WSJ: Why the Rush for Toddler Vaccines?
Covid was clearly a health emergency for adults in 2020. By contrast, the urgency now feels political.

Only now, it feels political... you stupid fucks.
If anything goes wrong with those kids, that blood is on your hands.

America was in an early-death crisis long before Covid
Ed Yong writes:
Jacob Bor has been thinking about a parallel universe. He envisions a world in which America has health on par with that of other wealthy nations, and is not an embarrassing outlier that, despite spending more on health care than any other country, has shorter life spans, higher rates of chronic disease and maternal mortality, and fewer doctors per capita than its peers. Bor, an epidemiologist at Boston University School of Public Health, imagines the people who are still alive in that other world but who died in ours. He calls such people “missing Americans.” And he calculates that in 2021 alone, there were 1.1 million of them.
Bor and his colleagues arrived at that number by using data from an international mortality database and the CDC. For every year from 1933 to 2021, they compared America’s mortality rates with the average of Canada, Japan, and 16 Western European nations (adjusting for age and population). They showed that from the 1980s onward, the U.S. started falling behind its peers. By 2019, the number of missing Americans had grown to 626,000. After COVID arrived, that statistic ballooned even further—to 992,000 in 2020, and to 1.1 million in 2021. Were the U.S. “just average compared to other wealthy countries, not even the best performer, fully a third of all deaths last year would have been prevented,” Bor told me. That includes half of all deaths among working-age adults. “Think of two people you might know under 65 who died last year: One of them might still be alive,” he said. “It raises the hairs on the back of my neck.”
These counterfactuals puncture two common myths about America’s pandemic experience: that the U.S. was just one unremarkable victim of a crisis that spared no nation and that COVID disrupted a status quo that was strong and worth restoring wholesale. In fact, as one expert predicted in March 2020, the U.S. had the worst outbreak in the industrialized world—not just because of what the Trump and Biden administrations did, but also because of the country’s rotten rootstock. COVID simply did more of what life in America has excelled at for decades: killing Americans in unusually large numbers, and at unusually young ages. “I don’t think people in the United States actually have any awareness of just how poorly we do as a country at letting people live to old age,” Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, a sociologist at the University of Minnesota, told me.
Someone might reasonably ask: What’s the big deal if I die at 76 versus 78? But in fact, life expectancy is falling behind other wealthy nations in large part because a lot of Americans are dying very young—in their 40s and 50s, rather than their 70s and 80s. The country is experiencing what Bor and his colleagues call “a crisis of early death”—a long-simmering tragedy that COVID took to a furious boil.
In every country, the coronavirus wrought greater damage upon the bodies of the elderly than the young. But this well-known trend hides a less obvious one: During the pandemic, half of the U.S.’s excess deaths—the missing Americans—were under 65 years old. Even though working-age Americans were less likely to die of COVID than older Americans, they fared considerably worse than similarly aged people in other countries.

Joe Biden* just another of those in the ever-growing list of examples of the only people getting Covid being the ones who were vaccinated.
How you feeling, mudblood?

Quote:I quoted an entire article that uses statistics to prove that about a million Americans die unnecessarily per year. The article didn't go on to explain why, because that information is not in the statistics but I would guess the dead people died because they don't trust doctors and they don't have the money to pay if they did. The money angle has been solved in other countries, but not in the USA, which has the most expensive medical system on Earth. It is Republican Senators filibustering all political solutions to the expensive medical system.

The most expensive health care system in the world

If your purpose was to make the most money, then having high prices makes perfect sense. If your purpose was to have a healthy population, then the highest prices in the world makes no sense.

A lot of youth straight up murdered themselves when they weren't overdosing on drugs after your party ruined their lives for 2 years over a virus that doesn't kill anybody.
99% of the gun violence in this country is minority on minority violence in Democrat ran shit holes.
That doesn't help your statistics.

I wonder where you got your statistics? Where I am from it is poor white trash killing other poor white trash. It is poor white trash overdosing themselves. It is poor white trash refusing to go to the doctor. It is poor white trash getting fired from construction jobs because of drunkenness and incompetence. It is me doing the firing. Poor white trash voting for Trump, too!
If anybody desperately needs to fix themselves, it is poor white trash, especially the ones that keep saying they are doing great when I see they have no idea what great means or how to behave properly.
I have told you this several times, but in case you disbelieve, my relatives (excluding my sisters and their children) are all poor white trash who voted for Trump. Their lives are total car wrecks (divorce, unemployment, drunkenness, out-of-wedlock births, bankruptcy, evictions, car crashes, gluttony, burglary, embezzlement, you name a sin and one of my relatives could be used as an example.) They never have any shame and never behave themselves with understanding of how to get into the upper middle class. You should hear the freaky conversations my Trumptard relatives have about overthrowing the Democrats. My people are amusingly demented about Trump, the 2020 election, and dangerous because they are armed and stupid.

If even a single kid dies from the Covid vaccine, the entire CDC should be brought up on murder charges.
The parents of any children who die from the Covid shots should be brought up on manslaughter charges as well.
