See posts 14 nd 25.
But as usual, you will deny the data starting you in the face.
Regarding 14, there's no link to the data but is there any evidence, at all, that any of these excess deaths were the result of the vaccines?
Regarding 25, I commented on it earlier.
I don't know what mandates Dowd is talking about but the federal mandates didn't hit until late September - too late to affect Q3 numbers.
More importantly his whole arguments rests on the assumption that there must have been a surge in vaccinations as a result of the mandates, but the data don't back that up at all:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccinations.
Do you find it odd that Dowd tries to correlate the increase in deaths with an arbitrary event - the vaccine mandate - rather than with the number of vaccinations actually given?
Probably because he couldn't find any correlation in the data.
