    Singapore is one of the few countries that have done a great job with covid. Their Minister of Health released an interesting report on excess deaths from the start of the pandemic through the end of June 2022. 100% of excess deaths are either due to covid directly or from other causes after covid infection (IOW, all covid related). This might not completely translate to other countries, but it does say one thing - there are many deaths caused by covid infection downstream (shouldn't be a surprise based on recent studies showing covid infection causing increased mortality in many other areas).

    From the report: As compared to 2019 before covid started, ~3/5 of the excess deaths are directly related to covid. The other ~2/5 deaths "can be explained by patients who passed away from other illnesses within 90 days after being infected with Covid-19. In other words, Covid-19 aggravated existing illnesses, resulting in further mortalities. In a secondary analysis of persons without recent infection, no additional excess deaths were found".

    can't vouch for any of this. what I can say is, media conspiracy.

    Report: U.S. Intelligence Agencies Are Keeping From Congress Key Information About Covid Origins

    https://thefederalist.com/2022/12/15/report-u-s-intelligence-agencies-are-keeping-from-congress-key-information-about-covid-origins/

    excerpt:

    U.S. intelligence agencies are obstructing congressional oversight by failing to disclose relevant information about Covid-19’s origins and potential connections to a Chinese bioweapons program, finds a new report from the Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence. The HPSCI Republicans led by Rep. Brad Wenstrup of Ohio found “indications that SARS-CoV-2 may have been tied to China’s biological weapons research program and spilled over to the human population during a lab-related incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).”

    U.S. intelligence agencies, along with corporate media and Big Tech, scrambled at Covid’s release to censor suggestions the virus leaked from a lab working on gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Publications such as The Federalist that reported on evidence for the lab leak theory were punished by internet censors.

    Wenstrup confirmed during a press conference on Thursday that “right now, there’s no evidence that it came from nature.” He also said China’s communist government likely benefitted from misleading reports that Covid originated in a Chinese wet market, instead of from a government-run lab.

    “Since the People’s Republic of China has not been transparent in sharing information, the IC is uniquely situated to provide relevant information. However, the IC has thus far failed to inform the public and failed to keep its Congressional oversight committees fully informed about what it knows,” the report states. “The IC owes the American people greater transparency on the information it already has and must be fully transparent to those in Congress with oversight responsibility.”

    Instead of “adequately” addressing lab leak theories, the committee said various intelligence agencies — including the CIA, FBI, DHS, the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Energy’s Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, and the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security — “downplayed the possibility that SARS-CoV2 was connected to China’s bioweapons program based in part on input from outside experts.”

    Not only did intelligence bureaucrats fail to disclose to Congress which “experts” they relied on to reach that conclusion, they also omitted important information from the declassified version of their classified assessment.

    It was a lab leak.

    Fauci and Collins were involved in funding gain-of-function work in the lab via EcoHealthAlliance.

    Then Fauci was involved in discrediting the lab leak theory and in hindering investigations.

    Then Fauci pushed the Western world to take the same measures as China.

    Then Fauci and others in government pushed social media companies to silence dissent with regard to origins of Covid, vaccine mandates, mask mandates, lockdowns, etc.

    The Left will still defend him, even after all those facts eventually come out.

    Tell me... looks to me like a woman who chose to deal with the possibility of COVID in her own way and didn't affect any other person in the entire world and is detailing her personal experience without denigrating anyone.

    This is all true. I am not saying she should not have the right to do what she did, but it seems quite clear to me that she has some kind of anxiety disorder and Covid tunnel vision, much like Bob Wachter.
