    Discredited journalist Berenson is known for promoting covid misinformation.  China hasn't approved any foreign vaccines probably  for political reasons to protect its own vaccine industry.  To allow superior vaccines from outside would undermine public confidence in Chinese vaccines.  Besides, China's problems in developing its own mRNA vaccine delay approval for foreign vaccines. 

    Any claim that vaccination violates Nuremberg code is false.  Vaccines are mostly consensual and not experimental.  They have passed all required clinical requirements before approval by countries.  Billions of doses administered worldwide further prove vaccines are safe and effective.

    Japan is a country with 37% the population of the US but only 2% the number of COVID deaths. Why has Japan done so much better than the US? One big reason is that there is no mask controversy. Everyone wears them.

    It should also be mentioned that Japan's population tends to be dense, which you'd think would facilitate spread of the virus.

    Here you go...

    Only 3.6 percent of Japanese have a body mass index (BMI) over 30, which is the international standard for obesity, whereas 32.0 percent of Americans do. A total of 66.5 percent of Americans have a BMI over 25, making them overweight, but only 24.7 percent of Japanese.

     

    Oh wait, it's because they wear masks. Duh.

     

    Japan had the lowest prevalence of obesity. ... The average person in Japan is thought to consume approximately 200 fewer calories than an average American person daily, which is thought to be due to higher food prices and traditional dietary habits in Japan, which are often healthier.

    Maybe that's why we're experiencing inflation. So people eat better.

    Adults with excess weight are at even greater risk during the COVID-19 pandemic:

    • Having obesity increases the risk of severe illness from COVID-19. People who are overweight may also be at increased risk.
    • Having obesity may triple the risk of hospitalization due to a COVID-19 infection.
    • Obesity is linked to impaired immune function.
    • Obesity decreases lung capacity and reserve and can make ventilation more difficult.
    • A study of COVID-19 cases suggests that risks of hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, and death are higher with increasing BMI.
      • The increased risk for hospitalization or death was particularly pronounced in those under age 65.
    • More than 900,000 adult COVID-19 hospitalizations occurred in the United States between the beginning of the pandemic and November 18, 2020. Models estimate that 271,800 (30.2%) of these hospitalizations were attributed to obesity.

     

     

    I think their "models" are severely undercutting the % and I'd guess it's over 60%.  Don't think so, go ask someone who works in the hospital.

     

    I made the letters bigger since kelly can't read smaller letters.

    The proportion of US children who are overweight or obese, which has climbed steadily for years, surged to unprecedented levels during the pandemic, according to new figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).1

    Among a cohort of 432?302 people aged 2-19 years, the rate of body mass index (BMI) increase roughly doubled during the pandemic compared with the period preceding it. The greatest increases were seen in children aged 6-11 and in those already overweight before the pandemic.

    The national weight gain will surprise few paediatricians, who have been warning since the pandemic began of the likely effects of reduced physical activity and increased screen time. But the rate of change is striking. The monthly rate of BMI increase nearly doubled, to 1.93 times its pre-pandemic rate. The proportion of US children who are obese was rising by 0.07% a month before the pandemic, but by 0.37% a month—five times faster—after the virus appeared.

    An estimated 22% of US children and teens were obese last August, up from 19% a year earlier. The data shows a “profound increase in weight gain for kids” that is “substantial and alarming,” Alyson Goodman, one of the study’s authors, told the Associated Press.

    A CDC study in March found that in adults under 65 those with severe obesity (BMI =45 kg/m2) have died from covid-19 at twice the rate of people with a normal BMI.3

     

    The US is the world’s most overweight large country, with an average BMI of 26.6 in men and 26.5 in women. Its proportion of obese citizens is exceeded only by 10 small Pacific states and by Kuwait.

    This is what happens when you lock the country down to "slow the curve" Guess what, it's spreading with or without a shut down. Shutting down the country by the democrats might have been the biggest mistake during all of covid and might severely set the country and world back. All. In. The. Name. Of. Control.

    same can b said of hong kong , taiwan , south korea   even china  all in very close proximity to wuhan

    and those r just a few of the countries whodo this routinely

    then there r those who followed the guidelines with overwhelming public compliance and they also fared way better than the countries that didnt have the same high level of public compliance

    Ethiopia has a vaccination rate of 1.4%, a population just short of Japan's and has 40% of the deaths Japan has. Gotta be really good masks in Eithiopia. an_roll_laugh

    We can on and with this kind of pissing match. 

    From the data I collected believe mask mandates were and are a failure. You wanna keep wearing em, go for it, not me.

    Billionaire wealth has risen more since Covid began than it has in the last 14 years per Robert Reich.

    Not surprised at all. Some have always prospered during difficult times.

    Don't forget to make your eyes, teeth etc. appointments. Especially, the favorite of all men, your colonoscopy. 

    Our minds may be on other things but put this on your To Do lists'.

    “Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that wearing cloth masks in schools reduces the spread of COVID.

    But there is ample evidence that it is harmful: to early readers, to young learners, to deaf and hard of hearing students, and many others.”

Worldwide, scientific consensus accepts  mask wearing in reducing the risk of infection. During the pandemic, evidences supporting masks have only become stronger.  Similar to seat belts, masks don't have to be perfect to work.  Remarkably, Japan covid death rate is so low despite having the oldest population in the world.

    Evidence

    From September 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022, data taken from World-o-meter;

    Covid cases for mask mandated states in place since August,  New York, California, Illinois, Washington, and Oregon............9,105,170 cases.

    Covid cases for ALL of the United States same time period..............36,248,358

    9,105,170/36,248,358 * 100 = 25.1% of cases in mandated states.

    Population of mentioned mandated states......83,470,235

    Population of entire United States......334,135,930

    83,470,235/334,135,930 * 100 = 24.98% of population.

    MASK MANDATED STATES HAD HIGHER COVID CASES PER CAPITA THAN REST OF THE COUNTRY.
