Chan School of Public Health. So the mob and forces pushing the pandemic panic increased long covid? its more of a physical side effect to mental health stress?

So they can cite those and get away with the claim. However, I still don't think an otherwise healthy 20 year old with depression needs to be vaccinated. So can stress. Do we vaccinate everybody who feels stressed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no I said I wouldn't recommend vaccinating otherwise healthy young people because of depression or stress alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's due to people with those conditions being in generally poor health.

dpberr Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Seeing James O'Keefe getting forced out of Project Veritas for their episode on Pfizer tells you a couple things. Pfizer is protected by the uniparty. The information in that "episode" was likely 100% correct which is why it was A) buried in the media cycle and B) steps taken to prevent future curious inquires into Pfizer. Back to regularly scheduled programming on partisan politic stories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 In Boston, COVID is now anti-racist Yesterday, the Boston Globe published one of its periodic reminders that everyone should still be afraid because COVID is still out there and it’s still killing people. But citing a new study from Boston University’s School of Public Health, there has been a demographic shift in COVID deaths across Massachusetts over the past year. During the surge in Omicron variant infections at the beginning of 2022, Black and Hispanic patients were dying at rates higher than white patients. Now, however, white people in the Bay State are dying from the ‘Rona at measurably higher rates than minorities. So how did that happen? You might be wondering why we need to be tracking COVID deaths based on skin color, but shut up, racist. In all seriousness, though, the study does raise some interesting questions. Last March, Hispanic patients were 1.5 times more likely to die from COVID than white patients, while Black patients were 1.3 times more likely to pass away. That’s a small, but statistically meaningful difference. Curiously, COVID deaths among Asian patients were far lower than any other category over the entire course of the pandemic. In recent months, however, the numbers have flipped. The COVID death rate among Black patients is just two-thirds that of white patients. Hispanic patients are dying at three-quarters the rate of whites. To my knowledge, there has never been a single study suggesting that there is some inherent, genetic difference between the races making one more or less likely to die from the disease, so something else must be going on. The virus did not suddenly sign up for some sort of cultural awareness program. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2023/02/21/in-boston-covid-is-now-anti-racist-n532153 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
