years and 2340 pages later I don't think there's anything to say that hasn't been said before

    Except to continue to discuss abominable crimes against humanity and historic mass-derangement.

    I can probably scrounge up another item or two.

    Oh, here’s one …

    At peak hysteria a neighbor died in her home of a heart attack.

    I spoke to her daughter who despaired of finding any funeral home that would memorialize her mom.

    The daughter died about a year later and I have little doubt that her anguish played a role.

    Wonder if Covid was listed as cause of death.
