I would honestly like to see a reference to whatever study you're quoting. Because all the data I've looked at clearly shows the US getting hit harder by COVID than anywhere else.
We're #1 in both infections and deaths. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093256/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-deaths-worldwide-by-country/
Over 100 million cases of it have been documented here, with over 1.1 million deaths. This also places us at the second highest of per capita deaths in the world under one country: Peru.
Our COVID death rate accounts for 1/6 of the total world deaths from COVID.
Funny enough, there's been studies on Pedophilia that determined:
What do most greedy narccissists want? Power. Who are they intimidated by? Critical thinking adults. Something kids lack.
So the greedy - who are obsessed with power - who avoid critically thinking about their poor use of resources - will likely be drawn to pedophilia as a sexual outlet.
Elon Musk comes to mind. For many reasons.
