Today Americans 65 and over account for 90 percent of new Covid deaths

I never heard anyone say that. Perhaps you can find the quotes for whomever you think said it. I do know that the leader of the GQP, donald trump told his minions they should get vaccinated.
It simply is true.
My sister works at a school; they didn't have enough teachers healthy to hold in person classes during those days. Quit pretending these things didn't happen.
They happened.
Nope
Supply chains were disrupted worldwide. Irrespective of anything "we did" in America.
All of us will die at some point. However, many just stopped living for a year or two because they were afraid of dying. My experience is that none of us knows when or where we will die, so being reasonable about risk while living life fully is the better path. Expecting others to forego living their lives so I can hang on a little longer is the height of being selfish, imo.
Biden's positive test comes exactly one year to the day when he assured the American public that if you were vaccinated, you wouldn't get the virus. He said this in Ohio during a town hall about the pandemic hosted by CNN's Don Lemon.

You must have missed Biden saying this since your head is so far up your ass
As covid becomes less deadly, the deaths will naturally skew - percentage wise - toward the elderly. But it isn't that covid is now more lethal to those 65 and older, it's that it's now much less deadly to those below 65 years old.
Where's the f**king quotes, dickface? You should just GFY, since it's highly unlikely anyone else, even other maga scum, will.
Since everything they predicted was wrong, they need to try to rewrite history.
It NOW a pandemic of the old? It has been from the start. The overwhelming majority of Covid deaths are the old and the fat. Diet, exercise and vaccination of the vulnerable is the key. Lockdowns and vaccine mandates for all were a clear failure on the part of government.

Evidently @Finance85 is much brighter than you, but then anyone with a brain is.
I'm not the guy to ask but if I were involved, I'd certainly want to look at nursing homes and retirement communities. Are we doing anything special to equip or otherwise help in those arenas? If not - and I'm guessing not, but could be wrong - then we should, don't you think?
Are there jobs where more old folks work?
If old folks are more likely to end up in hospitals, we should probably make sure hospitals are particularly well-equipped to handle them. Maybe they already are but, again, I suspect not.
How about community outreach for older folks who aren't in nursing homes, retirement communities, or hospitals?
Are we putting our resources where they are needed? I like to think that good government looks out for all the people. But that doesn't mean treating everybody the same. If people of color are more subject to racist violence, we should probably put more resources there. If school kids are more likely to contract measles, we should put more resources there. If accidents happen more on a particular stretch of road, put more resources there. If the elderly are more likely to die of COVID, put more resources there.
What would you do?
Really? You thought he was saying it didn't used to kill old folks? Even someone who never read the article shouldn't be that stupid.
So asking others to help protect the elderly against a deadly disease is going too far?
Got it.

Maybe once a person turns 65, they have no more physical contact with anyone. That should help solve this conundrum.
Since everyone over 65 is eligible for Medicare, how about using that free annual checkup allowed by Obamacare to do comprehensive blood tests to make sure older people have normal levels of vitamins and minerals in their blood. Take that moment to try to get older people more healthy. Educate them on signs of infection and newer treatment options. Educate them on newer vaccine alternatives.
Vaccines don’t make folks less likely to get the virus, it doesn’t prevent one from spreading it simply lessens the symptoms for those that are vaccinated. Forcing children to get vaccinated if they wanted to go to school doesn’t make sense, firing people from their jobs and kicking over 8,000 armed servicemen and women out of the military for not waning to get vaccinated doesn’t make sense. Hence, all those mandates have all been repealed because they were wrong in the first place. Me getting vaccinated or not doesn’t affect anyones health but mine.
I know people (and live through marriage with one) that work in healthcare, nursing homes, in home care, and around the elderly. So much of what you're asking for is in place. Like bigly. TONS of outreach to patients and members in nursing homes and retirement communities. Masking and dedicated covid beds / equipment / procedures still around in hospitals. TONS of education and outreach to employees in both settings. TONS of modified procedures, methods, and processes (+the cost of equipment to support them) to limit exposure. We have and are continuing to spend millions upon millions of dollars to try to support and educate the elderly and millions of man hours to enable the people working around and caring for them.
The elderly will always be a vulnerable population. I've never seen the institutions and the people around them do more to protect them than what has and continues to be done with Covid. And you can't forget that there are a decent percentage of elderly ignoring or outright mocking these mitigation activities - so they're not helping with the death count.
Add it all up, and I personally think we've done / we're doing enough. If someone's that scared of it and or dying - there is a formula to protect them that we've all got beat into our heads. Get vaccinated to limit the impact of catching covid (because you will catch it), limit exposure to at risk situations, wear an H95 mask correctly when in crowded situations, social distance, etc.

Uh....there currently ARE no "vaccine alternatives". There are DIFFERENT vaccines available, and ONLY mRNA vaccines available which were designed against current variants.
Medicines developed against original Covid no longer work well against the current variants. Inclusive of monoclonal antibodies
If you're referring to "HCQ" and "Ivermectin", neither EVER worked against Covid.
It does not "eliminate" the possibility of spreading it.
It DOES lower the likelihood of spreading it, for various reasons, including shorter sickness durations, lower viral loads, and in some cases, antibodies being already attached to viral particles expelled.
I.E.: It LOWERS the R0 of the virus for those vaccinated.
You're a piece of work. Get up to date you miserable geezer.
Novavax
Paxlovid & Remdesivir.
These may not be as effective against the newest Covid strains.
Novavax is just another vaccine (which you claim "don't work"). It is also one that is NOT designed against Omicron strains like the mRNA offerings from Pfizer and Moderna are.
The others have not yet been studied against Omicron - ALL of the studies available were performed before those variants emerged.

Maybe you should check the CDC website. That's what I checked before I posted.These may not be as effective against the newest Covid strains.

The CDC website says the exact same thing; there aren't any formal studies on how those drugs are holding up against the new variants.
And I'm sure it likewise states that the mRNA vaccines are the ONLY ones that are targeted to the new variants.
If you don’t wear a mask and only follow the arrows on the aisles in the grocery store you want to kill grandma right?
Firing HCWs during the height of a pandemic doesn’t make much sense either. Rule number 1: during a deadly pandemic firing overworked and understaffed healthcare workers doesn’t make sense. So let’s do it!!!!
Remdesivir is straight poison. I think the U Of Iowa actual scientists said that.
No studies huh? Maybe one of these days the experts and scientists will actually do some of that science shit instead of just crying like babies.
Paxlovid is a good example of a treatment that could be especially helpful for the elderly. So it would make sense to make sure it's readily available.
Technically, if I test positive at home, I should head to my local CVS, get retested, and immediately get Paxlovid.
How confidant am I that it would go that smoothly? Not very. But it should.
And I never heard that until finance showed the quote. Too bad you were too stupid to find it, dick.
So now you're going to pretend that Biden doesn't make gaffes?
People who were following the science as we knew it then knew what he meant.
So when the president said if you have the vaccine you aren’t going to get Covid, everyone knew what he meant? Sounds fishy…….perhaps he simply didn’t know what he was talking about and disseminated false medical information to the public?
Maybe you never heard it but you sure as shit read it especially on this site before today.
