Ah, it was ambiguous in your first post, as you wrote “they” and it seemed to me you meant Korey had not counted the highly populous districts that reported no deaths at all, of any cause. Thanks for clarifying.
>>>>”I still haven’t found where that article is peer reviewed. maybe I missed it, as I usually do, in the minutia. I didn’t know peer review was required to get an article published in that Journal.”<<<<<
Here you go:

In journal indexes, such as this one, it’s also listed as peer reviewed:

>>>>>”I noted that the research came from the “Preliminary Analysis of Excess Mortality in India During the Covid-19 Pandemic (Update August 4, 2021)”(for which I gave the link to the article)
Again, using Dr. Mark’s qoutes on Excess Mortality in India doesn’t do anything to debunk Dr. Cory’s report on how Ivermectin was used in Uttar Pradesh.”<<<<<<
He was using it as a reference to support his statement that there were highly populous districts in Uttar Pradesh which reported zero deaths of any cause:
“The baseline Uttar Pradesh data contained districts with zero deaths for numerous months and were therefore excluded from the top-line model.”
They do go back later and add back in extrapolated data for those districts. This gives you three choices of data sets (1) without those zero death districts (2) with them (3) with extrapolated data to make up for the missing data (in the months when zero deaths were reported) in those districts.
>>>>”you and I seem to be more in agreement than not. The problem is, we really haven’t been able to get non-compromised data....you come from one place, I come from another”<<<<
Good :) It’s true there is no good data for Uttar Pradesh, considering the populous districts that reported zero deaths of any cause.
I was really, really hoping ivermectin and/or HCQ would turn out to be really helpful, but alas ... Perhaps with the zinc, ivermectin does help. It was wonderful when MABs became available and worked like a charm if administered in time.
The place I come from is being firmly against mandates. I believe truth and reason helps that cause and that bogus claims about preposterous things like snake venom, teeny weeny razor blades, wriggling parasites, tiny mechanical octopuses, and magnetic nanobots that enable mind control by Bill Gates via 5G, etc., in the vaccines are harmful to that cause, as well as bogus claims they give you monkeypox, cause instant metastatic breast cancer, cause 44% of pregnant women to miscarry, etc.
You see, I think we need real bullets in the form of verifiable reasons undergirded by solid proof in our struggle against an overreaching government bureaucracy and the totalitarian-minded Dems. Bogus claims are just a bunch of silly smoke bombs and crying wolf way too many times, and hurt our cause.
I will continue fighting the good fight by keeping an eye out for *real* problems with the vaccines (such as elevated risk for carditis, likely elevated risk for Shingles outbreak, etc.), and you will, too.
