Bingo. I can't remember a single time that I've heard a real push by any public health official.

I, for one, have tried to do my part, but it's an uphill battle. A good number of parents were scared $#!+less by negligent reporting and wouldn't even let their kids go outside or play sports. Of course, when you are stuck in your house, you sit at the TV and eat crap all day. It has taken a ton of work and honest explanation of the data/risk to break through some of these barriers.

Doctors can do their best to tell people to eat healthy and get basic exercise, but it's just not politically correct to say that outside of the doctor's office. Being obese is celebrated as "being proud of who you are" in American culture today.

You fighting an uphill battle is putting it lightly.

Aside from perhaps employers and health insurance carriers, there's not any financial advantage to get people healthy. Think of all the massive corporations that thrive off of gluttony, sloth, and the use/abuse of tobacco and alcohol. Fast food/restaurants in general, hospitals/healthcare, TV and internet advertising, cigarette manufacturers, beer/distributors, . . . Lots of companies with BIG BIG bucks in that list. Their profits are surely exponentially larger than those seen by fitness clubs, bariatric surgery, and weight loss clinics.

I would say governments don’t understand statistics but I know they do. They just prefer to ignore them in pursuit of their power grabs. The same authoritarians which instruct you to mask and vax your children, would also run commercials on the radio to buy lottery tickets.

In case anyone is still in doubt that the government is trying to kill people: Just learned that Covenant has no more monoclonal antibody and is not being told why they are not receiving more. If patients come in sick, they start the ordering process through an infusion center in Knoxville, which only opens on M, W, F. The hospital then tells patients there is nothing else they can do and sends them home.

Remember, we are 21 months into this, and this is a monumental failure that falls squarely on the Biden administration.

This is insane.

I will say they seem way behind on approval of the Covid pill. UK approved over a month ago.

My contention is that nearly all the people that I still see dying from this are unvaccinated. So if you’re actually waiting for a more definitive answer to walk up and slap you in the face, there isn’t going to be one. At some point it’s purely natural selection.

But what is their overall health status? It’s not as simple as unvaccinated…good chance you die. If that’s the case we would’ve had a KNOWN case fatality rate far greater than 1.5% in 2020 prior to any vaccines. I’ve seen plenty of vaccinated people have cases more troublesome than unvaccinated people like myself; simply due to their health status Covid or not.

I'm getting my info from worldometers.info

In June Brazil peaked at 115,000 daily cases. Are you really trying to argue that 3,355 is greater then 115,000. Geesh man, give it a break already
