When medical historians look back on the Covid-19 pandemic, years after the pain, suffering, and death of this disease have faded from immediate emotions, I think what will stand out for them above all else is the grotesque financials of this pandemic.
It began with a Washington state resident returning from Wuhan, China on January 15, 2020, the first person in the United States diagnosed with a confirmed case of the 2019 novel coronavirus.1 In 2021, one in 500 Americans had died because of Covid, in all its variants. The death rate is staggering. By March the 4th 2022, 103 million Americans, about a third of the population, had contracted Covid, and 1.13 millions had died. How did we get to these appalling statistics? The answer is one man, Donald Trump, and one party, the Republican Party. Is that a partisan political statement, or merely a statement of fact supported by multiple non-political surveys by recognized research organizations? It is, in fact, the latter.

No wonder that the survival of the mind after death is ignored and even suppressed. Death fear is profitable for the pharmaceutical industry.

When are Americans going to wake up that the vote is the most powerful weapon they have and must get rid of Congress people who support a for-profit health care system?!

A lot of the deaths were those with pre-exisiting conditions who may have died from a severe case of the seaonal flu. As well, at first most of the health providers did not understand what they were dealing with, so did not/could not properly treat COVID. A lot has changed since then and even WHO has walked back some of their recommendations…..hopefully better treatments are around the corner.
Yes, that’s all true. But if you adopted a healthy lifestyle, you wouldn’t be dependent on drugs, etc. People absolutely refuse to eat healthy food, for instance. It’s a matter of principle with them. I’ve tried to suggest just a few easy diet changes to people and they are absolutely furious and refuse even the most simple suggestions. The Type 2 diabetes scam really frustrates me. Almost everyone with Type 2 should not be “managing” it, they should be getting rid of it entirely. (Hint: it is not caused by eating sugar; fat is the culprit.)
