RE: I have made absolutely no attempt to provide you with the estimate you have requested. That’s because I’m not an epidemiologist.
Well then, the only source I can refer to is still the official CDC source since they do have epidemiologists on their team. I can appreciate your not wanting to simply grab a random number out of thin air, but simply telling me their numbers are wrong doesn’t cut it.
I can’t go by this reasoning: “Because I say so, therefore it must be so.”
You ask me to do my research, well here’s a number the CDC has shown.... EXCESS DEATHS from 2020 to 2021 versus the average of the previous 5 years.
If their Covid numbers are humongously ( EMPHASIS on humongously ) wrong, I would expect the number of deaths from every cause to be close to the 5 year average. Yet, the excess deaths for the pass year exceed the previous 5 year average by over 400,000.
What factor accounts for this huge number?
Do these "official figures" also account for the 11 million illegal aliens that have allegedly been in this country since that immutable figure was first announced, back in 2003? Or is it 25 million? Or maybe 33 million?
Unless we can first agree on how many people (incl. illegal aliens) are in this country, it seems pretty pointless to me to debate about (apparent) mere hundreds of thousands of excess deaths.
