Covid: NYT cherry-picking apples and oranges

Febraury 22, 2023. The New York time cherry picks data to confirm a false, preconceived narrative about the pandemic. The death rate in the 1918-20 was four times as high as the current pandemic; the average age at death in the earlier flu was 28, about thirty years below life expectancy. The average age of death WITH Covid today is 79, which is the average life expectancy.

Look below. The upper left table only shows deaths in the last three months, masking the massive deaths in the northeast in total, as shown in the image in the lower right. Tracking the relationship between vaccines and Covid deaths for only the past three months (top right figure) tells us little to nothing of interest or value. Neither vaccinations or masks prevent the spread of Covid. Vaccines might reduce the likelihood of dying from Covid but the vaccine can also be a cause of death sans Covid. Masks may reduce some aerosol spread, but staying home when sick, washing hands, not touching your face, and maintaining your immune system are much more effective preventive strategies. The tiny tables in the lower left show how the virus has hit in waves at different times around the country and around the world. In India, the death rate for Covid is 100 times lower than it was for the Spanish flu of 1918-20, and the current decline in deaths preceded the vaccination roll out and the decline can be better explained by widespread intervention use. not vaccines.
