This data is worthless. “COVID deaths” are a completely arbitrary statistic. Excess mortality is the only metric that matters - which is precisely why they didn’t use it. Then Sweden would have done even better and they’d have had to exclude China (as they should have anyway) because we have no idea what goes on in China and nor does anyone else. This is such a silly game we keep playing with “COVID deaths” and it’s a little sad even team reality is now pretending it’s actually a relevant data point
Call me a conspiracy monger but: this was intentional to drive the US economy down and take pressure off of China. Trump was hurting them badly. They acted and our wankers in key positions did everything wrong. Regardless of whether it started as a way to level Trump, the commies in and out of DC used it.
The list of predictions by the tyrants and the oppression they heaped upon citizens is numerous but publish them all and do it often. These people (assisted by our corrupt media) are already attempting to memory-hole much of what they said and did to others. Don't allow that to happen.
My liberal lock down 'friends' who thought it was ok for me to lose my job, be locked in my home and generally treated like a second class citizen unless vaxxed and masked, now want to act like nothing happened. My response when they want to get a beer? Go fuck yourself.
What was called a "COVID death" 24 months vs. 12 months vs. 6 months vs. 1 month ago feels very, very different. Will we ultimately lump in vaccine-related deaths as part of a 'rona death? (Probably not)
I've noted a dozen times, but I'd love for Alex (or any non-owned entity) to dive in and report on every person in the U.S. political space who has financial gains tied to the vax. I think our heads might explode if that data was made public... c'mon, Alex. They hate you already, show what they're really made of.
New York needs to see this graph as they re-embark on more masking with the recent "surge". But people in New York seem oblivious to facts, surviving purely on their own hot air.
That chart makes a huge leap; namely, that COVID deaths are accurately counted. Of course they were not and the US was probably the biggest offender of all. I have an idea, next flu season let's give tremendous incentive for hospitals, doctors, media, and politicians to count flu deaths. Let's put a ticker in the corner of every screen. Let's talk about it endlessly. Let's put flu positive patients into nursing homes ... then let's see how those number stack up to COVID. I have had both COVID and Omicron (Omicron, genetically appears to pre-date COVID, so I count them as separate viruses). I am not immunocompromised, but am in my 60's. A bad flu is much worse than COVID-19.
How any of these idiots that pushed lockdowns and hastily made vaccines can even show their heads in public is beyond hideous. Narcissism at its finest. Most will go to their grave without apologizing.
The U.S economic impact was on life support with the Trillions in spending. Let's redo the chart with 2022 and 2023 GDP's; we'll be in the bottom right for sure.
As the first American social scientist allowed to do fieldwork in Communist China in 1979-80, I quickly discovered that Party officials will produce whatever statistics the political situation demanded. The number out of China are meaningless. At the very least, you can add two or three zeros to the death toll. This would push China to the right of the U.S. on this meaningless graph.
Somewhat related thought: I noticed the recent videos coming out of Shanghai China of the lockdown and isolation of their citizens. The latest videos out of China remind me very much of the Jan 2020 videos that came out of Wuhan China. In 2020, I think China was surprised when Italy actually locked down and China was even more surprised when the US locked down for 15 days (which turned into 15 months!). The lockdowns kept the prices of chinese-made goods high and demand for computers and electronics high. Lockdowns are good for China. I think this is all theatre and China wouldn't let these videos out if they didn't want the world to see them. You don't see videos of Uyghurs' concentration camps or torture chambers, do you? It's been estimated that 1M Uyghurs have been sent to internment camps for "political reeducation", forced sterilization, and forced labor. 1M oppressed people yet NO videos. Yet, we see covid lockdown videos coming out of China. It's all by design. China is playing chess and we're the pawns.
I agree the data is useless particularly considering how many gunshot and car accidents were considered Covid deaths in the U. S. as well as the financial incentives for doctors and hospitals to lie and call any death as a Covid death. Then we have the "I hear nothing I see nothing" Chinese reporting that is far from data. The only data I believe is that the wife and I took IVM every week and still do and generally followed the FLCCC protocol AND we have had no Covid. We are in our 70s and have been very active going every where without masks except the doctor's office that requires a mask. Once inside the exam room we wear it usefully around the chin for jaw support. And we are not Asian. Now that is a real data point.
We do not know how many people died...FROM covid, WITH covid, or because of the RESPONSE to covid.
Two weeks ago today, a friend's brother took his life. He was 56 years old.
He was mentally ill. He was an alcoholic.
BUT before covid, he regularly attended AA meetings; he was regularly meeting with his therapist. He had a small circle of friends. He was regularly eating nutritious food that he prepared himself.
Then the lockdowns. We're reasonably sure he did not start drinking. But there were no AA meetings; he missed many appointments with his therapist; he stayed at home and sometimes ordered junk food to eat.
He isolated himself. Being told to stay inside--being frightened--exacerbated his mental illness.
He never tested positive for covid; he never had symptoms of covid.
My friend told me today, "As far as I'm concerned, my brother died of covid."
It is obvious that lockdowns did more harm than good. How could this not be intentional? The global implementation of policies that have so much clear and obvious collateral damage can only mean that it was a purposeful disruption to both the economies and quality of life for the world's citizens.

Where does India show up?
78 per cent of covid deaths in the US attributed to obesity. Fauci in charge.
I agree the data is useless particularly considering how many gunshot and car accidents were considered Covid deaths in the U.

So? Do we have a category for THIS death?
Point taken on Sweden. But I have to admit it pains me to see totalitarian Australia doing so well there on the top left.
It is obvious that lockdowns did more harm than good. How could this not be intentional? The global implementation of policies that have so much clear and obvious collateral damage can only mean that it was a purposeful disruption to both the economies and quality of life for the world's citizens.
