Context: I'm astonished how many people have replied to Candace that these are good questions. So let's try to answer them.

Nobody says that the virus kills everyone, but it's especially dangerous to the old. Median age of Afghanistan is 18. There aren't many old people there. Image
And that's before considering that the nominal government in Kabul probably didn't do a great job keeping vital statistics. Hard for any poor nation to do, let alone one in civil war. We know from stable developing countries that Covid deaths seem undercounted. Image
As for why the Taliban bans vaccines (including the one for polio), it's probably for the same reason they blow up ancient statues. They're superstitious authoritarian warlords, not great role models Image

Context: He's been trying to get banned for a while to promote his book sales. He understands this grift better than almost anyone. It's why he tried to create the impression that every one of his pamphlets was "censored," while selling hundreds of thousands of them.
In March 2020, he had 7700 followers. His platform became 50 times larger, 50 times more lucrative, thanks to popular lies and careless errors he never corrected. Here's a thread of some of them.

Australian soap opera actress says that the “scamdemic” was single-handedly brought down by Albertan man who proved in court the virus doesn't exist.
Context: I’ve seen a lot of this today on Facebook and Instagram. Basically King contested a social distancing fine last December and tried to serve a subpoena on Alberta’s CMOH Deena Hinshaw. This paper was allegedly part of Alberta’s defense. But it doesn’t admit anything.
It seems to be a motion to quash his subpoena. It argues that Hinshaw has “no material evidence” related to King’s $1200 fine. King complained on the Stew Peters Show that opposing attorneys argued that it was irrelevant. Yeah, that’s their point—not that the virus doesn’t exist.

Context: U.S. Senator doesn't understand what censorship is. Johnson uses his platform to endorse the next phase of Alex Berenson's grift (milking a one-week Twitter suspension to go on Tucker, etc.)
As context for Alex's recent tweet, arbeit macht frei (“work sets you free”) was put over the entrance of Auschwitz. Impfung macht frei means “vaccination sets you free.” It's a pander to the “vaccine holocaust” theorists and incredibly gross.

Context: It's been a month after the date Berenson says cases exploded, and two weeks since he repeatedly claimed imminent "vaccine failure." It was a weird flex for him to basically turn into a "wait two weeks" doomer, but I did wait and—nope, the vaccines continue to work well.
Plots created by a sheet @Marco_Piani gave me, who has some good observations about Berenson's related misrepresentations.

A lot of people are pointing out the headline is also bad. I agree. Two-fers are a thing, and it's been a bad week for MSM clickbait failing to convey context.
And this has hardly been the only example.
