Is it just me or are we hearing a LOT less about the number of Covid deaths being reported the past couple months?  It used to be a daily thing like the body count reports on the nightly news during Vietnam.  It’s now all about the positive news regarding vaccines and reopenings.  If so what happened the past couple of months that have changed that. Hmmmm. 🤔

 

Heaven forbid you actually do some research:

You do realize you just did a great job of proving  my point.  Thanks man!  

 

@BillStime  roll your eyes all you want but I guess you're not smart enough to see how you made my point.  Read my post then look at  your chart.  Read my post again then look at your chart again. After 10 or 12 rounds of this exercise the penny my drop but I doubt it.

Pfizer - the first to release a covid vaccine - didn’t take a dime from Warp Speed.

Yes, they sold the government vaccines but they spent $1.5 B of their money for the development of the actual vaccine.

You freakn didn’t even read the article and Doc purposely left the paragraph before his quote out:

 

Pfizer has distanced itself from Mr. Trump and Operation Warp Speed. In an interview on Sunday, Kathrin Jansen, a senior vice president and the head of vaccine research and development at Pfizer, said, “We were never part of the Warp Speed,” adding, “we have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone.”

In New Zealand they're practically locked-in their houses.  They can't have anyone come over and they can't go out doing things like fishing in case they have an accident and emergency services need to be called.  Good luck doing that here.

Ok so I was driving into work this morning and there was one of those large programmable signs on the freeway.  I was going with the flow of 90mph so I only caught a glimpse.  All I saw was "Something Something (a number) Deaths in CA in 2020.  So I thought well there goes my theory above.  Then I come to another and got a chance to read it all.  It was a Drive Safe PSA. The number was number of vehicle deaths in CA in 2020.  Those signs used to say "Stop the Spread!  Wear A Mask"  My theory stands......

Not sure.  I got that info from A GI doc who has since retired, who got it from a good friend who spends half his time in the US and half in New Zealand and was stuck there.  Haven't seen the GI doc since.

The reason I ask it is debunks that Twit's Tweet about saying "This could be us!"

Simple people like to think that just because some country has success at something, it automatically means it can be reproduced in the US.
