If you stick around you will see almost all posters are snarky and/or often completely missing the point. There’s a point to this thread? Do we get a winner at the end?

I posted it for people with an open mind and Interest in the subject for their consideration with a link to the video, should they care to watch it. I drew no conclusions just posted the main points from the video as I saw them. Of the 17k+ people that unfortunately died they, on average died at or around the average life expectancy for a UK citizen. I have no axe to grind on the subject I try to follow the data from reports and research on the subject, now being in an extremely high risk group to any infection I have a vested interest in it. The average life expectancy for a UK citizen is calculated at birth. If you are 82 you still have maybe 8 years of life expectancy left on average.

In either case, an 82 year old wouldn't have an average of 8 years life expectancy left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 11 hours ago, PistoldPete said: An average 82 year old still has about 8 years of life expectancy, despite usually having lots of minor or even major ailments. Some people aged 90 may die of COVID. Some like MeatLoaf only 74, so it averages out. . Some people die much younger. So your point is what exactly? If you are old and have ever had anything wrong with you, you may as well catch covid and die? My point is that it firstly, it’s doesn’t back up the narrative that absolutely everyone is likely to die, and secondly that ANY death as a result of the vaccine was avoidable.

YouRams Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Call me a conspiracist but the people at the top with all the scientific knowledge about this so called deadly virus were throwing birthday parties, having affairs and so on during the peak times of the crisis, does this not scream to you it’s nowhere near as bad as they’ve led everyone to believe?

Or maybe none if you catch corona. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandlifeexpectancies/articles/lifeexpectancycalculator/2019-06-07 Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 So despite pretty much everyone now accepting that this virus is now no longer any more dangerous than the flu, it appears my daughters school have decided to revert back to remote learning because they want to implement a 'circuit breaker', and obviously school teachers are very well placed to assess what affect this will have on public health. Absolute cretins. Archied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute cretins. Still getting the current equivalent of 100,000 deaths per year. There has never been a flu death toll in this country approaching those figures in the last 25 years. You're right - the people who say it's 'no more dangerous than the flu' are, and always have been, absolute cretins. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
