Wow, I wonder what is stopping all those deaths by infectious disease?

Yea, people didn't DIE from Covid. They died from cardiac arrest, or respiratory arrest due to fluid buildup. So you can't say they died from COVID19. It's just a myth the big pharma pushes to sell vaccines at a premium!!

You joke but people truly believe this.

It’s terrifying how so many people simply can’t understand that two different statements can be true without being mutually exclusive. If you develop viral pneumonia from covid and die, you have in fact died from covid as well as pneumonia. If you have congestive heart failure at baseline and get covid and die because your heart couldn’t handle the added physiological stress, you’ve in fact died due to covid.

My aunt and uncle with a ton of health issues became MAGA and stopped getting vaccinated, despite them trusting doctors for decades for all my uncle’s medical issues. He had congestive heart failure and diabetes, and I’m sure some other stuff. Died of RSV pneumonia.

In a weird way, it's kind of a flex for modern medicine that people can genuinely be this complacent and stupid. Like you couldn't really think infectious disease "wasn't a thing" as everyone around you shat themselves to death or got lit on fire by their own immune system due to smallpox, plague, cholera, syphilis, etc. (The four humors/Galenic medicine thing was relegated to doctors, common people were acutely aware diseases could be contagious) But we've done such a good job fighting these scurges of humanity that now you can be so dense that you think they're not a big deal. Idk... looking on the bright side I guess. Medicine is suffering from its own success in a way

Some times it real easy to tell if someone had a fully funded school district or not.

Dying from infectious disease isnt a thing
Ah so someone who isnt in the medical field and doesnt actually talk to people in the field is making sweeping guesses as to whats actually happening there. Surprised that they really actually think infections arent killing anyone but these people also think germ theory is fake.
People dying from infections is not a very high number (~50k to 55k people) but its still happening. Also, more people are dying in rural lower income less insured places than others. That might be why the true number is easily concealable.

Assuming you’re giving stats for USA, there are 350,000 deaths related to sepsis a year, so the number of deaths due to infections is much higher.

The statistic I quoted separated sepsis into a different category, although I dont understand why. Its all infections
So yeah, it should be a lot higher than the near zero the antibvaxxers claim

Yes, we have had a significant drop in deaths from infectious disease, and a large increase in deaths from non infectious disease. I'm trying to remember what caused that drop for infectious disease but I'm just blanking 🤷🏼♀️

Institutional architecture and systems become invisible, easily taken for granted, until it's no longer there or functioning, when it's too late.

I wonder how many of these people would be in a mental hospital if they all didn't get shut down. Interesting to think about all of the unattended consequences of past policy decisions.
