Hello, newbie. Goodbye. I Super Ignore fools.
Not true and you have no evidence of that "pronounced truth" other than your deep, deep "research" into the matter. LOL, as you like to say.
I think they were misled by Trump. They were dumb to listen to a braying ass president. Other people got Covid because they associated with the dumb people who listened to Trump. Either way, the deaths and maimings are your "loony" and "stupid" president's fault. I'm still anxious to see how many he needlessly kills this term. He's off to a good start resurrecting measles. MADA (Make America Dead Again).

Biden was misled?
Did you even read the post you quoted? It was what SIX SENTENCES, for god's sake? Let me post it again for you. Be sure to take your time and sound out the big words.

Not a newbie. It's another poster's burner account for when he says something especially idiotic.
Thanks for the heads up, sringwal.
Ah, the wack-a-mole game! I wonder how long this account will last. I checked my Super Ignore list a few weeks ago and several users had "disappeared" (a.k.a., no longer had accounts on the board). It always blows my mind the desire of some people to troll. I suppose some are just that needy for attention.
Enough. I've got to get to work.

It should be possible to separate two different contentions:
1. There were substantial number of stupid people who followed Trump's advice and the other right-wing quacks and died as a result (or contracted a serious illness).
2. Lots of people who didn't pay any attention to Trump also got sick;
3. At this point, covid is not really a function of choices being made.
I suspect the original poster was trying to talk about the situation in 2020 and has made statements that imply he's talking about the whole 5 years. Maybe he's intending that, but I still think his mental focus was on 2020.
It is quite foolish to assert that one has never had Covid. I very much doubt *everyone* has had Covid, because infections don't work that way, but it's almost impossible to say if you've had it because for some people it is lightly symptomatic or even not at all.

I’m not a believer in humans blaming someone else when the data was so clear. Trumps administration created the vaccine. He got vaccinated. He said a ton of stupid shit. If people took from all that they should not get vaccinated that’s on them. Even if they did, the vaccine did not have a 100% efficacy ever. It’s not even close to that now.
CDC said 78% of Americans had Covid by end of 2022. That was over two years ago and the virus hasn’t stopped circulating.

1. That's an estimate
2. It's not a linear process. It will be hyperbolic. There will never be a time when everyone has had Covid. The number of people who have gotten Covid for the first time in the last two years will be considerably less than the number who got it in the first two years.
Point is: I don't think it's correct to say that everyone's had it. I do think it's accurate to say that the likelihood of any person having had it is substantially north of 50%, even if they think they haven't. It's straightforward Bayesian probability.

Fair enough. A poster listing 90% of his family and saying none have had Covid is insane.
LOL. You're too deep in the cult to bother with. You learned all the wrong lessons from Covid. Hope you're as lucky with the next global pandemic. With Trump in office, you can be confident you'll get it. And this time, there won't be a vaccine. R.I.P., Dr. Lynch. Nice knowin' ya.
Oh, congrats on winding up in Super Ignore. Too many maga talking points and too little reading comprehension. Bah Bye.

What are you disputing? People have to own their decisions or what the CDC said?

My wife and I didn't get Covid until June 2024 (last year).

That you know of. That's the big problem here. Some people have it, but do not show symptoms, or show mild symptoms. Were you testing yourself every time you had a sniffle? (and even if you were, you still might have had it).
I haven't had a Covid diagnosis either, but that doesn't mean I haven't had it.

That’s the thing. Covid is unbelievably contagious. The virus isn’t the most contagious thing we’ve ever seen but it’s the most contagious virus that is regularly circulating. The wastewater data in NC shows there have been a lot of peaks of COVID even in the last 24 months but most have no clue. My sister tested positive at the peak of it and despite having her sit by an open door and my parents on the other side of a huge living room with windows open - they also got it. So many others in that room did not. My parents tested just because my sister wanted them to test. Both positive. Both would have never guessed there was a thing wrong with them. They tested multiple times as they didn’t think they had it since they felt normal. Always positive for Covid. When people say they haven’t gotten Covid, it’s like they don’t know anything about the virus. That’s why it was so bad. You could be positive and spreading and have no idea. Therefore it’s crazy to say this you have got it and neither did this person and this person and this person. Just making up stuff….
I neglected earlier to mention perhaps the most heroic stand against the pandemic and the Trump death cult - my father. He turned 91 in February of 2020. Before Covid, he was pretty social. He played in multiple bridge clubs and regularly attended church and VFW meetings. He even had a "girlfriend". When Covid hit, his previous life was upended. But, as with all other aspects of his life, he responsibly soldiered on. He isolated, distanced, got his shots, and avoided Trumpsters. He took up online bridge and attended church virtually. He even took up a hobby alien to him in his pre-pandemic life - reading books. He was also lucky to have the support of my science-believing sister, niece and nephew. He's another example of a smart, resourceful person who didn't get Covid and didn't gleefully kill others with it. He did finally die on December 7, 2022. His cause of death? A sudden heart attack at 93 just like his 94 year old mother 25 years earlier.
Not all of my family were spared from Covid. My oldest son got it from one of his Trump-lovin' housemates. My oldest daughter got it from her boyfriend who had to work around Trump cultists. My two youngest kids got it at school when our idiotic governor decided it was a good idea to open schools in the middle of a global pandemic. Governor Trump Diaper-Licker killed thousands in this state with his "keep the economy open and kill as many citizens as possible" strategy. I'm sure Dr. Lynch would have approved.
