  1. Speaking of grifters ... Jimmy has a new video out, downplaying the risks of covid, called "Are COVID death rates WILDLY inflated?". I could only make it through a few minutes of his stupidity, or dishonesty ... It's very clear that the 3.4% "death rate" is the case fatality rate ... deaths per confirmed case. This number is always changing, and can be found all over the place. Only someone who is completely inept, wouldn't be able to find the current case fatality rate. But, somehow Jimmy couldn't. Only someone who failed grade school math couldn't figure it out themselves. 750k deaths is 1.5% of 50m confirmed cases. But, somehow Jimmy couldn't. He apparently didn't actually read the Gallup article, he's referencing, or skipped the parts he didn't like. The hospitalization rates he's citing are based on the total vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, not just those who contract covid. This isn't comparable to the case fatality rate. It's based on totally different math. The comparable "death rate" would be the population mortality rate. 750k deaths is 0.23% of 330m total population. So, now he's making out like covid is a lot less harmful than doctors and scientists, worldwide, have stated, and there's some giant worldwide conspiracy to inflate numbers.
