The coronavirus pandemic killer of millions and millions has been canceled for lack of deaths. From Greg Piper at thecollegefix.com:
Early data suggest it’s ‘another disease with a profile dependent on inequalities’
Are you under 65 and have no “underlying predisposing conditions” for COVID-19 complications?
Then don’t worry about the novel coronavirus, even if you live in a “hotbed” of infection.
Stanford University epidemiologist John Ioannidis (above), who blew the whistle on the bad data being used to justify coronavirus crackdowns on daily life, has new research with his colleagues at Stanford Medical School. Their specialties also include “meta-research” and women’s and children’s health.
The preprint study in Medrxiv, which has not been peer-reviewed, sought to evaluate the risk of COVID-19 to people under 65 years of age relative to older people, estimate the “absolute risk” of death from infection “at the population level,” and discern what proportion of deaths “occur in non-elderly people without underlying diseases in epicenters of the pandemic.”
The authors scold the media for seizing on “stories of young healthy individuals with severe, fatal outcomes” from infection: “However, the majority of patients dying with SARS-CoV-2 are elderly and the large majority of the deceased may have severe underlying diseases. Exaggeration should be avoided in responding to the pandemic.”
