I don't think the math works in this article's example, because there were no recorded deaths for the first three months of 2020.

If I look at this from a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), using "periods" instead of years, with 2020 having 9 periods (months) and 2021 having 11 periods, each beginning with a value of 1, and 2020 ending with 377,883 and 2021 ending with 392,117, I get a 2020 CAGR of 317% and a 2021 CAGR of 222%.

This suggests that the growth rate of deaths in the nine months of 2020 was higher than the growth rate of deaths in the eleven months of 2021.

I'm not concluding that the slower growth rate of deaths in 2021 is due to the vaccinations, as it can also be attributed to people staying home and distancing themselves from large crowds.

I think the best that can be concluded is that people were more aware of the situation in 2021 and took measures appropriate to their own situations, whether that was a vaccination, vitamins and minerals, or isolation.

But we had no treatments and vaccines at all in 2020. Now we have MCA, Ivermectin, vaccines, people still working from home, etc and death rates are about the same if you minus the last three months of this year.

I’m one of those people that believes you can’t stop a virus. But the media puts blame on Trump, DeSantis and so forth why aren’t Dems blamed?
