re: COVID death count is inflated: change my mind

When looking at statistical data, you have to have a control.

No you don't. In fact statistics are often most useful when we don't have a control.

That said, I have provided you with the closest thing we have to control groups, which is the last several years worth of all-cause death totals, to compare to the all-cause deaths during the height of this covid wave. You ignored it.

You can’t have a fair comparison if there’re outside factors that are influencing the data.

You are so focused on these "incentives" to code things as covid and whatever effect you think that might have that you are simply ignoring the facts that are staring you in the face.

I'd go higher than 50%.
