he Hill adds “The media is complicit in furthering the Panic… how you could die tomorrow, from a virus that kills virtually nobody healthy under the age of 70.”


'virtually nobody'?
As of March 31, 2021:
all sexes age 0-17............246
all sexes age 18-29........1,957
all sexes age 30-39........5,683
all sexes age 40-49......15,444
all sexes age 50-59......80,361
all sexes age 60-74.....117,252
Total all ages 0-74........220,943 dead Americans.
Everyone is 'reasonably' healthy for their age, till they aren't.

"Don't Believe the Hype About COVID 'Super Strains,' Says Top Virologist"

quote
I am not worried at all that this virus is going to out-evolve vaccines. People have been looking at it the wrong way. People have been looking at antibodies. People say, “ah, the variants are less susceptible to antibodies. But, you know what? They are ignoring T-cells. It turns out, none of the variants have changes that would impact the ability of the T-cells to kill an infected cell. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine turns out to be 100% effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths in South Africa…. I just saw an article today that showed that the U.K. variant ... made no difference in the outbreak in the U.K. It made no difference. The people who know, they are not worrying that the vaccines are going to be compromised by a variant. That’s what I can say with certainty.


I dunno. A few hours ago they were talking "Covid" on MSNBC and the guest (Laurie Garrett) was expressing concern about the growing number of "variants" or "strains" all around the world and here in the U.S.--i.e., "Mutant Covid."

But I stumbled upon this new and longish ("magazine length") report and so, what do I do?

THIS.

It's what I do.
