It’s going to be hard to persuade a lot of people to go back to COVID protocols with something like this. “Fool me once…”
- thebruce87m 2y agoIt’s crazy that excess deaths show at least 1.2 million extra people dying in the US as a result of covid but still some people think it wasn’t real. https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2024/new-analysis-reveals-many-excess-deaths-attributed-to-natural-causes-are-actually-uncounted-covid-19-deaths/ https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2024/new-analysis-revea... > Nearly 1,170,000 people have died from COVID-19 in the United States according to official federal counts, but multiple excess mortality studies suggest that these totals are vastly undercounted. > If the primary explanation for these deaths were healthcare interruptions and delays in care, the non-COVID excess deaths would likely occur after a peak in reported COVID-19 deaths and subsequent interruptions in care, says study lead author Eugenio Paglino, a PhD student studying demography and sociology at UPenn. “However, this pattern was not observed nationally or in any of the geographic subregions we assessed,” Paglino says.
