What Is The Real Cost Of Owning The Libs?

Anti-Vaxxers and Trump Cultists are literally willing to sacrifice their young for the cause. And they have.

The United States had the second-steepest decline in life expectancy among high-income countries last year during the pandemic, according to a study of death data spanning several continents.

The only country studied that saw a starker overall trend was Russia.

The study, published Wednesday in The BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal), assessed premature death in 37 countries, comparing observed life expectancy in 2020 with what would have been expected for the year based on historical trends from 2005-2019. Life expectancy dropped in 31 of these countries during the pandemic.

The U.S. trend was among the worst.

U.S. men saw life expectancy fall by nearly 2.3 years, from about 76.7 to 74.4. Women lost more than 1.6 years of life expectancy, from about 81.8 to 80.2.

The measurements provide one of the most comprehensive views of the human cost of the pandemic and illuminates its effects on different age groups and genders. One surprise: The drop in life expectancy in the U.S. was driven by the deaths of young people, said Dr. Nazrul Islam, a researcher at the University of Oxford and the study’s lead author.

Thb I'd rather die from covid than die from an untested vax forced on me that MIGHT keep me alive or might kill me.Covid might kill me vax might kill or maim me where's the benefit? Hey get the vax win a new truck are you kidding me ?! You are aware that 90% of vaxed believe the pandemic is over as soon as they get that shot right? No social distance no washing hands no masks football stadiums filled to capacity it's over back to normal ,that's where the real danger lies.edit to add the same people that created covid are the ones trying to force this vax on the world .Hell yeah i trust em!

@kodiac

This is a religion for the left, just like global cooling, global warming & climate change. They need this in their lives.

kodiac · 22-25, M

@JimBeam Like i added the very people that created covid are the ones forcing the vax on people

SW-User

@kodiac That’s not the fault of the vaccine. That’s the fault of idiots who believe that they are essentially indestructible after being vaccinated, despite what their doctor has said.

Also, UNTESTED??? Bullshit! 😂😂😂

kodiac · 22-25, M

@SW-User Welcome to the real world.

SW-User

@kodiac yes indeed, except for the bit about untested vaccines.

TheSentinel · M

@JimBeam No, that's just the image you've created to paint those who believe differently than you in the worst possible light.

@kodiac Perhaps you will get your wish and die a happy man.

kodiac · 22-25, M

@SW-User Well most vacines are tested for years before being approved , it's fact that Fauci worked on the covid virus why oh why would you listen to or do anything he orders?

kodiac · 22-25, M

@windinhishair well you're the one that's big on stats I'm 20 years old the odds of me surviving unvaxed are way better than your odds of surviving with your vax .Nothing to say about the vaxed being superspreaders?

SW-User

@kodiac so what if he did? The vaccines were rigorously and rapidly tested as time was of the essence and money was made available to do it.

If you’d rather self-isolate for ten years while you wait for a “normal” vaccine (whatever that is) then be my guest..

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@kodiac Because thousands of epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists have examined the data and implemented vaccination programs around the world that have saved many thousands if not millions of lives. There is a reason the US is almost at the very bottom in having the greatest loss of life expectancy, and does lead in the number of deaths. Just look in the mirror.

There is no evidence that the vaccinated are superspreaders. In fact, the data shows the exact opposite.

kodiac · 22-25, M

@windinhishair Watch monday night football for your answer.

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@kodiac You can continue your ignorance of facts and data, but unfortunately, that will not protect you and others of your ilk.

SW-User

@kodiac I’ll be surprised if many of your average MNF spectators are vaccinated, particularly those in Red states.

kodiac · 22-25, M

@windinhishair What exactly is my ilk? You think you're better than me because you're a good little sheep? Every one of your responses have little digs attached but I've been respectful, but i guess that's how your ilk operate.

kodiac · 22-25, M

@SW-User Think again you got to be vaxed to get in

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@kodiac We have spoken before, and I do pay attention. You are often discourteous, and you are certainly willfully ignorant. And unfortunately, you are not alone, which is the bigger problem.

SW-User

@kodiac nevertheless, that’s people being idiots whether they are vaccinated or not.

kodiac · 22-25, M

@windinhishair Yeah we have spoken before and everytime you descend to name calling when you look like an old fool. I don't call you windinhishead for nothing.

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@kodiac You should try facts sometime. 28 NFL teams do not require vaccinations to attend their games. The other four, Buffalo, Seattle, Las Vegas, and New Orleans have various combinations of vaccination status and masks.

kodiac · 22-25, M

@windinhishair Wow you have only that in response to my reply? Here's hoping you enjoy the few years you have left unless that is you die from the vax

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@kodiac Yes, you lied about vaccinations being required to attend NFL games, and I corrected your lie. You do know these things are pretty easy to check, right? I suggest checking before you post something you are unsure about.

Think again you got to be vaxed to get in

kodiac · 22-25, M

@windinhishair My mistake a lie is intentional i didn't research well there is a difference. There you go again with the name calling

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@kodiac Would "deliberately misleading" make you feel better? It isn't like this is a one-time occurrence, even in this thread. "untested vax"--is that a lie or is that just deliberately misleading, since the information on the vaccination has been readily available to anyone for a year? "90% of vaxed believe the pandemic is over as soon as they get that shot"--is that a lie or is that also deliberately misleading, since you provided no evidence for your statement? You don't get credit for a "mistake" when you refuse to do basic research. Your statements were clearly intentional and cross the threshold for "lie".

@kodiac

Thb I'd rather die from covid than die from an untested vax forced on me that MIGHT keep me alive or might kill me.

There's one problem with what you just said. COVID might not kill you, either. And if you live through it, there's all kinds of complications you could be dealing with for literally the rest of your life.

Loss of taste could become permanent.
You could have permanent damage to your brain.
You could have chronic COPD for the rest of your life.
All because you didn't want to get a vaccination that most likely won't kill you, and almost certainly won't have damaging long-term effects that you'll have to deal with.

Not only that, but if you get COVID because you refused to get vaccinated, you're giving the virus a chance to mutate AGAIN. You're giving the virus a chance to overcome the vaccine the rest of us have taken, and becoming a threat to all of us.
