I’m only briefly near WiFi. Today is (mostly) a day of being off grid. However, there’s much I’d like to discuss. If I wrote it out, I’d wind up typing for hours. Fuck that… it’s sunny out. So instead I’m going to link to images and limit myself to “captions”. I encourage you to follow the links to get the whole story.
I want to make one small point… all three sets of images are information with huge, massive, large, import. None of these are “beating around the bush” or “could be a rounding error”. They’re real and they’re spectacular.
Lets start with good news, COVID is really bad at killing people. This image is from Two utterly fascinating facts about COVID:
This is infection fatality rate. Meaning you don’t even have to roll the dice until after you get COVID.
I figure people suck at math and they’ve been marinating in fear for over a year now. I made a chart from the above data. If you’re 50 and if you get COVID this is what happens:
Yeah, it sucks to get sick and die… but just look at the goddamn chart. The whole friggin world has spent a year and a half going apeshit over that tiny red sliver. COVID is not the Black Death. If you’ve ever walked across a street, ridden a bicycle, or eaten a Big Mac you’ve survived risk like that.
My next image is from Vox Popoli’s Pandemic of the Vaccinated. Before you look at the chart, lets review. If a population of people do something that has nothing to do with COVID, such as sticking a banana in their ass, their portion of cases should be exactly the same as the population as a whole. If 20% of the population shoves a banana in their ass, 20% of COVID cases should be banana people.
People with the vaccine should have less COVID than people without. By a lot. I can’t believe I even have to say that. That’s the whole point.
Look at that chart. Look at it!
In Israel, the vaccine is literally worse than doing nothing. It’s not harmless like a banana in your ass. It’s worse! We have governments forcing people to do something that’s worse than just sitting on your couch doing nothing!
There’s absolutely no reason a vaccine should be worse than a fuckin banana!
The next image is also from Vox Popoli: Fake Votes, Fake President: Again, lets talk about the math. The blue column is Biden’s margin of victory in Arizona. The red columns are serious vote discrepancies in one county. No matter how you slice it, the blue column isn’t even close. The red columns are huge. They overpower every tiny hint that the blue column matters.
One can argue about a vote here and a vote there… but this is over a quarter million votes. This isn’t close. This isn’t “I can see both sides”. This isn’t “photo finish”. This isn’t “I need to further consider the situation”. This is huge, obvious, and undeniable.
These aren’t close calls.
It’s one thing to argue about half a percent of a fraction of a vote in one county on a Tuesday. But a quarter million in one county verses a ten thousand margin isn’t anywhere near close. It’s a statically obvious situation that even your goldfish should understand. It’s nuts that we have to even discuss it.
Same with COVID. If something is profoundly dangerous you’ll fuckin’ know. You don’t need to be told to stay out of the wrong neighborhood or to avoid stuffing a rattlesnake in your pants. You know! A year of global disruption and a tiny sliver on a pie chart don’t go together.
Same with the vaccine. A worthwhile vaccine is obvious. Nobody doubts Jonas Salk’s vaccine. He nuked Polio from orbit. Meanwhile, Israel is coming up with worse than nothing on a nationwide mandatory deployment of an experimental blah blah blah. A COVID vaccine should never be worse than nothing. Worse than nothing shouldn’t even be within the range of possibilities for any medical procedure and especially for one that addresses a tiny little red silver on a pie chart.
