What a joke. Please read about excess mortality before saying stupid things. Most people who die in car crashes wouldn't have died otherwise. Huge numbers of people who died "from COVID" would have died from something else.
- musicale 5y ago> Please read about excess mortality The World Mortality Dataset: Tracking excess mortality across countries during the COVID-19 pandemic https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7852240.2/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7852240.2/ "Summing up the excess mortality estimates across all countries in our dataset gives 3.3 million excess deaths. In contrast, summing up the official COVID-19 death counts gives only 2.1 million deaths." Interestingly enough, their conclusion was that covid deaths are being undercounted: "At the time of writing, the world’s official COVID-19 death count is 2.9 million. Our results suggest that the true toll may be above 4.5 million."
