I find it very interesting and what can be conferred from it. those with higher incomes have a different view of society. More likely to be part of the unconscious masses who believe what they are told without question. You’ve gotta ask whether their view of reality is mostly illusion. These are people who are our lawyers and judges so does their illusory view of reality spill over into how they do their job. From my experience it does. They are trained to believe experts and in this day and age that can be a very dangerous endeavour as the expert class of society have a twisted view of reality. Maybe this is how the meek inherit the earth. The lower class are much more aware of the realities of life in society and the dangers that need to be watched for

Thank you! I have often wondered this. I live in Marin County, California. We have 93% Vax rate and are also one of the healthiest counties in the nation. Our Public Health Director always brags that the Vax has kept us out of trouble, but I've often asked if it's actually because we were such a healthy population to begin with. Ironic that this GMOFree and Organic County all happily rolled up their sleeves - and their kids. Mind boggling.

Yep. Marin County has median household income of 112K, life expectancy of 85, only 10% smokers, 13% physically inactive, and 18% obese. Not surprising if y'all fared COVID pretty well.

It seems we have been on a parallel study mission these past few months.

Good work. Cheers.

I plan to add some of your charts to this thread, and I'm summarizing a lot of my research from the past several months into a single HUB article soon.

The same can be said for the flu shot as well.

will use this...people still say "it would have been so much worse!" They can't know this! There would have to be two of them! And USA Today put out an article recently that said this...it's why you got SICK idiot!! snh

We can absolutely say "would have been worse" by comparing counties that did and did not, on average, accept vaccines and boosters. Counties in which more people are vaccinated and boosted have better covid survival rates than those that don't. This is not in question.

The point of this article seems to be, "Sure, healthy and successful people have better covid outcomes, but it's bc they take the vaccine, it's because they earn more and take better care of their health." And the inference is supposed to be that all those healthy and successful people are the dumb ones. Their lives are better in important ways because of their behavioral choices, but other people should not emulate them but rather should make the opposite choice when it comes to vaccination.

Is it possible the more active, less obese, higher earners who don't smoke and live longer have figured things out pretty well, and we might do well to adopt their practices? Or is the idea that they make intelligent choices related to their health which prolong their lives, and are valuable employees, suggesting they live more comfortably, and therefore we should make sure *not* to make the same choices as them? Is the takeaway that we should use the rural people, whose death rates are 20% higher and whose incomes are typically lower, as our role models when it comes to decision making?

This helps, but there was no way I was going to put something in me that has "RNA" in it.. Um, that is the "tape" that replicates DNA.. Oh,that is right, all the doctors forgot that. What the hell could go wrong there? Interesting analysis and it explains some things.. but not all the sudden deaths.

Many of the unvaxxed just research more or are not brainwashed. Many healthcare workers saw with our own eyes the many disabilities and deaths in 2021 after the shot rollout. That includes a very affluent area in Michigan. Highly educated and wealthy. So many injuries and deaths. Had to leave "healthcare".

My brother and sister-in-law are prime examples of this. They are super strict with what they let their kids eat, how much screen time they allow, etc and yet, the jabbed their kids at the first chance they got to “do their parts.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Great analysis, well done!

That has always been my question from very early on: how could so many supposedly ‘brilliant’ people buy hook, line and sinker into the vax narrative?

FEAR proved to be a most powerful manipulator!

Fear and class inclusion/exclusion dynamics. The worst would be to seen as an “other”. The white collar expert and laptop class, of which I’m a member (economically), puts a very high value on the status and wealth they have gained. Too high. Second, this class is imbued with implicit progressive myths of its superior knowledge, which they mistake for wisdom.

The powers that be aren't interested in finding out because the agenda driving this is not the public health. We don't need RCT's to know when the government is lying to the public.

The health conscious are also more afraid of dying. More the reason they pushed and shoved to get to the front of the line to get jabbed and boosted. Wonder what they are afraid of?

Yes, I have these people in my family. So very liberal, so very intelligent…….Way smarter than me. Uh huh🥴

Even if the vax were useless, it could have a placebo effect. There is a big mental component to seeking medical help for respiratory infections. Unvaxxed were told to expect severe illness. Vaxxed were told that COVID would be minor.

While I understand the left hand graphs, what is the difference between the right and left? I wish this was explained in the stack.

My bad. The left side is the "regular" booster %, i.e. the 3rd shot for most folks. The right side is the bivalent (i.e. omicron) booster.
