Either way, very suspect. The database has been taken down to adjust the data.

wow some really low quality and biased sources to back up a low quality and biased source... This is literally just a rehashing of VAERS fear-mongering https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/antivaxxers-misuse-the-defense-epidemiology-medical-database-to-demonize-covid-19-vaccines/ https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/antivaxxers-misuse-the-defe...

  I agree but I am not finding any coverage on mainstream corporate media. 15 years ago I would use that as evidence against the story. In today's media climate not so much.

    could it be because drawing conclusions from low quality, raw data like VAERS and the DoD database is not good journalism? Assuming correlations is not something quality news outlets should be doing

      How is reporting on an "unexpected 40% increase in ‘all cause deaths’ in 2021" from an actual government dataset NOT journalism? The DoD at the very least admitted there is a data corruption issue that went unnoticed for 5 years! Is your position that the citizenry should not expect a standard of quality for government medical data? Had nobody reported on it would the error have persisted if that is indeed the case? Without coverage there is no way of even asking these questions let alone answering them.

        I don't think it's accurate to say that the OP or your sources are just "reporting on an "unexpected 40% increase in ‘all cause deaths’ in 2021" from an actual government dataset". All the links are clearly coming to specific conclusions (which align with the bias of the source) that could not be reasonably made considering the data they are referring to. This is on top of the highly charged language and providing no link to the source they are making their claims based on. I am all for reporting on possible errors in data, but what is going on here is much more than that.
