Your analysis is cherry picked because you start with the survivors. Sure, once we discount the weak who died already, the survivors are doing better.

I wouldn't have to look twice to see you're not Berz - but Galactus is washed out in the lighting effects again. Check the retouch I just posted; I think it has a touch of Simonson, and it's not overwhelmed by one color...

I'm satisfied.
It was just purple on purple before, with energy highlights, same as Berz' storm. Galactus stands out as Galactus now, and I fixed the skin around his mouth to not wash out w/ more purple anymore.

They haven't so far... Pfizer lost the battle with Mother Nature, there is a difference between the protection - covid survivors do better than the vaccinated. Large studies from California, NY and Israel all showed natural immunity was better. I was comparing largely unvaccinated places where covid already spread with places that relied on vaccines and lockdowns. Seems logical to me the former is better protected than the latter based on the evidence.
If your claim is that unvaccinated COVID survivors are less likely to catch COVID than vaccinated people, then that's tautologically false: all COVID survivors have already had COVID.
If your point is that it's good that the people who died are better off dead because it "improves the gene pool", then **** off you nazi piece of ****.Indifference is Bliss

did you know Obama, Trump and Biden were arming Nazis in Ukraine?
yeah
You brought up "natural" antibodies being "better" than vaccines (hint: both getting infected and getting vaccinated produce the same types of antibodies, both produced by the body, so both are natural; this was my glass/slurp water analogy, but it seems that I was not very clear with it). While most of the people who died are not of reproductive age, a lot still were, and some were also children, and in all cases I think it's bad that they died if getting vaccinated could have saved them.
I'm still not sure what your point is, unless it is that the best way to avoid getting seriously sick or dying from COVID is to get sick with COVID and surviving in good health.
Obama and Trump didn't send weapons to Ukraine, Biden only did when Russian invasion was certain, and they gave them to the Ukrainian government. Some paramilitary groups in Ukraine are Nazis, and got supplied with those weapons, yes. A lot of Russians are also Nazis (like the Wagner group), and the two best things Nazis can do is dying and killing other Nazis (that in sound so they defend the lives of regular people is a great plus). War criminals are pretty much on the same level as Nazis. So, all in all, I see the US sending weapons to Ukraine as a good decision.Indifference is Bliss

Yes, the studies exist and I'm citing them. I didn't bring up natural antibodies, I said covid survivors have better responses than vaccinated people because their natural immunity is superior to the vaccine. Hint, the reason why the vaccination does better in people who survived covid is because they survived covid. People who got just the vaccine dont, they do worse.
We've been sending weapons to Ukraine for 8 years. The Democrats in Congress led by John Conyers tried to cut the Ukrainian Nazis (Azov) out of our arms shipments but the Pentagon intervened. The Dems are okay with killing eastern Ukrainians, they just dont want our killers to be Nazis. Ukraine was a shipping point for weapons destined for Syrian terrorists too.
Yeah, we were arming ISIS and Obama called them 'moderate rebels'. The US ambassador and a few soldiers were killed in Benghazi facilitating arms shipments from Libyan stockpiles to Syria as well.
So you're complaining about Nazis but support arming them to kill eastern Ukrainians. Dont look down, your moral high ground is sinking into quicksand.

There were definitely weapons sent. But, most of the money was for things other than weapons (like radars and training). However, there were millions of $USD in credits that Ukraine could use to buy weapons from US suppliers (subject to export controls).“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

Given that Russia's official policies these days are at minimum authoritarian (with a tendency towards totalitarian) Ukraine - while certainly not being perfect - is surely the more open, democratic country in comparison to Russia.
Ergo, your constant "they supported the Nazis" is at best uninformed nonsense, at worst deliberately distorting what actually happened.Blah

But Zelensky is a Jew! Zelensky serves them. He knows (and we know) he'd be assassinated just like the Ukrainian peace negotiator they killed. Prospects for peace dont look good when one side is killing their own negotiators. Several weeks before the coup Victoria Nuland picked Ukraine's next leader from 3 options, the guy she chose, a Nazi named Tahtynook (?), and the boxer Klitchko. She said the latter 2 need to be working for the new PM as a team from the outside.
The people of Ukraine wanted to end the war in the Donbas. Zelensky ran on ending that war and he got 74% of the vote... and the war in the Donbas kept right on going. The US wanted that war and so did the Ukrainian right wing, thats why instead of trying to broker peace we've been shipping guns and cash to Nazis. Dont be surprised, we were arming ISIS in Syria at the same time.

Several Nazi leaders got high appointments in the new govt and the right wing in that country controls thru coercion.

How do you know the CIA wasn't trying to support the coup, the Nazis were trying to push the coup, and lots of assorted malcontents were also trying to push the coup?
I hate how you find evidence of these separate things and run with a vast implausible narritive with it.
Specifically what backs up your vast narrative of effective US control of a large foreign country using foreign Nazi agents? What possible good does a Ukrainian civil war do for the US? Do you think the frozen conflicts all around Russia have been instigated by the US? How has that been good for the US? Funny how Russia's neighbors find themselves hosting frozen conflicts whenever they have displeased Moscow.
The problem is that the mainstream interpretation fits all of these same facts and is vastly more plausible.
