Behind 1. heart disease and 2. cancer.

I feel like if our government really cared about American lives they would be treating heart disease and cancer as if they were the pandemics they apparently are.

Or was this “pandemic” all about exerting control?

Columnists on NPR today were discussing how masks and social distancing should remain the norm in any modern society.

Will you resist with me?

Anyone who is cool with permanent masking and social distancing is cool to stay socially distant from me

How contagious are heart disease and cancer?

It’s not contagious but the societal pervasiveness that should concern our collective.

In actuality, it was nowhere near the 3rd leading cause of death.

True. And how many would have died in US if no preventative measures were taken. I’m not a big fan of masks and the abundance of caution stuff but COVID isn’t the insignificant thing some people want to believe it is.

So basically, being a fatass is the #1 cause of death.

Less.
More healthy ppl would have gotten it.
Infections would have been more represented in healthy groups.
Less in older groups.

Case in point florida vs california.

Florida is fatter
More densely populated.
Has like 20% more in over 60 demographic vs california.
Over 60 is like 90% deaths.

Yet, Florida has just 4% more deaths.

it was further down the list than that. Hospitals were getting paid extra for Covid deaths. You ever wonder why there is no more flu?

And that is on top of the ridiculous classifications when money wasn't involved. Only about 6% of reported deaths are truly Covid deaths. And that is not even accounting for the corrupt money grab by hospitals.

OH, and I went to the liquor store about 30 minutes ago and didn't wear a mask. And I wasn't the only one. They now have a sign that recommends that you wear it and have taken down the County's terrorist threats to control.

I'm done with the shite. Tomorrow I am going to Kroger and Walmart Market without a mask. They still recommend a mask but if customers refuse that is the end of it. They will not try to force people to wear masks and will not turn customers away

Anybody who believes that the Chinese Flu actually killed close to 500K is a spit-dribbling idiot.

How impressive. Please let our leaders know what you have figured out now!

The fact that during this whole shitshow our government agencies involved with health have never made an effort to stress to the public how important it is, particularly in regards to Covid, to get in better health. We get continously lectured about masks and social distancing, but not a damn word is ever said about putting down the 1 liter coke and trying to eat something green occasionally.
