Lifetime mortality - by definition - is 100%. How, why, and when do matter though.

Yeah but that's for LIFETIME. Not for every trip to the grocery store.

With covid most people will get it within a couple years... that's a lot of risk in that period.

But consider the outlook of the general public... 99%, or even 99.9% survival for a DISCRETE EVENT is not that great. Have to assume that EVERYBODY will get covid, and sooner not later (omicron severity may be lower).

Would you be good with a 99% chance of not having a fatal crash on every leg you fly? Would you operate that leg, or call out fatigued? How about going for a motorcycle ride? Even the isle of Man TT isn't that dangerous.

How about 99.9%?

Neither 99% or 99.9% are great odds for something that everyone pretty much will get. Different people calculate their own odds differently, being fit, healthy, and not very old I wasn't worried... but a lot of the population (majority I'm sure) are not very fit AND healthy AND young.

I have friends who flew space shuttles, similar fatality rate... great gig but their pucker factor was waaaaay up there on game day.

I am not sure you can compare these things??? Who the hell could calculate the likelihood of a successful flight? I am very confident in my abilities as a pilot and I am a healthy middle aged man. When I get the data from Pfizer in 2075 I will make my final decision on taking this vaccine. Until then I will take my chances with the body God gave me. There seem to be alternatives to big Pharma's narrative and I will go with those. Many of us choose this for their situation and that is their choice. 99.9 % as a discreet event is not that great???? If that is how you approach this then keep on boosting my friend. I choose to live my life as free man and not in perpetual fear of dying.

What would the vaxx rate be if people had to pay, out of their own pocket, for these shots??? I surmise that it would be much, much lower.

Not true in Florida.

Because they decided to ignore federal guidelines.

Thank God for that ( based on your posts, which j like mostly, I'm goin out on a limb and reading that statement as not a slam on Florida )

How's Vermont doing again??


New York?

Massachusetts?



We lead nation in treatment. People coming here all the time to get access.


Miami mayor just caught in a lie too. He said majority of those going to the clinics were unvaccinated. Oops. Not so fast. They were actually jabbed.


IVM works, it has everywhere it's used. It just doesn't make $$$$


So they came up with Pfizer mectin. Same stuff, it really is just 15x more $$$$


Thus why we call it the scamdemic

Hey Dr. Drum…can you explain to the class how Ivermectin (antiparasitic, more specifically an antinematode) and Paxlovid (protease inhibitor) are the same thing? They’re a completely different class of pharmaceutical with a completely different mechanism of action.

Of course you won’t be able to explain it. Instead you will tell me that ‘the information is readily available’ and that I should look it up myself. Then you will deflect to some other unrelated subject.

It just came out and was approved under EUA from what I have read. Is it safe? No one knows. I will go with the horse paste for now. Next time any of you go to Brazil you can pick it up down there over the counter for roughly a dollar a pill.
