So if the U.S. government had done nothing, we’d have less deaths?
Well no not less but don’t underestimate the incompetence of the government and the coverups of the origin of the virus…. We were being manipulated and lied too for way to long in the schools never should’ve been shut down…

Young healthy people didn’t really have much to worry about

The elderly, immuno suppressed and unhealthy were vulnerable…. Protect them and let everyone else go on with their daily lives

The NY Governor killed how many all by himself?

The never needed to make the vaccine mandatory for the entire Federal government …. I still remember Joey Rotten mumbling about the winter of death if you do t take the vaccine …. WTF ….
Your red herrings aside, 15 million people died world wide in the first two years. Vaccines slowed not only death rates by reducing spread but # of infections which can produce long term organ damage and health issues not to mention loss time from work, economic productivity, etc.

As I’ve stated many times, inconveniences and short term economic issues like inflation and supply chain disruption are worth the sacrifice if we’re talking about potentially millions of lives saved. And despite the selfish whining of preventative measures like social distancing, masks, and vaccines, we still managed to recover in a relatively short time.

It becomes a question of morality regarding the sanctity of human life vs. temporary inconveniences.

Really? Because before the Strait was closed oil was around $68. During most of the close it was $90 to $115. Now it’s (WTI) $73.58.
So the market isn’t reacting like it’s closed.

Total loss for the U.S. Iran is joining Israel as a ME superpower. They are having their way with us.

Those price increases of 2021-2023 are still here. Newsflash: They are forever: they aren’t ever going away.

Yep

And the virus didn’t do that

Our incompetent government did that but Klamdami sees all government actions as good

:roll:

Your opinion only on what caused price increases. And of course they don’t come back down. Why would companies not take advantage of that? Will the inflation caused by Trump return to what it was?

If you’re talking about gas prices… yes!

A lot of our government response to Covid was well. We gotta try something no matter how dumb.

Yep. Klamdani wants to claim Econ 101 is an opinion. Print trillions of fiat currency (8 trillion in additional spending 2020-2023 from the magic $$$$ trees in DC in an 30 trillion annual economy and inflation will go up bigly.

Pay people extended enhanced unemployment for up to 1.5 years, then there will be labor shortages & labor costs will skyrocket which = prices have to be raised which = inflation.

Pay most families 3 rounds of stimulus 2020-2021 (3.2 k per adult, 2.5k per child, 11.4k for a family of 4, 14k today inflation adjusted) = too many trillions chasing too few goods and services = inflation.

And then interest rates have to be raised bigly (as they were but way too late by the incompetent Yellen) to try to tamp inflation is a double whammy.

After the 1st big Covid bill early 2020 during the 1st couple months when everyone was spazzing out, we would have been better off if govt had done nothing at all.

I like the part that mRNA is a crappy platform. I can’t wait for his dissertation.
Got one word for you. Beccera. Yeah the guy who previously held RFKs position and oversaw COVID. RFK is an attorney as well, but spent his career ensuring the pharmaceutical industry has some checks. But you keep sucking up to corporations and selling your fellow man out like during Covid.

In regard to mRNA as a platform, I'll ask a simple question that doesn't require science. What is the history of bringing mRNA to the market and what is its target application?

It's a loser as a vaccine is the answer.

Truth Social, where you get your ideas, is a corporation. So….

So you know enough to know how mRNA is currently in clinical trials for several different therapies from cancer to influenza yet you’ve seen enough evidence to determine it’s a loser.

I’m not a scientist. Tell me, is this how the scientific method, peer reviewed studies, and R&D works? Get to an advanced point in the process and then trust SG that it hasn’t been worth the work and $’s? Have you called Moderna yet to let them know yet?
