Here’s the true cost of getting your health information from Tucker Carlson
Note
that the number of new cases last week, 430,000, is more than double what it
was just two weeks previous to that, and close to 200,000 more than the
previous week. So coronavirus cases are definitely turning up again (of course,
with the much greater use of home testing, these numbers are very low compared
to what they would have been a year ago, although hopefully the week-to-week
comparisons are still usable).
Average
daily deaths haven’t turned up, but for the last three weeks the number has
been almost exactly the same: about 476. It remains to be seen whether they’ll
start climbing again. It’s disappointing that we can’t seem to get lower than that
number, since we were at less than 300 a day last July.
Philip
Bump, an excellent center-right columnist with WaPo, published a good column
last week, which showed that about a quarter of total US pandemic deaths (i.e. over
250,000) were probably preventable by vaccination. And since vaccines only
became widely available last June, the real percentage of preventable deaths is
an astounding 61%.
But
Bump goes one step further: Last November, Republicans were estimated to be
three times more likely to be unvaccinated than Democrats. So that means ¾ of
the preventable deaths were among Republicans – which isn’t far from 200,000. I
certainly hope the families of all of those people are happy that they didn’t
cave in to the left wing press and get vaccinated. After all, as the Texas
lieutenant governor said in 2020, some things are more important than life.
Owning the libs is one of them.
Another
figure: Vietnam which was very late to get vaccinations, now is over 90%
vaccinated, whereas the US is a little over 70%. At least the Vietnamese know
what’s good for them!
