No, they are severely overcounted. We were literally counting people who died of motorcycle accidents as COVID deaths if they tested positive for COVID in the emergency room. The PCR tests were dialed up to 40 cycles, which caused a huge amount of "false positives" as well.
The health authorities admitted that over 90% of the COVID deaths had pre-existing conditions and the actual cause of death wasn't really COVID. The IFR of COVID is less than a bad flu season.
- graeme 3y agoWhat I cited are excess deaths rather than Covid deaths. No one labelled them. The baseline death rate went up after Covid arrived. You can argue they weren’t Covid. But you need another explanation. And it needs to be global; this happened in every country. The rise in deaths began with Covid, and continues now. The baseline death rate has shifted higher.

- graeme 3y agoYou need an alternate explanation which started February 2020. That’s when the excess deaths began.
- willmadden 3y agoNo, a much bigger spike happened in December 2020 to February 2021, with another spike July-August 2021. https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid
