oh my word. that's awesome. the whole point of the op is addressed in the comments by birx and you just dismiss it. of course you would do that. because it completely proves you wrong. and then you want to keep plugging away at some stupid strawman that has nothing to do with anything. you are special. and i don't mean that in a good way.

in order for all of your ramblings
you mean dr. birx. because it's birx's point. not mine. i'm saying the same thing she and many others have said. but i get that you don't want to admit that.

here's a question that i know you will not answer directly: is birx wrong? yes or no. that's the point of the op and the entire thread

In Texas as of today we have 39 COVID-19 Deaths per 1 Million people of the total population.

That means that .000039% of Texas population has died of COVID-19.

We also have 1,376 cases of COVID-19 per 1 million people.

That means that .001376% of Texas population have gotten the virus. (That we know of...)

Is that a big percentage?

And what about all the people that got the virus and didn't know it? That would make the survival rate much higher than 98% we show now...

In order for your argument to have a single leg to stand on, health departments and/or the CDC must be creating death certificates out of thin air. This should be easy to prove.

You think a misrepresentation of what Birx said "completely proves" me wrong? You don't have a fricking clue what you're even arguing at this point.

No, no it's not. It's hard to fathom the stupidity or dishonesty required to suggest that it is.

Do you plan to address the fact that there are tens of thousands of excess deaths per week or not?

That's a whole lot of words to say that you don't understand the very basic principle at play here.

This is the crux of the issue: if the covid death numbers are fake, that will be reflected in the total all-cause death figures that are updated weekly. You refuse to talk about this fact because it makes you look like a complete and total idiot. Or a liar.

Oh, and you keep talking about Birx as if I give a frick. I have never, not once, used anything Birx has said as evidence of anything whatsoever. You, on the other hand, have a strange fixation with her. You ridicule anything she says that you don't believe, and then you use her word as gospel when you think it backs up what you believe. fricking insane.

yeah, the experts don't understand. if only they understood what was going on, then they wouldn't say things like the data is suspect.

this is still off topic. it's not the the numbers are "fake," titanic. it's the attribution of c19 in the cause of reported deaths for people who have c19 and how that affects policy. it's unbelievable. you still don't get it no matter how many times it's explained. experts can now see how the numbers are being manipulated to tailor a political outcome.

The topic is how many people are dying of covid. You don't believe the media, you don't believe the CDC, you don't believe individual state health departments. I'm trying to make this simple for you. You think deaths are being misattributed to covid. I'm telling you let's forget about that because you just simply will not believe those facts. Instead, I'm telling you let's just look at ALL DEATHS per week and deduce what's going on, logically. But you refuse to use logic or common sense.

She said deaths due to covid will be six figures best case, and 1-2 million worst case. It's hard to find a post of yours where you *don't* ridicule these things.

Yeah...and heres a Reuters report covering CDC data out of New York showing 22% of the excess deaths that have happened there since March are non-CoviD deaths.

So, likely folks that aren't seeking treatment out of fear.

I wonder how this tracks nationwide and globally.

it's not that people don't believe the cdc. it's the methodology that they have published is producing a mortality count that might include deaths not related to c19. you know, like the quote i cited.

i couldn't care less about any of this and that's part of the problem. in an effort to not look stupider than you already do, you keep trying to derail the conversation. fortunately for you, i'm smart enough to not get distracted by your bullcrap.

i'll ask again, when birx and co say that the mortality count could possibly be inflated by as much as 25%, are they wrong and how do you know? it's a yes or no question

And what I'm trying to tell you is, if you think the methodology is so wrong as to be useless, then let's look at the all-cause data and draw our own conclusions. But you don't want to do that.

You derail every conversation by latching onto cherry-picked shite that you like and never letting go. No matter how irrelevant, insignificant, unsubstantiated, or flat out false, you just keep piling all this shite into your posts in order to water down the conversation. You have no focus, and no honesty.

Every post of yours in this thread. Literally every single one ridicules Birx's own estimations.

So I have to answer your question about a quote for which we have little context, but you don't have to answer my very simple question about the number of dead people?

I'll answer your question, then we'll see if you have the integrity to answer mine.

By all accounts, Birx's "can't trust" comment was regarding the CDC's "antiquated" data tracking system. And it didn't say "mortality count" as you have misrepresented (lied about), rather it says "mortality rate" and "case count". She may be right about that, but nowhere does it say that the death counts are inflated. The mortality rate depends on the number of cases, and since the case count was specifically mentioned, it is a solid assumption that the number of cases reported is the primary issue. If you have information that says that the death counts are wrong, I'd like to see it. If you don't, then you are yet again misconstruing data and statements to fit your agenda.

Now, for my question once again. State health departments and the CDC are counting tens of thousands of death certificates more than what would be expected per week without covid. What is your explanation for that?

pot, meet kettle. i have not done this. i keep trying to drag you back to one simple, facile set of quotes and you keep trying to drag a bunch of irrelevancies into the conversation. no one cares about your stupid death certificate bullcrap red herring.

quote:

You have no focus
i am laser focused on the quotes from the experts. you said you "don't care" and that they are "irrelevant." of course you would say that. you're piloting the titanic.

quote:

Every post of yours in this thread. Literally every single one ridicules Birx's own estimations
none of this has anything to do with reality. none of it. not one ounce. you are simply lying at this point. i have at no point made any comment about "birx's estimations" and i couldn't care less about that. this is the stupidity we're dealing with.

quote:

a quote for which we have little context
there we go. i knew this was coming. now that you are faced with this testimony, it "lacks context." DID YOU READ THE QUOTE? no "context" is necessary. it is self explanatory.

here it is again:
"they worried was inflating some statistics — such as mortality rate and case count — by as much as 25 percent"

quote:

And it didn't say "mortality count" as you have misrepresented (lied about), rather it says "mortality rate" and "case count"
this is what you're crawfishing to again? more bullcrap semantics. you absolutely can give aggiehank, ibchina and 90npc a run for their money. these threads are now legendary.

quote:

nowhere does it say that the death counts are inflated
wait, are you trying to say that this whole time you have been thinking i was referring to the TOTAL NUMBER OF DEAD PEOPLE? please tell me you're not that stupid. there's no way you've been confused about this the whole time. you think i've been saying there are less dead people than there actually are?!?!? wow. astonishing.

i have been explaining to you in plain english for dozens of posts what the ACTUAL issue is. you've been cited experts. and now you're saying you've been wrong about a semantic issue the whole time. even aggiehank isn't this stupid.

That is the only way the misattributed deaths narrative can make any sense. The theory is that the covid deaths reported by the media are being "borrowed" from other CoD's. If that is the case, we wouldn't see anything out of the ordinary in the total death numbers. But we do.

You don't understand that this is the direct implication of your argument? Astonishing.
