Reminder: Sweden hasn't done any worse than the EU average.

Overall mortality figures confirm this: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Lockdown achieve nothing.

You know, you could have just used some numbers...

Danish study finding that Long-Term Care Facility residents temporarily had a 40% _higher_ rate of infection after the first dose, with the 95% CI ruling out any 1st dose benefit at all. Same as the UK and Israel have found.

A week after second dose, overall effectiveness in LTCF residents was just 64%

Sounds like the failure of the flu vaccine all over again...

tl;dr: Statistics Canada believes that there has been a large increase in deaths among young people due to lockdown.

The metal hang tab from some Arc'teryx underwear that I got recently. Obviously they're trying to avoid plastic packaging. But I find it hard to believe that this big, chrome plated, chunk of metal is better for the environment than a piece of plastic. Or better yet, a cardboard hang tab.

Just virtue signaling.

Funny thing is when Matthew Green's colleague Isis Lovecruft falsely accused me of sexual assault, having Google Maps location data really helped me defend myself.

But double-edged sword: if the government was after me, it would have let them come up with a better lie.

"At a cost of $20 per jab and 2 jabs/vaccination, the cost of preventing a death would be over $1 million, and the cost of preventing a hospitalization would be about $160,000 without considering the costs of any side effects."

Too little, too late.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

...because launching government payloads into orbit at a fraction of the cost of the competition is a "subsidy".

Or did you mean the money for electric cars? Because that kinda sounds like fair payment for fixing an externality more effectively than any other American car company by far.

Bernie Sanders is a morally bankrupt parasite on society.

"Isn't he intentionally bleeding this out to distract from the nursing home deaths?"

Looks like the latter... her Twitter feed is full of bsv shilling.

It's no wonder Israel is trying to effectively make getting vaccinated mandatory... Anyone with a clue looking at the actual top-level stats would be skeptical.

This is like saying you were "seconds away" your house being without electricity for months because a fuse blew.

Yes, if the fuses failed, permanent damage could be done. But literally every single piece of equipment on a competently designed distribution grid is protected by fuses.

The grid has got to deal with lightning storms and all kinds of shorts after all.

Anyone know what these alleged code-of-conduct violations by Isis Lovecruft's former boyfriend, and current Zcash employee, Henry de Valence actually were?

Valence is one of the people who knows first hand that Lovecruft fabricated assault allegations against me...

Israel's test positivity rate is going up, while their testing rate is going down... Sweden's testing rate is fairly steady, and their positivity rate is going down.

Fact is, Israel's drop in cases/deaths might not even be real. I could certainly see people being in denial about the fact that they've gotten covid after getting vaccinated.

Makes you wonder how many people tested positive after getting vaccinated, and then got another test to confirm that they really were infected.

Israel's covid cases and deaths are just beginning to decline a bit, after vaccinating 54% of the population (30% two weeks ago), and after having been in strict lockdown since _September_. Israeli flu season usually peaks between December and February, and weather right now is perfect for fighting flu.

Meanwhile, Sweden's cases and deaths have been falling since late December, having had hardly any lockdown (or even voluntary measures) the whole time, and Sweden is freezing and dark right now.
