What a moron. Hasn’t anyone paid attention to the fact that the REAL death toll from the virus is going to be in the next 2-3 years? The number of people infected with the virus that have brain damage and heart damage is far higher than those that die of respiratory complications. And there is absolutely no indication that ANY kind of immunity results from infection, let alone “herd immunity.”

Wake the hell up, Jeffrey Tucker. This is not a typical virus.

Anonymous -With tens of trillions of viri living on and in the typical human body, “there is absolutely no indication that ANY kind of immunity” is needed. It is obviously not the presence of Viri that causes disease. We are loaded with tens of trillions of viri. It is a lack of balance which results in disease. It is foolish to think that health can be maintained by avoiding a specific virus. https://earthsky.org/human-world/trillions-of-viruses-human-virome

Did he mean “herd mentality”?

I was talking to a buddy of mine who is a professor. Not an immunologist, but in a field with a lot of statistics. I brought up Sweden. He parroted the stuff he sees in the (left wing) media and said that Sweden’s approach has clearly failed. I told him he’s looking backward when he needs to look forward. According to WorldOMeter.info Sweden had 34 new coronavirus cases yesterday. Not deaths, cases. It’s slowed to a crawl, despite only 20% seropositivity. It may indeed require 60-70% immunity to bring about herd immunity, but the superficial analysts (including many virologists) are ignoring the fact that so many seem to have innate immunity without antibodies.

The US can’t yet see such an overall drop in cases because the US is a large country that has faced its coronavirus exposure in waves – first NYC & Boston and now the South and SW. There’s no way on God’s green earth we could successfully test, trace and isolate away a respiratory virus like this in a country of 330 million people. It’s going to do what it’s going to do. And what it’s going to do is a lot less than what had been projected. Take your zinc and quercetin, your C and D (once fall kicks in). Let the kids go to school, and all will be right in the garden.

I posted this comment in the “It’s the Deaths, Stupid” article a few days ago. Excerpt is in the “Success Stories”

A view from Switzerland:

“Sweden: Sweden had no lockdown, no mask requirement and no primary school closures, but instead mainly relied on the personal responsibility and cooperation of the population. This approach worked well and Sweden saw only a low mortality rate in the general population, comparable to a seasonal flu wave.

Nevertheless, the overall mortality rate in Sweden was indeed higher than in the neighboring Scandinavian countries or in Germany, which was portrayed by many international media as an alleged “failure of the Swedish no-lockdown strategy”.

However, most media didn’t mention that three quarters of Swedish deaths occured in nursing facilities, which require targeted protection and do not benefit from a general lockdown of society. Indeed, at 86 years, the median age of Swedish Covid deaths is likely the highest in the world.

The Swedish government has also been one of the few to apologize for the insufficient protection of nursing patients and to announce an investigation, but this has again been portrayed by many media as an alleged “failure of the Swedish no-lockdown strategy”.

Yet even total mortality in Sweden remained below the strongest seasonal flu waves of the past thirty years. Moreover, Sweden may now benefit from a very high natural immunity, especially in view of the latest immunological studies on the actual range of antibody tests”

Anybody else notice the new cv surge started with every state along the Mexican border just as the agricultural migrants started moving North ? That’ll be 10 or 20 million new infections imported.

Has anybody noticed that it has happened in election swing states?

Pretty much the sort of ice cold idiocy I’d expect from Tuck the Dumb Fuck.

He is, prima facie,why libertardians should never be allowed to make decisions that affect other people.
