  1. Except the go to covid measures have worked great, in multiple countries. Australia's covid death rate would translate into about 26k total US covid deaths, instead of 800k. Having a bunch of morons not following guidelines, and not getting vaxxed, and then pretending like nothing has worked to slow down the spread and reduce deaths, is insanity.

  2.  @Lbdataz1469  Yeah, that's not true. 75-90% of people dying are unvaccinated. Jimmy just cited a Gallup article (before dishonestly comparing the wrong "death rate") that showed the unvaccinated were being hospitalized at 89x the rate of the vaccinated.

  3. 75-90% of people dying are unvaccinated. According to the very Gallup article Jimmy cited recently, the hospitalization rate for the unvaccinated is 89x higher than the vaccinated (then he went on to dishonestly compare those rates to a "death rate" that's based on totally different math and also a year and a half old). So, yeah, people not getting vaxxed are morons. The UK has a totally socialized healthcare system, not just socialized health insurance. Their moron of a leader also didn't take it seriously, for some time, and they also had a shit result because of it. Some other countries with single payer health insurance, also had shit responses. They, and the US, all had pathetically low trace testing rates, testing fewer than 10 people per confirmed case, for months, allowing the virus to spread. Countries with high trace testing rates (50+ people per confirmed case), and a high percentage of the population following guidelines, like S Korea, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, and some others, had excellent responses. Their covid death rates would translate into 750+k fewer deaths, in the US. Even the death rates in countries with mediocre testing rates (15+ people per confirmed case) and somewhat better following of guidelines, like Canada, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and some others, would translate into hundreds of thousands fewer deaths, in the US. So, no, simply having universal healthcare didn't save a lot of lives, and yes, the go to covid measures can save hundreds of thousands of lives, if people follow them. People fighting and arguing against them are morons. Jimmy is also a moron.

  4.  @krook5158  Oh yeah, that's brilliant, comparing developed countries, with 20+ years higher life extectancies, to countries that have life expectancies as low as 55. Definitely a bright bunch, here. What "known issues and risks", do you think there are, exactly?

  5.  @krook5158  It's not "what I think of Africa", it's a fact that the life expectancy of all of Africa is 63. "October 30, 2020 -- A new study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London found the COVID-19 infection fatality ratio is about 1.15% of infected people in high-income nations and 0.23% in low-income nations." "The disparity between high and low-income nations is due largely to facts that high-income nations tend to have larger number of elderly in their populations whereas low-income nations’ population tend to skew youngers." Looking at the death rates in low income countries, with much lower life expectancies, is stupid and isn't an honest comparison to high income countries, with much higher life extectancies. But, I get that Dore knobs like being lied to. The main cause of myocarditis is viruses, dimwit, including covid. Covid causes myocarditis at a higher rate than the vaccines. Plus, it's not a serious condition. Specifically, the J&J and AZ vaccines, you mean. The mRNA vaccines have nothing to do with blood clots. There were 3 deaths definitely confirmed to be caused by the J&J vaccine, early on, in the US. Then, they figured out who it affects most and what to watch for. There haven't been any reported since.
