A new study provides the most compelling data yet to suggest that excess mortality rates from chronic illnesses and other natural causes were actually driven by COVID-19 infections, disproving high-profile claims that have attributed these deaths to other factors such as COVID vaccinations and shelter-in-place policies.
Nearly 1,170,000 people have died from COVID-19 in the United States, according to official federal counts, but multiple excess mortality studies suggest that these totals are vastly undercounted. While excess mortality provides an estimation of deaths that likely would not have occurred under normal, non-pandemic conditions, there is still little evidence into whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus contributed to these additional deaths, or whether these deaths were caused by other factors such as health care disruptions or socioeconomic challenges.

I’d be curious to see what Ed Dowd has to say on this project - I am sure he’s one of those ‘high profile’ sources this study is trying to discredit.
In general, Ed’s data can be found here:

I was checking Ed’s GETTR account to see if there were any comments specific to this study (no) & I saw he posted this at the end of the year:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way…”
~ Charles Dickens “A Tale of Two Cities”
Which is why Deep State has been screwing with autopsies, death certificates, medical coding...
The stats are ALL crap.
Every single, sodding stat.
And not just in this country.
A new study contributes the most compelling evidence yet
...................
There is little evidence.
Both in the first two paragraphs.
There’s never been a test for a specific cold virus because it isn’t cost-effective. They generally mutate quickly and they don’t hit hard enough for treatment to have to ID the virus.
If you really need to know, a PCR can ID most infections, but they cost something like $200+ to run, not just a dollar or two.
Friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. Stage 2 leaning toward three. She could not get treatment because of the lockdowns. Cancer surgery was considered "elective" medical treatment. She survived but likely will die with in the next five years because the operation was delayed for a year.
Mother of another friend had lung trouble, never tested positive for WuFlu so was repeatedly sent home to get worse. At one point was hospitalized, left in wet clothes and not fed for over five days. The nurses would stand across the room and scream at her to "talk louder". The only "care" she got was swabs shoved up her nose in the vain attempt to find a virus that was not there. Finally got a doctor who realized she had lung cancer. It killed her. Would she have died except for the bone deep stupidity of the medical establishment? Yes. But she probably would have had another year or two.
Did either of these people suffer from "health care disruptions"? I would say so.
Did either of them have WuFlu? No.
Feels like they are drumming up the fear factor again, doesn’t it?
So do you know what the “rapid antigen” test is looking for, for COVID?
I can see what PCR is, as far as replicating a testable blob of DNA. What do you do then? Run a Blot?
Antigens are what your antibodies look for on the virus. There’s no amplification, so they aren’t as sensitive.
But they also depend on the virus still matching the sample, and most cold virii are quick mutators, so the test you develop today won’t pop hot in a year. Or maybe even in months. So there’s not much point in making them, unless you know you’re gonna be able to sell a lot of them, very quickly. And normal colds just aren’t severe enough (and have too many sources) to be worth bothering with making antigen tests.
There you go ... being logical. How DARE you?!
“My theory is the swab is the virus.”
I’ve been suspicious that the test swabs were the vehicle for transmitting Covid.
