On the Covid front, here’s an interesting story from Epoch Times, with sourcing to CDC—which means that the insurance CEO from Indiana wasn’t just blowing smoke.
Again, we have to bear in mind that anyone who says anything about Wuflu vs non Wuflu deaths is full of it. We have no idea who has died of what because the data is so hopelessly and intentionally mangled at every level by corrupt hospitals, corrupt county and state governments, and by the feds. We are playing their con game when we debate over virus deaths. It's for good reason that bad cattitude and other stat experts do NOT use US data. They go overseas for that and then try to make sense of US all cause deaths.
I'm beyond disappointed in SCOTUS. I'm beyond disappointed that the idiots who argued that case all but ignored the OUTCOMES. That said, the vaccine failure is WAY TOO big to hide already. Another week for the anger at the administrative state to grow might not be a bad thing. Child vaccine regret is growing by the minute.
This story claims to be based on examination of CDC data, whereas the "original story"--the interview with the insurance CEO--was based on his company's data. That's how I understood it. The CEO was talking about 18-60, but this story breaks the total population 18-80+ into three groups, so it's different.
Total speculation, but there has been a massive amount of new information and developments, specifically with regard to injections and boosts. From official sources. Hopefully this is having an effect.
Not to be too cynical but a certain pivot strategy or thread the needle strategy seems to be emerging : COVID is becoming endemic, we can handle with over the counter treatments ( sold by Pfizer) AND it was the public health policies of lockdowns, masks, distancing, testing and rapid vaccines that made it so. Zhou will start the process today of trying to make everybody believe that COVID is no longer a threat but the policies should stay because other similar threats are lurking. They keep the fear and lose the COVID. As Trump might say, Sad.

I thought the original story was a 40% increase in "working age people", so 18-60 something.

More speculation--Zhou is reported to be going to "address the nation" re Covid today. Is SCOTUS holding off releasing opinion for that?
