How the media gaslights people on #COVID19:

In one article, it says, “The uptick of cases likely isn’t cause for alarm, though: most Covid cases are mild” and then buries this quote from an epidemiologist: “Covid is likely to remain in the leading causes of death in the United States for the foreseeable future.”

If a leading cause of death can be easily prevented with simple mitigations, then how is ANY uptick in cases not a reason for concern?

@augieray @glennf I believe deaths are heavily skewed towards the unvaccinated elderly. If you’ve received all yours boosters, your chances of living are really, really good.

@DrSportello @glennf You VERY much miss the point of the risks of COVID. It is not about death. It hasn't been about mortality for two years. Now, it's about Long COVID, disabilities, and long-term risks like diabetes, cardiovascular damage and perhaps even cancer. It is important people of all ages try to avoid repeated infection.
