I want it to be true about excess deaths being over stated. But context is everything and I think people are more likely to run with a narrative they want to be true, even if it isn’t necessarily factual.Thank you for clarifying this. It reminds me when the CDC said something like only 6% of deaths solely listed COVID as the reason and lots of people with no understanding of medicine took that to assume 94% were inaccurately attributed to COVID. When, in fact, all it actually meant was those people had Co morbidities that also contributed to their death. But we live in a world where “truth” and “facts” are whatever people want them to be and thousands of people who have no idea what they’re talking about will announce that Johns Hopkins is saying there aren’t any more deaths this year when that’s not at all true. It’s simply amazing. But hey, whatever someone’s cousin shares on Facebook is probably just good science.
