  • CDC Director: 75% of COVID deaths occurred in people with at least four comorbidities
    On Good Morning America, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted that over 75% of “COVID deaths” occurred in people “who had at least four comorbidities. So really, these are people who are unwell to begin with.”

    --- Somehow, I told you so just doesn't seem to cut it. I especially the appreciate the people that wished death upon me.
