Definitional breakdown: It's not just the New England Journal of Medicine, which thinks 18 and 19 year olds are children (for political reasons)

 Now The New York Post thinks 62 year olds are "elderly".

Before it was just Obama and Democrats who infamously and routinely seemed not to know the size, proportion, and meaning of things (when life starts was above his pay grade, 57 states, hundreds of millions getting Obamacare, 200 million dead from COVID-19, et cetera).

Now everyone is getting into the act.

Life expectancy in the US is about 77 years old. You are elderly when you are near that or exceed it.

 

 

 

Federal law prohibits FFLs from engaging in handgun commerce with anyone under 21 and longgun commerce with anyone under 18. Meanwhile 18 year olds can vote, be tried as adults, sign contracts, and get drafted to have their asses shot off in wars, and fry in the electric chair for shooting up schools. Let's have some of that, shall we?

And just in case you were wondering, a woman is still an adult human female, at least until it becomes Wokepedia.

 

The lying sacks of shit at the New England Journal of Medicine inflate gun deaths among children by counting 18 and 19 year olds among the children

 The previous analysis, which examined data through 2016, showed that firearm-related injuries were second only to motor vehicle crashes (both traffic-related and nontraffic-related) as the leading cause of death among children and adolescents, defined as persons 1 to 19 years of age.

More.

Leave it to the professional liars in the medical establishment to do this sort of thing, adding to their well-deserved tarnish earned during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Measure it properly as persons 1 to 17 years of age and this is what you get, below (Motor Vehicle deaths still number one by far and drownings and firearm homicides way back running neck-and-neck for number two).

And even more importantly, compared with 1981-1998, firearm homicides among children are DOWN by 12%, firearm suicides among children are DOWN by 15%, and accidental firearm deaths among children don't even make the top ten any more (Motor Vehicle deaths also were down 34%, drownings down 25%, deaths by fire or burning down 56%, accidental suffocation deaths down 16%, and pedestrian and other land transportation deaths down 6%).

Suicides among children by suffocation were up from 5,085 to 12,890, a whopping 153%, perhaps due in part to mandatory gun locks causing a change in choice of method. Combined firearm and suffocation suicides among children still rose significantly, however, from 17,968 to 23,824 or 33%.

We won't speculate on the prominent role models trailblazing the way for this horrible new trend, like Robin Williams who hung himself in 2014.

You can do that for yourself.

 

LOL, Anthony Fauci's name now appears third on a paper at the New England Journal of Medicine which says 'Vaccination has also been unable to prevent “breakthrough” infections, allowing subsequent transmission to other people'

 Here.

 

What idiot blames waning vaccine effectiveness on the bad behavior of vaccinated people?

 The Qatar study people, apparently:

The vaccine's weakening protection may be due to people's behavior, the study authors noted.

"Vaccinated persons presumably have a higher rate of social contact than unvaccinated persons and may also have lower adherence to safety measures," they wrote. "This behavior could reduce real-world effectiveness of the vaccine as compared with its biologic effectiveness, possibly explaining the waning of protection."

The studies were published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

 

Like my tetanus shot wanes in effectiveness because I went on a bender last weekend.

 

If the damn thing works, it works. Pfizer's vaccine clearly isn't a vaccine.

 

A golden opportunity to blame SPREAD on bad behavior wildly missed.
