{quote} Hi mntiwana - I have replied but unable to help.
{quote} I admire your opposition to alco + tobacco. I am 100% with you on that but tying it to Covid is not going to work. You need to fight alco + tobacco on their own terms. If you continue to say we should just let Covid run free because we let alco + tobacco run free, then you are going to lose support from rational people and be considered a wacko who doesn't distinguish one society's problem from another. Good luck on your plight.
But we have 10 x bigger problems and nobody cares and this is insanity.
And if I point to real problems then people tell me that I am stupid conspiracy theorist
and go and smoke relaxing cigarette. And then I point out that tobacco industry kill
50 % of they most of they loyal long term clients, they say we don't care and I must wear a mask.
" ... lose support from rational people ... " 1st I don't care
2nd you know it yourself people are not rational , people are emotional.
COVID mass psychosis is ruling that the world already a year.

Here are the 12 causes of most deaths in the USA in order of magnitude.
The list is outdated and doesn't include Covid death.
Approximately 500K+ died of Covid within a year.
That puts Covid at #3 or so.
None of these 12 causes can be prevented or cured by putting on a mask or receiving a vaccine (although attempts have been made at vaccines for Influenza)
To say that the government should eliminate alcohol problems and smoking death problems before attempting to eliminate Covid is absurd, but again, you say that you find your own news based on your research. So, maybe post some links, so we can examine the rationale behind your priority of treatment for the causes of these death and why Covid should take a backseat to these other causes.

and they know it at least 50 years and shoud have already banned since 1960.
I am not saying that alco + tobacco ban saves from COVID deaths.
I am saying banning alco + tobacco will wave 25 % of people.
and its appox 5 times more than covid deaths.
I am also some what inform about US situation.
also you can study CDC website, masks are not effective against covid.
Very good book I highly recommend to every person.

Number one killer is actually bad diet.
Main reason of Heart disease are high blood pressure ( to salty food ), bad cholesterol ( bad fats in food ) and quess what, also smoking
Diabetes for overweigh and obesity. Reason lot of sugar and excessive eating.
Yes some might be inheritable but big part up to people.
If it up to me I also would ban junk food chain restaurants

There are 2 types of people: those that thinks that a single-celled protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins and minerals is all the body needs, and those that thinks that it doesn't have everything the body needs.
edit: found a link I was looking for that might interest a few around here about cause of death:

(note: I have no idea how "correct" the study is, I haven't explored it in details, just providing as a matter of interest)
