We never seem to get concrete daily/weekly figures on those illnesses or how old or young people are dying from covid MJ.
I feel really sorry for millions of people waiting for cancer/heart operations as this pandemic should have been more or less resolved by now.
Figures for cancer vary dependant on the Cancer some are over 90% mortality others much less so but you need to factor in how early they are discovered.
Treatments are improving but certainly no vaccine.
Heart disease (along with some cancers) are hereditary so difficult to avoid but good diet and healthy life style can prolong them.
I'm actually a believer that progress in medicine should be DNA based, eg, a persons DNA should be taken at birth and it should be possible what potential disease the person may suffer and in turn the person should know what food, etc is good and bad for them.then their life choices is known from a early age.
Obesity is a major issue and should be dealt with, a succession of governments (along with poor parenting) around the world are to blame in my view, the western world is getting soft and lazy. You've only got to look at any school to see we are a ticking time bomb. Of course Obesity plays its part in many illnesses including Cancer & heart issues.
But saying all that sadly their isn't a vaccine for any of these so its a different issue to the Covid one.
The fact their was 80,000 more deaths in the UK (all causes) in 2020 than the previous 5 years average suggests something is causing it. To me its clear what it is and that is why the vaccine made sense for me.
