Someone is triggered.

Bring up underage women and he is vivacious and animated.

Read up and learn, Stupid. You cowards are to blame for this. You've destroyed an entire generation. You've killed more children and adults 45 and under, than covid. You are the danger to America. You are the real threat. YOU.


Oh, and the CDC has now said, children need to stay in school, even after being exposed to covid, because quarantine is more damaging to them than the virus. Yes, they are finally telling you what I've said for months. You've killed children.

Here is a very telling statement in the CNBC article


"The study likely underrepresents the real number of suspected suicide attempts because Americans were hesitant to go to hospitals during the pandemic, in fear of contracting Covid-19."

The numbers were even worse if you look at just girls

God, I wish you'd learn to read data. Suicide was the number 2 cause of death for 18 to 45. The number one cause of death was fentanyl, stupid, covid was a distant 3rd.



Now, that's from 18 to 45. But you still keep trying to cherry pick the data you want to make yourself feel safe. The American pediatric psychiatric association has been very open about rise in mental health issues in children due to the pandemic policies. But you don't care about the actual truth.

Affy keeps ranting about child suicides, so I thought I might post some facts.

From 2009 until 2019, deaths per 100,000 population, ages 15-24:


That reads:

2009: 10
2010: 10.5
2011: 11
2012: 11.1
2013: 11.1
2014: 11.6
2015: 12.5
2016: 13.2
2017: 14.5
2018: 14.5
2019: 13.9

Their chart doesn't show 2020. As far as I can tell, the CDC only released 2020 data on November 2021:


Page 8 of this chart shows a rate of 14.2 for 2020... 5,958 suicides in 2019, 6,050 in 2020. So slightly higher than 2019, but lower than 2017 and 2018.

The same chart shows that suicides decreased significantly for all age groups 35 and older.

The CDC won't post statistics for 2021 until next year.
