    I’m simply stating that my original “hundreds of millions fine” was fact while you said “simply not true”. I have no idea how many of the 4.46 billion have had issues. A very small %. How many have died from the vaccine? Per the CDC which you probably don’t believe, 1509 deaths out of 164,000,000 US vaccines. 1509/164000000. Carry on.

    No, sorry. That number isn’t even close to reality.

    Why do they only report cases instead of deaths now?

    VAERS is the equivalent of product reviews on Amazon. Very low signal/noise ratio.

    It is, actually, the job of the CDC and other health agencies to assess the risks for other people. You can ignore their assessment - but it's there, and it's surely better justified than your own.

    ?

    Deaths are still being reported. Who is 'they' in your question?

    The media. You know, the people who report things.

    I actually find product reviews to be a very effective tool in determining the quality of a product. Why are the experiences of others not a good metric in your eyes?

    Not sure why you think the media is no longer reporting covid deaths.

    They are clearly signaling toward cases as a way to be more sensational, larger numbers to play with. You rarely hear deaths reported audibly, or even in a headline. Small numbers, not exciting enough. At the end of the day most of the media are still sensationalist sellouts.

    Or could it be because deaths follow cases, and cases are rising sharply right now? Deaths will come along soon enough.
    If they were wanting to be sensationalist, any one death is far more sensational than any number of cases.

    Deaths are way down and not likely to return to levels anywhere near the height of the pandemic. The (lack of) logic you just put into play is exactly what’s being used to sensationalize the case numbers. “Deaths on the way guys, just wait for it”

    That's kind of a silly post. Of course deaths follow infection, not the reverse.

    Maybe no one will ever die of covid again. Hospitals have gotten better at treating it. But the rapidly increasing number of cases means more people are at risk of dying.

    Yeah you're right. I was sure I had read that like 3 days in a row last week. Maybe it was 10k I was thinking of.
