    Hello,

    What do you think ?

    It seems quite important on a symbolic level.

    Actually, you can thank the antivaxxers. Covid has killed a great many people who refused to get vaccinated.

    Covid has killed a great deal of vaxxers as well as the 500k plus dead directly due to the vax itself in accordance with Brittish medical journals since the USA will not allow vaxxed deaths to be reported.

    In regards to China, I wouldn't take Chinese statistics seriously being they don't consider taking the majority which in rural living villages into their records in regards to validity of overall population statistics.

    I have to agree, it's unclear if they are actually reporting the full scope of the statistics. It's benefits the CCP to fudge the numbers in favor of appearance and they will do it as no one can dissent.

    The US was dropping yearly against other nations due to our for profit health care system, lack of access and a failure of education in deep red states.

    If it makes you feel better to blame either of those things though, you do you.

    I think that China eating properly cooked grasshoppers, crickets, snakes, dogs, rats and plenty of vegetables is healthier than Americans eating junk food & cancer-provoking genetically modified non-food.

    These sorts of comments make little sense and are strictly politically biased.

    Life expectancy and infant mortality in the United States of America has lagged behind that of most other modern democracies for a number of years. Other democracies spend more of their 'health' dollars on preventive measures such as social welfare than does the United States. The statistics tell the story.

    That China may have surpassed the US in these statistics is interesting, but the information does nothing to move the US needle.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n remember the Big 5.

    Hard to believe given the CCP lies on ALL of its data. They literally hide millions of covid deaths, claimed they never happened, and began mass cremation of bodies.

    So never believe any figures from the CCP.

    I am vaccinated (three times) and it still didn't prevent me from getting covid. Also the heart damage caused by the spike proteins in the vaccines has caused a huge number of excess deaths especially in males under 30.

    You're repeating disinformation that you believe because it became a pseudo-partisan issue. The vaccines do not cause harm anywhere nearly as much as the live virus does, all told.

    How serious was your covid infection? Were you hospitalized like so many unvaccinated? Not that your personal anecdote really means much, considering it's all a question of large numbers (statistics).

    No, you are just ignorant and think true facts are disinformation. The reality is you badly need to educate yourself on this issue because you are completely wrong.

    No, I just know how to separate lies from unknown and untrustworthy internet sources from valid information and sources.

    I suppose you imagine that doctors here and all over the world are conspiring to harm people as well? Face it -- you're repeating Russian disinformation that has been successful at getting Americans to get themselves hurt and killed by this virus. You've been fooled. I know it hurts, but you have to get over it.

    What you've described is exactly what I am talking about: "They are lying" for the purpose you have just explained, "when the truth is in the air". That's what I'm talking about.

    America has been on the path to Third Worldism.


    For those who don't know, China is no "First World". It's more like a "Second World", in so many ways.


    If you look on a graph, it's probable that the U.S. will soon overtake China again, but then that China seems poised to permanently overtake the U.S. in life expectancy by 2029, six or seven years from now.
