I separated this, because you're using whataboutism to change the topic. I'll address it, but want to keep my original topic clear.
You claim there are inarguably a percentage of deaths that aren't Covid-related, but which have been labeled as such. Where's the evidence of that? What's the clear percentage? Look at the excess death rate for 2020, and you'll see that Covid is probably responsible for MORE deaths than have been labeled as such, unless there's another epidemic going on that hasn't been detected.
So, no, you aren't making a good point. You're parroting talking points others are making without evidence behind them.
Not at all. I suggest you look at the on average Low death statistics for this year. Like I have said to others, man just look it up on more than one or two sites. Ridiculously easy to find, even if you do need spoon feeding. Hell, here on MT there are several of the statistics posted.
Just within the last month a family was on the local news because they had to sue Vanderbilt hospital to get the COD changed from Covid to the actual COD so that the person's insurance would pay. That is most certainly the tip of a very, very sad iceberg. Really rather disgusting IMHO.
I really have no idea what you mean pertaining to a 'whataboutism' or about changing the topic since I simply replied to your post. But if you need to make up a word in your argument feel free.
How someone chooses Not to see the mixing of information is beyond understanding. But like they say "ignorance is bliss". What I said was that the real numbers are already buried and tainted such that they will never really be known.
I am not a scientist nor ever claimed to be. I do not try to follow the 'information' since it really isn't all that relevant in my world. And Yes, people in my immediate family have had the virus. I have an Aunt dealing with it right now. She has been in kidney failure for about 10 years and her case has not been very bad at all. A mountain of a man who often does millwright work for me has it and has had a hard time. I say this to say none of us know for sure what it will be like if/when we get it. But I would have given you enough credit to Not blithely follow everything you are hearing on the news as the science. Was it not rather obvious early on that it was going to take some time to get any kind of handle on this?
In any kind of cause and affect measurement or control, overreaction is almost always the worst kind of action. So why you think I am in some kind of hurry I have zero clue. I am patient and
trusting in the science, even though I am not following it on a minute by minute basis. For your sake I hope you are not trusting the nightly news to get your 'science'.
I follow the rules as needed. When I go to a business or customer site I mask up and wash up as needed. What more do you suggest?
Oh, and as far as parroting anyone, it would only be because they were correct.
