Either way, I question why they would cheat/hack the last election but
not this one? Keeping the numbers up would hide the 2020 spike. Not doing it this time makes it really stick out.
2020 was the year of the scamdemic.

2020 was the year of the scamdemic. Cheaters had all kinds of avenues to trave
that year. The lack of the fear of dying by walking out the door made it harde
to cheat. Plus, supposedly, the RNC was on top of things this time around.

And you don't know that number either. In the US they started playing with words... They went from death from covid to death related to or whatever.

Yeah, I don't buy that. Several states still allow unquestioned mail-in balloting, and many states (AZ, NV, and others) still claim it will take them "forever" to count ballots. In other words, if they wanted to keep cheating, they could have. Something else is/was amiss.

In any case, Alan doesn't have the ability to think for himself. He has no self-awareness. He's the kind of person who touches a hot stove and blames the stove for the pain - then goes and touches it again.
It could also be a memory problem. We've explained things to him hundreds of times and then by the next day, he's forgotten everything that had been explained to him the previous day.
In some cases, I agree with those deaths being included. If someone
would not have died had they not also had COVID, or if COVID lead to new chronic health problems that eventually killed them then, in my mind,
they died "because of COVID."
These are the cases that should not have been counted as "COVID deaths."
They would still count towards total COVID cases, though, and that number was probably *under-reported* as some people who had certain strains
never knew they had it and never got tested/counted.
My distrust involves how certain persons in government at the time... mainly Fauci... were using their time in the spotlight to flip-flop their message in order to troll people who were anti-mask, anti-vax, etc. He should have stayed on message and not stooped to that level. Our state's leading health official during that time stayed on message and I had no issues trusting his guidance because he didn't play games.

I read an interesting theory on this recently.
We all know about how people adapt. Someone with poorly functioning
legs, for example, will adapt and usually build very strong upper body muscles as compensation.
People with autism do the same thing, but from a mental point of view.
So someone with autism who is socially inept will develop other mental skills to the point where they are very strong in order to compensate
for the defect in the social areas.
"It's amazing that so many people on the left are able to just ignore
that which goes against their theories."
For Alan, when he hears (sees) an fact that goes counter to his false Narrative, he simply ignores it.

Jesus... Alan... The COVID "vaccine" is not a vaccine in the regular sense.
M-RNA is not a vaccine... It didn't prevent infection.. It did nothing... It might have harmed you because your system was injected with foreign M-RNA and that has the potential of altering your own DNA

That makes sense, and I'm sure that it's true, and it's not what the
left expected.
The Elitists wanted chaos and social turmoil. They wanted to wreck most men and women as part of that.
They want to believe that they can control things, but Reality keeps telling them that they can't. But they do as all Elitists do: Double
down on their failed policies.
But how many were truly credible? A lot of those that "came forward"
were slinging at least as much BS as the Democrats were.
I will say this... the Democrats, early on, slung a lot of BS about it
not being anything to worry about (see Pelosi and NY politicians when it came to wanting tourist to visit their Chinatowns for Chinese New Year) and, later, slung a lot of BS about the shot being bogus (see Harris) which ultimately lead to a lot of minorities not trusting or getting the shot once they were available.
I bring those two examples up because, in both cases, they did a 180 on their stances and lied about having them to begin with.
You didn't say it, but others have been floating his name as a
replacement Surgeon General -- a position he has no business being in -- so I was not sure why you threw his name out there. If that isn't what you meant, that is good. I would like to see politicians not getting

No vaccine prevents disease or virus from infecting someone. It helps your body fight off infection.
First you agreed with me that the polio vaccine is effective at preventing polio, and then you said "No vaccine prevents disease."
It's not a big deal, but you totally contradicted yourself. People do that sometimes, especially when they're frantically trying to be right about something that they didn't put much thought into.
The polio and smallpox vaxes were effective enough that they pretty much stamped out the diseases in question (well, until people quit taking
them, and until we started letting these diseases back into the country again).
OTOH, other vaxes are not quite that effective but do the job for most people.
IMHO, the COVID vax has not reached that latter rung yet. If you travel somewhere that has a different strain going around, for example, you are not likely protected.
They were all young and healthy and doctors. All were forced to take thab.
All now dead.
I wonder if they were taking something experimental, knowingly or not.
Here, I know many more people who died from COVID and complications
caused by it (lost count) than who died from getting vaccinated (1 &
they had pre-existing condition).
Holding the pharma companies accountable would be a big step in the right direction. Many, many years ago there was a shooting in Louisville.
They shooter was on Prozac. The pharma company somehow settled --
without the judge's knowledge -- so neither they, nor their medication, was held accountable.
They quit prescribing that one to young people (the shooter wasn't young) but that was about it.
There are too many stories like that.

That sounds true. I'm sure that the deadliest covid strains are still out

If it is like most viruses, it will mutate into a form that is less deadly. A live host is a better factory for multiplying and spreading than a dead one.

1. Viruses existing - none had ever been isolated.
2. Microbes making people sick. It was all along the lines of "we found the microbe in sick people, and in well people too, but they must be 'asymptomatic'.)
3. Contagion. The "disease" was not shown to spread via a microbe exposure.
4. A "vaccine" actually working.
This is why they are freaking out over RFK being head of HHS. He will demand proof and when he doesn't get it, he's going to make them prove things or shut their money making machine down.

People who are old enough to remember are damned glad that they never had polio, measles, mumps, etc., because they *knew* people who did, and most of them are damned glad there were vaccines introduced that nearly or completely irradicated those diseases from the US. Those of us not
quite old enough never lived in a world where those diseases were
common. We take for granted that we can "never catch them" and
apparently some of us have become comfortable enough that we question whether or not they even existed.
Alan agreed with me when I said "The polio vaccine is 90% effective at preventing polio." But then he also added "No vaccine prevents disease." The wording is everything. The left words things badly intentionally to promote false narratives.

she was younger than me. (72 is still too early to go!)
As for Janis I did not know either, her system while in New York was the only system not within the Net 267 nodelist, that operates the through
the entire state of NY. As a passing thought I always thought that was odd. She was such a contributor to fidonet and that was more important
to me then having her within the Empire Net of Net 267.
I understand you very well and you're right. I respected very much what Janice accomplished and contributed to the fidonet community. Our politics never aligned but of course that is also no secret.

After she announced that she was taking her BBS down, I contacted her to see if she would sell me her BBBS license (BBBS is a cool BBS software) but she never replied. It seems like that was just a few months ago.
