A Gallup poll released this week found that Americans, by in large, overestimate COVID-19 hospitalization or death rates.
Survey results suggest “most Americans overstate the risk of hospitalization” for both unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals. Some 92 percent “overstate the risk that unvaccinated people will be hospitalized” while 62 percent overstated the risk for vaccinated individuals, Gallup said in a blog post.
The poll found that 41 percent of registered Democrats believe there is a 50 percent chance that an unvaccinated individual will go the hospital for COVID-19, whereas 21 percent of Republicans and 26 percent of independents believe the same.

To quote President Trump - "it's a hoax." Yes there was a flu, there is every year, thousands die from it. However, 98% survive covid and 99% survive the Delta variant. So yeah, I'd say the number who died from it are way over rated.

Many nations are asking their news media top stop the covid porn. It's over done and it isn't helpful - more thing the dims won't be able to rely on for the 2022 elections - the people are too afraid to go to the polls bs won't fly in another 13 months.

Here is proof positive that registered Democrats are stupid, particularly those who listen to Fauci and CNN.

I just returned from the local pharmacy where a woman was nearly hysterical that she'd missed her jab appointment and had to reschedule. As I was leaving, a family of five was lining up to the guinea pigs in this large scale clinical trial. COVID porn works with some.

#1, we need to stop calling it a hoax, because it's a real virus that's killing people, and making many more very sick.
Need to simply point out how the media has mislead people by ignoring actual information, and helping people facts instead of their hyperbole.
Also point out how democrats took advantage of the situation to create a crisis which they wanted to exploit for partisan gains, at YOUR expense.

Read only the disinformation and you wind up with false information......exactly as they intended.
But, mistrust the Enemedia, and seek alternate sources, and compare against facts that you can verify, and you can be well informed, even in times when huge swaths of the "media" intentionally are lying.

What I really like are the shrieking "Over 90% of the people in the hospital haven't had the Covid vaccine !!!" Aaaaghhhhh !!!
And then they're asked "How many people in the hospital are being treated for Covid?"

Americans don't overestimate, Democrat's do. Everyone knows the Democrats are trying to drag this out as long as possible.

The city of Chicago has 43 major hospitals. As of last week Chicago had 29 people in the hospital with Covid. "With Covid"...are they hospitalized because they have a bad case of Covid. or, did they test positive when they were admitted for other reasons? Not reported.
Obviously, Covid, the illness, should be taken seriously, but, did so many die in the early days because they were stuck on ventilators? After the news in April or May, that doctors in France had good results with the Hydroxychloroqiune, Zinc, Z-Pack / Doxycycline why was there such hysteria? I know Trump mentioned it, but how could doctors in good conscience have gone along with the banning of the protocol by state governors of all people? Doctors know these drugs, they know they have little to no side effects. They were taking them themselves as prophylactics. Where was the harm in trying them out? How many people died that wouldn't as a result? Why did five governors out of fifty pack the nursing homes? Why did they double down against the criticisms?
Something more is going on here. Was the pandemic just a serendipitous occurrence for the democrats to exploit? Then came George Floyd. Maybe they were waiting for something similar to Ferguson? That happened in August of 2014 just ahead of the midterm elections. Did they decide it was time to give it everything they had after Floyd?
It's been non-stop ever since.
We haven't seen my husbands family since Christmas Eve 2019. My SIL informed me yesterday that they will not come to our house for Thanksgiving and all are invited to there house for Christmas, except for my husband and me because were are not vaccinated. They are all fully vaccinated. (We are, at present healthy and I can't see how we endanger them) We do not want it because all three of these "vaccines" are tainted by abortion. I am not willing to protect myself at the expense of an innocent little girl who was bought and paid for with the sole purpose of vivisection and experimentation.
This whole pandemic has been so blown up and distorted. Why is Fauci still the only authority? What happened to Dr. Birks? She did defend Trump on several occasions so that may be the reason she has been shunned.

#11, all well said, but you swerved a bit at "not willing to protect myself at the expense of...."
I understand the moral dilemma component, but The Shot doesn't actually provide protection from the virus as you seem to assume in the above sentence. And, it has killed a minimum of 15,000 people, maimed hundreds of thousands.
So, on top of the moral dilemma, you have the personal risk vs reward calculation to make. I can't and won't attempt to make it for anyone else, but, personally, I am more afraid of the dangers of the "vaccination" than I am of the dangers of the virus.
Clearly, huge numbers are very willing to get The Shot. My wife and I are not.
I haven't seen my sister in two years, and she's a full believer in the vaccination thing. I don't bother to even attempt to dissuade her, she has made her choice. I have no idea whether we'll be welcome in her home this Thanksgiving or not. We had gathered there as several generations of family for years, since the previous generation all died off. Part of the family is against The Shot, part is for. I hope it doesn't divide us.
