This must be old, we were almost at 1.6m deaths by the end of 2020. Over 5 million by the end of 2021. Thanks God.
Well, by the end of 2021 there were a little under 800k deaths (edit: in the US), so the vast majority were not from the US, let alone Republican.
1.6M by the end of 2020, but also 800k by the end of 2021.
Maybe God did some work after all?
2020 was still very much in the projection stage, the numbers got adjusted constantly until a good representation was agreed upon.
For example, one of the first "Covid-deaths" in my area was an 87 year-old man on palliative care for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He died, they ran a post-mortem covid test on him, it came back positive. Later on, he got removed from covid death statistics as it was probably not covid that killed him.
most of them were Republicans.
I wonder if that will make a noticeable impact on the 2024 election?
He was given paxlovid or whatever horse vaccine lol. I would have preferred him get UV internally like he wanted.
A-1 makes Meatloaf sing, but COVID finishes off Meatloaf… or something, I am not a comedian.
I think there might be something there. Maybe "A-1 makes Meatloaf sing, COVID-19 made him croak?"
Kind of an encapsulation of their modern mindset. "Thanks, big guy, for making others suffer instead of me."
Shouldn't they be thanking god because they're in heaven and we should be cursing him for not taking us?
I mean, seriously. Think about the music they’ll have in heaven.
It’s all going to be the same shit with the same 3 chords for eternity. It’d be like listening to the same 5 elevator songs for all of eternity.
I don't disagree. I wouldn't want to spend eternity praising the Abrahamic god... but that's what you're supposed to want. So the dead people should be the grateful ones. And not just Jerry Garcia.
Ah, yes. Praise the patron god of sadism and injustice for working his vile deeds on others while the faithful escape a perceived just fate.
The Economist (2022):The pandemic’s true death toll is between 19.2 and 36.3 million “With 95% confidence interval.”
Yes, how religious types completely overlook the contradiction is beyond me
If it's good for me, God directly did it
If it's bad, it's my/our fault somehow
