The worldwide COVID death toll is more than double the official count of 3.24 million, a controversial new study estimates, the U.S. is no exception.

More than 905,000 people have died of COVID-19 in the U.S., 57% more than the official tally, researchers at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington said Thursday in a new analysis. That’s more than any other country.

The official U.S. toll is about 580,000, according to Johns Hopkins University statistics.

Worldwide the total is close to 7 million, which is more than double the official toll of 3.24 million, as recorded by Johns Hopkins University.

Looking at excess mortality between March 2020 through May 3, 2021, the researchers compared that to what would normally happen in a year without a pandemic, then made allowances for ancillary pandemic-related factors. They were left with, they said, numbers reflecting solely deaths from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Out disgusting local news rag sneakily changed their death count headline from “COVID DEATHS” to “Covid RELATED deaths” when I called them out on it. And every single death is “She was 98 years old with underlying medical conditions.”

World’s easiest claim to debunk.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

From March 22, 2020 to March 13, 2020 (~50 weeks) there were ~656,000 more deaths from all causes in the United States compared to average.

Any number higher or lower figure from any type of guesstimation should be dismissed out of hand.

Formerly of Tarsus IV? Hah!

Andrew isn't that good of an actor, though.
