Considering only 6% are provably true Covid deaths, I'm really not so sure the number of lives lost isn't something to scoff at. Most people that say something like that also get in a car almost every day.
- lanternfish 5y agoWe can diff-in-diff deaths from medical emergencies; there doesn't need to be very strong proof beyond that because of remarkable signal strength.
- vokep 5y agoCan you explain further or link to some resource that does? I am not entirely convinced one way or the other, but I've leaned more and more towards viewing covid like any other cold based on information I'm aware of. The apparent absolute lack of integrity of CDCs summaries of how to interpret their data vs. the appearance of the data has also contributed to my view. I'm not going to say I'd be happy to be proven wrong - it would mean the world is a in a worse state than I'd hope it is, but I don't intend to have an incorrect model of reality, so if my model is wrong please help me correct it.
