I agree that something smells and more than just the clear lies "for our own good" or other BS that came from both presidents in power while this virus rages.

As for the chart, the numbers agree well with what I've heard doctors interviewed live on TV confirm as well as close friends in the medical profession have said.

We should have put a "Manhattan Project" level of effort into getting data from everyone to learn why some suffer so much and why most of us don't get sick at all or get sick and recover after a very bad flu.

I have personal reasons to believe some of the meds they give old people for depression might give them some immunity but we'll not know unless we look at large collections of data. That is something most, including me, are not willing to give up without getting something back. We're quite selfish as a collective and not trusting of big government, for very good reason.

They "lied" to us by calling a new technology a "vaccine" where clearly what the shots do is train our bodies to fight the virus like a healthy, young immune system should. It should have been called something like an "immunity booster shot" as they clearly do not provide "immunity" in the classical sense.
A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease.[1] A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future.

I fully agree that people should be given a choice. Also, I should not be required to wear a mask to protect someone who chooses not to get a course of "immunity booster shots."

"They" could easily add $100 a month to the Medicare payments for part B and something for part C for those who don't get the suggested "immunity booster shots." Thus, those with higher risk of hospitalization would cover the costs.

We'll probably get to this they way things are going where the poor and POC will get exemptions for political gain while those of us who've worked hard and saved so we have higher incomes in retirement will pay extra to make up for it... much like how the cost of my health insurance as a self employed worker went up 4x or 5x after my "pool" was invaded by mandate to include everyone not healthy enough to get a full time job with health insurance.
