Maybe when people started going back outside to do stuff? Did they account for the reduction in death in 2020 from other causes due to the lockdowns? Are you arguing no one really died from Covid but did die from the vaccines?
Say what the heck you mean, Mr Bright, because you’re dancing around it like you’re on American idol or something.

- walterbell 4y agoThere's a 43-page paper above. Any sentences from that paper need clarification?
- ok_dad 4y agoI’m not going to read a 43 page paper, but it seems like you’re just promoting FUD here because you don’t want to actually say anything other than to ddos us with 43 page papers.
- walterbell 4y agoI'm sorry if you missed the last two years where this topic has been discussed at length on HN. Now, two years later, there has been enough time for data collection and structured analysis, so there's less need for real-time hot takes and we now have both hindsight and papers. If you're looking for opinion rather than papers, the HN comment archive will be happy to provide.

- danans 4y agoThat's an interesting article, but it focuses exclusively on statistics from Germany, a country that had a pre-pandemic mortality rate 50% higher than the US (presumably due to an older population), and a COVID CFR half that if the US. Therefore it's not surprising that the pandemic's excess mortality signature isn't as clear there.

- Izkata 4y ago> Did they account for the reduction in death in 2020 from other causes due to the lockdowns? How about an increase in deaths from other causes due to the lockdowns? Because that happened in the US, where covid-19 only accounts for about 60-70% of the excess deaths: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234
