Boiled down, this video states (by standard cost/benefit analysis) that COVID-19 lockdowns have a 35x greater cost in human lives than doing nothing at all. Politicians like lockdowns because they think they look like heroes (when they can claim fewer deaths due to COVID-19), but in reality, they are causing far more deaths overall (and that isn't even looking at the economic destruction caused by these measures).

There is a self-advertisement in the middle of the video (3:07 - 3:36) that is easily skipped by just scrolling through it.

Everyone with a brain knew this going in. Authoritarians like anything that grows their authority, everyone else be damned. The response of various state governors in the USA is a great experiment, all that one needs to do is observe.

Boiled down, this video shows that vaccinations are doing very little to prevent infection (or re-infection) with the Omicron BA4 or BA 5 variants. While authorities are still postulating that vaccination might prevent more serious infections, no evidence is given for this. It also shows that the BA 4 and BA 5 variants are more likely to cause lower lung infections than the last few variants.

It is amazing how many people seem to have checked their brains at the door and are just blindly following what their leaders are telling them. This is not just true in the US, but all over the world.

What your chart shows is that there is an extremely low chance of dying from COVID-19, whether you are unvaccinated, vaccinated or boosted. Of course, that is only if you actually believe anything the CDC puts out. Since they are basically controlled by big pharma, I don't automatically believe much of what they say. In statistics, there is an old saying that states that 97% of all statistics have no basis in fact.

Of course, what your charts DON'T show is that the vaccinations are just about totally ineffective against the Omicron 4 and 5 variants of SARS-COV2 virus, so any stats (even if they were based on real data) that include deaths from the first three variants of the virus, are completely useless in the world we presently live in.

March 2022. Data is from March. Apparently the vaccines are NOT actually ineffective against whatever was in play 3 months ago. 

Right?

Is that how you read it? I read it as this is the weekly death rate as of March 2022. Whether that number is a cumulative average (for the whole time COVID-19 has been with us) or only using current data is not clear. In any case, March 2022 was BEFORE the Omicron 4 and 5 variants were widespread, so no, NOT necessarily right.

Says 'in' March, not as of March.

Wave hands all you like, facts are facts. Not my facts, or your facts, just facts.

Blah, blah, blah….

Funny that in the past 2 years you didn't hear about anyone dying from the flu, pneumonia, cold, or any other upper respiratory infection.

That’s what happens when you pay someone big bucks to call it something else.

More info that is worth looking at...

More "state of the virus" information...

Even Dr. Campbell is starting to wish that governments would start to figure out that what they have been doing isn't working.
