Hinderaker was disastrously wrong about US COVID-19 mortality levels, by over 20 fold. [Churlishly, he seeks refuge in comparative data between flu cases and COVID-19 ones, to hide the fact that he said the dying was mostly over by July of 3020.]
Despite his lies, though tonight — here are the facts, from the same study he is claiming vindicates his feckless exhortations of 2020 to 2021. The point of the study he falsely claims vindicates him… is that both flu and COVID patients experience dangerous death risks, once admitted to a hospital, so the goal is to AVOID hospitalization — by… (shocker!)… vaccinations, and in pandemics… social isolation if immune-compromised.
Damn, son — you are a chump. Here it is, in context:
…Although rates of death and adverse health outcomes following hospital admission for either seasonal influenza or COVID-19 are high, this comparative analysis shows that hospital admission for COVID-19 was associated with higher long-term risks of death and adverse health outcomes in nearly every organ system (except for the pulmonary system) and significant cumulative excess DALYs than hospital admission for seasonal influenza.
The substantial cumulative burden of health loss in both groups calls for greater prevention of hospital admission for these two viruses and for greater attention to the care needs of people with long-term health effects due to either seasonal influenza or SARS-CoV-2 infection….
Yes, John — you should still put an f-ing sock in it — as you are no epidemiologist — and no bio-scientist, at all.
Your malign advice got more than a few elderly people killed in 2020-21, with your narcissism.
Face it.
[And as a med-related footnote, Hinderaker also wrote some dumb sh!t tonight — citing hard right British “news” rags. I won’t link it… as it is utterly… insipid.]
Out.
