Here we go again. Nanny state wanting to control every part of our lives because we are too stupid to think for ourselves.

I knew that Glantz was a liar and a fraud. I always wondered what his motivation was and while I knew there was funding out there I did not quite know how much.

Feel free to share this wherever you think it would help. Thx.

The largest record of COVID-19 patients to date has just been published (early view - uncorrected proof) in a major international scientific journal (European Respiratory Journal).
Our study analyzed the characteristics of approximately 90,000 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (by far the largest number of patients ever analyzed).
https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/early/2020/07/09/13993003.02144-2020
The main and most important risk factor for both hospitalisation and adverse outcome (intubation, ICU or death) was age> 65 years. Other important risk factors were chronic renal failure, diabetes and obesity (and other diseases with a smaller increase in risk).
An extremely important determinant of risk, however, was the number of concomitant diseases (comorbidities). Patients who had 2 or 3 comorbidities (random examples: heart disease and diabetes, or heart disease and obesity) had by far higher risk of hospitalization and poor outcome compared to those with 0 or even 1 comorbidities.
By the way, smoking (and by extension possibly vaping) was associated with 23% lower odds of being diagnosed with COVID-19, and it was not associated with adverse outcome.
