Reaction to COVID
The Nocebo Effect (fear/strss/uncertainty) kills. Democrats maximized that for money, power and political gain.

If you understand the Nocebo Effect, and how fear/stress/uncertainty harms people, you were horrified by the response to COVID. 330 million Americans (billions globally), who are told a disease with the death rate of the flu, is going to kill them if they don't stay locked up in their homes, wear ineffective cloth masks, and stop working out or doing things that give them stress relief. And the results were hundreds of thousands of "extra" deaths over normal. Some were easily traceable like abuse (substance/physical), and others were just higher rates of hypertension or attributed to underlying causes that wouldn't have ended a life, if people weren't put under the psychological stresses caused by the left's sensationalism.
Things that harm people:
- Being locked away
- Closing all sports facilities, many parks, much recreation
- Restricting social life, families, travel
- Destroying livelihoods
- Threat of an uncertain future (career, social, etc)
- Promoting social divide and destroying families
- Using insufficiently-tested vaccines and therapies under threat of death
This was NOT done unknowingly. The evidence of the costs were there -- but when people got too loud, they were censored, fired, attacked. The left had a "The Great Reset" as their agenda (remaking the world economy under threat of an external factor). And when COVID wasn't enough, they just moved back to Climate Crisis, or Social Justice as their next excuses for the same agenda. But the following proves it's not an accident:
- Censorship
- Suppression of evidence
- Propaganda (Fake Science) downplaying 99.9%+ survival rate
- Intimidation / Demanding compliance
- Closing Schools, Restaurants, Gyms, and Churches -- while keeping open bars
- Over-sensitive testing with lots of fear-inducing false positives (including “asymptomatic")
- Over-counting death rates in general and misattributing everything to COVID deaths
- Destroying many jobs through lockdownsm, vaccine mandates, thought policing
- Isolating kids through school shutdowns
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
A common measure for the risk of a disease is the total decline in life expectancy due to it. (How many years of life are lost, when looking at your expected lifespan).
- Obesity averages 10 years
- Diabetes (Type-2) averages 6 years
- Hypertension averages 5 years
- COVID averages 0 years
It killed mostly old and very sick people (comorbidities), and thus most people that died, died within a few months (or a year) of when they were going to die anyways. Most people weren't going to die. Thus the total death impact was immeasurably small.
That doesn't mean there weren't tragedies. There were great and otherwise healthy people that died because of COVID. It's just that would happen anyways due to other things, and the relative risk of this was FAR lower than other significant things.
I lost both of my parents not due to COVID... but fear of COVID (and hospitals during COVID), causing them to delay treatment on other health issues... that they delayed treatment went too far and they died from those easily treatable issues instead. Their lives mattered too. And their millions of other deaths were a consequence of political policies and an agenda that callously was willing to sacrifice them at the altar of political opportunism.
