And all other countries tracked are also participating in this horrible conspiracy? Particularly Russia? How can you imagine this, let alone prove it. How can you think the Russian Ministry of Health cares in the least about CDC directives?
Have a look at the Russian data. They are dropping like flies.
The same people who scream about vastly inflated numbers from CDC then turn around and twist Israel’s data to look even worse to somehow argue the vaccines are increasing fatalities, when in fact Israel is very highly vaccinated and has very low adjusted-for-population fatalities compared to ours.
Moreover, I don’t know anyone actually in the trenches (hospitals, etc.) treating serious or worse COVID cases who thinks their local COVID data is significantly inflated. And I know of no case where a locality or state has accused CDC of puffing up the data. I guess they are all in on the conspiracy...
Now, that said, I would not quite characterize the Russians as “dropping like flies”. But, nor would I dismiss their fatalities, either... I’ll bet if he thought he’d suffer sustained / total casualties of similar magnitude by invading Ukraine, Putin would back off in a hurry. And, he’s no softie.
