There's no strawman here. You're saying that you still think the death count was inflated even though I have shown you that there were 479,000 excess deaths in 2020. Do you not understand what an excess death is? And why it matters here? The OP states that everyone who disagrees with his opinion is exhibiting cult like religious fanaticism but here you are stating that you think the death count was inflated when there were 479,000 excess deaths in 2020. You are the cultist exhibiting religious fanaticism here, not the rest of us.

There are 127,000 deaths above and beyond the reported 2020 covid death toll. I'm not saying they're all from Covid but there's no way they're all suicides and medical problems that went untreated. Some of them are for sure but not 127,000. I'd say about half of those deaths are Covid related. There were only about 10,000 excess suicides after the 2008 crash to keep things in perspective.

And even if it's only... 1,000 of them, that still lays to rest the argument that there was some kind of giant nationwide conspiracy to inflate the death count. It was deflated, not inflated. Covid has killed more people than the official count, not fewer. period.

All that BS about how they were calling motor vehicle accident victims Covid deaths to pump up the numbers is just that, BS. And don't even tell me that you weren't playing right along with that narrative. You're still playing along with it.

yawn. Your strawman is arguing something over and over that I nor anyone else here is arguing. Yes, I think the death count is inflated but even if its not it wouldn’t change my opinion. There is no evidence shutdowns, masks, etc have done anything to help.
