Has anyone done the math if .5% of the people on earth die in the next 3-5 years?

At the risk of, well, getting involved in this thread, PM shared this:
I did read elsewhere that Goodlett has been meeting with the players for 1-on-1 discussions. In the end, Harsin is running his program his way and he's responsible for the consequences of his decisions, including a possible outbreak and subsequent game forfeit. I don't think that's likely though, thankfully.

--Auburn team doctor Michael Goodlett is a fierce believer in people being vaccinated and has strongly urged Auburn athletes in all sports to get vaccinated.
--The 60 percent figure Harsin gave at Media Days was significantly higher than I had heard a few days earlier. If it is accurate, it represents some progress toward the SEC's 80-percent threshold.

I really don’t like being a dick to people but I have a very real problem with where we are as a society that it has become acceptable behavior to try and bully people into medical procedures and if you don’t capitulate they’ll attack your financial well-being and livelihood as well. The fact that there is even a discussion about the AU coach suggesting that they educate players to make their own health decisions is laughable. People wanting to shout him down or have the AU powers that be come down on him with the wrath of god are the problem, not him.

According to The World Population Clock we are on pace to add some 85 million to global population this year, despite COVID. As it stands, around 50 million people die every year across the globe from all causes.
Plus it is not determined that those 10 million deaths per year over 3-5 years all would not have occurred absent COVID.

Glad we got that settled. How many sheep are there in Ireland? The answer is they are legally passing around HIV without warning!

It seems outrageous that people don’t want to do the right thing by their neighbor by being vaccinated, regardless of your own risk level.
If you hooked up with someone at a bar and found out they gave you syphilis because they didn’t want to get a shot, how would you feel? How about when you asked WTF and they spout off some bullshite about personal choices, civil liberties, and the high survival rate of the illness?
I don’t think that people should be held down and given the shot against their will. They should get it because basic decency dictates that, unless you’re at some elevated risk of complications, you put the well-being of your family and friends ahead of your own. In this case, it’s a no brainer because it is best for all involved.
Same mofos talking about not living in fear when it comes to masks are the ones that are afraid of the shot. WTF do y’all really think the side effects are going to be? Good damn thing Facebook wasn’t around during polio or half the seats in Jordan Hare would have to accessible by ramp.

Says who? The same people that told us we couldn’t go to church last year because of spreading a virus and then stood by silent while thousands gathered to protest and riot? Or the same people who won’t say a peep about people sneaking into our country right now carrying who knows what? ( Actually we do know what they are carrying)
Why aren’t our leaders trying to get our obese and sugar addicted diabetic society to lose weight? I wager that would do far more to protect people from this virus than trying to guilt shame people into a feel good vaccine shot that is more emotionally driven now than anything.
And isn’t it curious how all of this anit-vax shaming quickly ramped up after the government didn’t meet its July 4th vaccination target?
I am proud of Coach for his response.

And I find it outrageous that all of humanity, the whole human race, is being asked to take a vaccine that has not successfully made it out of long range clinical trials.
(hint: long range clinical trials for vaccines take years)
Because quite frankly, even if every a-hole over age 60 (my self included) was to belly up die, it wouldn't warrant this level of risk. Not to a whole species. We as a people wouldn't allow such a universal experiment on honey bee's, pine tree's, a sub-order of fish, or any type of pet. Yet we've allowed politician's to make just such a call for every one walking this planet.

Why are you politicizing this? I’m not saying you should vote Democrat dipshit! I’m saying to pull your head out of Tucker Carlson, or Donald Trump, or your neighbor who sells essential oils and “does her own research”‘s arse long enough to hear what DOCTORS are saying. Everything isn’t left vs right. If Biden wanted to meet his goals, he should’ve just held a press conference and stated that registered Dems would get it before other groups. Overnight there would’ve been a black market for Republicans to get the shot and “own the libs”.
As for all that other stuff? I agree that we should lose weight and consume less sugar collectively. The people telling you to wear masks and not congregate in close quarters prior to the vaccine were medical professionals. Ideally for public health, those rioters would have worn masks, but they must have gotten busy with all the rioting and forgot. They probably jaywalked a bunch too! It would’ve seemed silly to listen to reporters and politicians address it while buildings burned though, wouldn’t it?

I've never known anyone here to be beholden to a political stripe. In fact I think most are realizing that there is really no difference. We have a DC Uniparty. What I reject personally is a political class attepting to determine my own self-interest, when I have a terminal degree and am capable of consuming research. Liberty is the soul's right to breath. And when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdered too tight. Without liberty, man is a syncope.

Whether she is overweight or not is irrelevant to the point. Personally I think she looked and continues to look beautiful.

I don't know what site you've been on but I've been around here for 11 years and this site is very much mostly conservative right and supporters of the Republican party. I have often avoided these type subjects because there's a certain amount of mob type responses to anything that isn't politically right. I guess anything is capable of changing but I haven't gotten the impression that it has.

Do you have school aged children? Because I can tell you all she did was make kids not want to eat lunch at school anymore. And you know what they do now? The lunch is so terrible that they don’t eat the lunch, but they fill up on junk that the schools still sell: chips, ice cream, etc.

This hasn't been our experience, but even if it were we are the adults and we should be taking steps to improve our kids diets. The way the right demonized the efforts to improve our kids school menu's was sickening. Literally people acted like feeding our kids garbage was the better option.
