  1. 2 tenths of one percent death rate. Take the number of deaths and divide by the 6,800,000 population. If you understand math you won’t understand these constant idiotic lock downs.

    1. There have been no lockdowns in Indiana in well over a year…and what we had last year could barely be called lockdowns, anyway. And, seriously…do you really not care at all about 17,000 deaths? I personally know of two young Indiana children in Fishers who are now growing up without their parents, thanks to COVID (and I know there are many others).

    2. John only cares about deaths if it involves himself or his own. 17,000 deaths (close to Gainbridge Fieldhouse capacity) John didn’t know them, so it’s insignificant.

  2. Shame on the IBJ for participating in this colossal propaganda campaign. No such thing as true journalism at this time in history…facts no longer matter, only agendas.

    1. What the IBJ is reporting above appears to be only facts. How you interpret these facts is when it becomes propaganda. I see no interpretation inferred.

  3. No. Take the cumulative positive test rate of 24.3% times the 4,532,943 unique individuals tested. That’s 1,101,505 positives/cases. 17,033 deaths divided by 1,101,505 equals 1.55% death rate.

    Plus…what lockdown? We don’t have one in Indiana. Schools are back, stores and restaurants are open.

    1. Your math isn’t the correct formula because you cannot measure the true rate of infection. It’s recognized to be much higher than the 1.1m you reference.

  4. cases don’t matter????!!!! we are going to get it. Catching smoke with a butterfly net. or have already had it. We are already seeing one variant crush the numbers of the last one. Chicken Little. I am in the danger zone, and I still want everyone to live their lives. This is never going to end. It is here. I want to live. YOU can hunker down. I won’t. What is your issue? Afraid to die? Afraid to live?

    1. What is your issue? There are no lockdowns or capacity restrictions anywhere in America. People are out living their lives. Are you stuck in early 2020?

  5. If you are vaccinated, who cares about the ones that aren’t?! Our choice.

    The real question is how many new cases are from the vaccinated. That is the stat Fauci, The CDC, and the WHO don’t want you to know. There is no trust in any governmental data. Period.

    1. Exactly. The numbers the CDC and WHO count only support the agenda. Don’t mind the thousands that have died FROM the vaccination. Someone explain all the cardiac arrest and heart failures from forced vaccinated athletes??? Why isn’t that on the news? Why isn’t the truth being told about VAERS and THOSE numbers being published.

      Yes, Covid 19 is deadly. So is influenza, so are any number of diseases with far higher mortality rates.

    2. Two responses here. First, those of us who are vaccinated and boosted are STILL impacted by the unvaccinated. Why? Because the unvaccinated make it much more likely that a new variant will develop that will evade the vaccine. Your selfish behavior does affect us all, not just you. Plus, when the unvaccinated get sick and go to the ICU, we all share in covering the medical bills through insurance plans and government-paid care. Yes, your choice DOES affect us all.

      Second, to R.R.: The IBJ really ought to just remove this comment due to a horrific and dangerous piece of misinformation it includes: “Don’t mind the thousands that have died FROM the vaccination.” This is pure fiction circulated on right-wing propaganda sites and via Russian social media manipulation. There are NOT thousands of deaths from the vaccination. This is absolutely false. This is pure FICTION, and this kind of intentional misinformation is literally killing people by steering them clear of vaccinations that would have saved their lives. IBJ… your comment forum is spreading deadly misinformation… please police it.

    3. Exactly correct Ryan H.

      Steve D. – your first statement ” unvaccinated make it much more likely that a new variant will develop that will evade the vaccine” is scientifically false. It’s clear you don’t understand how viruses mutate. The following sentence applies to obesity, alcohol/drug abuse, elderly care, etc. which shows your segregation bias on political agenda in healthcare. And lastly, there is strong data in VAERS and local healthcare system track affirmatively supporting the high adverse event and even deaths as a function of these vaccinations.

      Lastly, “COVID Cases Are Surging in the Five Most Vaccinated States” as reported 11/25/21 by Newsweek which is very much expected given what we know in healthcare regarding coronaviruses historically and the reverse approach applied by a new politically driven government healthcare agenda.

  6. RR, thousands of people are not dying from the vaccine. There have been very few deaths directly attributed to the vaccine out of billions of people who have been vaccinated.
