their national statistics service numbers are being used to estimate 'excess deaths' and putting Russia in the 500-700K deaths range

So ... I guess that justifies a total lockdown over here ... because ... science.

Just saw where Mattel is making vaccine barbie dolls. I hope they at least do the same with their Ken dolls.

So is China’s and every other dictatorship worse than reported.

[qwerty1234]

my guess is many millions died in China, but they will never own up to that.

DATA suggests ABC News lies more then conservatives have been reporting. <-—There fixed it, or at least this is what I suspect.

Maybe Russia does not inflate their “COVID-related” deaths to the degree they do here in the Untied States.

If only the deaths attributed to actual effects of COVID-19 Wuhan virus are reported as such, then even our death toll would be much lower. But the co-morbidities are pretty much to blame for the vast majority of deaths, which may or may not be accelerated by or correlated to the presence of the coronavirus particles upon testing, which up to now, has not been particularly reliable.

Supposedly the USA has around 600,000 Covid deaths...

Because everything is political and the media among many others hated Trump, I believe the number of Covid deaths in the USA is highly inflated....

There is a difference between dying with Covid versus dying from Covid...

My guess is probably 25-40% of Covid deaths in the USA are bogus, even if the person tested positive for Covid the person died from a gun shot, car wreck, cancer, heart attack, etc....perhaps the number is much higher....

We know that certain Covid tests are bogus inflating the number of infections...

This is happening all around the world, in Russia the media wants to stay on the good side of Putin so they under report Covid deaths, in the USA the media hated Trump so they way over inflate Covid deaths...

[Robert DeLong]

Well, ours is much lower than reported.

[rrrod]

Probably much higher.

Communists lie?

Who’da thunk it...

Data suggests . . .

An astute consumer of mainstream media should always be on the lookout for what I call "weasel words".

The word "suggests" is one such word. There are many you should be on the lookout for: may, possible, perhaps, could, and dozens of others.

Propaganda designed to make the inadequate British feel better about their own death rate.
