re: Study shows nearly half of ‘Covid deaths’ not caused by virus

I disagree. The majority of the medical professionals do not use the proper phraseology when completing death certificates. It was much easier for them to write Covid, than to list the the true reason (COPD) complicated by history of smoking and Covid infection. The problem becomes that when the Bureau of Statistics gathers the data, they take the cause of death, COD, as the primary listing, which in this case was Covid.

This s why for years our statistics have shown heart attacks as the primary cause of death. The reason being is because lots of people filling out death certificates list "cardiac arrest" on the death certificate. Well that is a gievn, most everyone's heart stops when they die. The truth is there is usually a reason for that, whether it be drugs, atherosclerosis, etc.

In the case of the 17 year old, my guess is that someone listed Covid, since it was much easier to justify a young person dying from an infection than it was from a drug OD.

It was despicable that the government was giving money for each Covid death, and that this likely also saturated the statistics.

By and large however, if someone was sick, had comorbidities, then Covid might have been the thing that pushed them over.

Not arguing one way or another, I just think that the statistics, as they are currently kept, is worthless.

Researchers from the UK reported that during the first pandemic waves, COVID-19 deaths were accurately attributed to the virus itself approximating an impressive 92-97% accuracy5. In Denmark, during the Delta wave, only an estimated 10-20% of deaths registered as COVID-19 deaths were in fact due to other, non-COVID-19-related, causes4.

It’s a direct quote from the study the OP is talking about

You implied an appeal to authority and confirmed as much with this response. I'm not what should be taken seriously per se but the arguments of the professionals I would refer to should be, thus my question of do you even know their arguments?
The number of deaths do not prove a cause as they're at best epidemiological observations. Fwiw I've heard this all debated and it only reinforced my confidence that I'm on the right side so to speak.

Thats one of the substacks I subscribed to after s/he got kicked off twitter. I liked the data he had, it was informative.

This is interesting because I followed him pretty closely from pandemic start to finish on Twitter. I didn't even know he was on substack. I wonder if we're talking about different people?

In any case, I agree with your point that being a dissenting voice in the early days of Covid definitely encountered a lot of pushback.

Heh. Silence is Golden...

If that wasn't the case, then how did we end up with the utter shitshow we saw?

Excess deaths proves the cause, is that your claim?

Chalk this up to that mind numbing period between 3/20 and 1/22 where common sense was not only ignored but vilified.

So a 350lb man with CHF and diabetes lays flat on their back in a hospital for 3 weeks because his 02 sat is low then throws a PE when they try to get him up.

Yep. COVID for sure.

Even better, shutting down schools and setting back education for years because of an unfounded fear that Little Johnny might get a head cold. The safest segment of the population, in regards to COVID, was the young. When that argument was effectively shot down due to zero kids having no worse symptoms than the sniffles, the excuse turned to "we have to protect the teachers". Of course THEY were all for that! Stay home, get paid, and spend miniscule time preparing a lesson plan that is emailed to a student. Even when COVID was petering out, it was the teachers and their unions that fought the hardest to keep the fear alive.

I totally agree and I have strong opinions on that.
