So, yes, Covid is getting better and the average person has almost no chance of dying from it according to every official source.

Glad we had this convo.

I believe a large portion of our society needs to live in fear.

I’m wondering if COVID has increased the percentage of deaths per year, or if it has just displaced other causes of death.

The excess deaths statistics published by the CDC shows excess deaths in line with Covid deaths. There is a massive spike above baseline. People are dying faster, but because they are predominately the elderly and sick, I would expect future years to show a decline from average. None of what I am saying negates or detracts from the fact that millions of people have died prematurely from Covid.

Excess deaths are higher in some countries substantially to those recorded as COVID.

I have a hard time believing anything I hear from our own media. It’s good to get first hand information from multiple countries. Does the public in the UK / England trust their news media?

TheHarbingerOfDoom
I don’t know about the public. But I don’t

At the same time I don’t believe they would cripple the country and push up national debt to such levels without their being something to cause it.

Everyone know not to trust the internet. 
Everyone knows the news media cannot be trusted. 
Yet everyone trusts the internet and news media. 
Mass insanity?

They would absolutely cripple the country in order to consolidate POWER.

It’s what governments do.

They already took your weapons.

Now they want power over you. And they’ll get it. Already you have compelled speech and now they are threatening jail time for online trolls.

They have begun to restrict your language so that you cannot say or discuss whatever they deem offensive.

God help you.

Do you believe more people have died than has been reported? Do you believe less people have? Which years have they not reported it accurately?

They reckon over 50 million people will die this year? Can anyone check it?

I believe some governments will lie about how many people have died in their country for different reasons. But should we believe nothing at all?

I tend to believe the published figures, because there are millions of individual regions reporting the data. It’s the same reason our voting system requires each community to set their own voting standards. Sure, there can be a lot of bad actors, but they are washed out in the mix. 

I believe Covid is a serious disease that has killed millions of people. 

I believe vaccines work to prevent hospitalization and death. 

I believe that masks work. 

I believe that mask and vaccine mandates are government over reach.

I’d guess many countries vastly under report their Covid deaths for a plethora of reasons. China would top that list, followed by nearly every third world country that doesn’t have the resources and infrastructure.

Problem is governments can put out what they want and it’s down to each individual to sift through the data and try and work out what is real and what is made up. In countries like ours the government likes to know how many people there are. For taxes, for control, etc.

In some countries the governments don’t even have accurate birth or death records. And things are estimated.

And we all know if a government or organisation has an agenda they will manipulate figures, truth or whatever else for their own purposes.
TheHarbingerOfDoom
I agree with you. Some countries under report all deaths to try and show strength. Same as they do with COVID deaths.

Now they are saying phase 3 trials for Pfizer vaccine had falsified data and an overall display of incompetence
UnclePeet
“But, for researchers who were testing Pfizer’s vaccine at several sites in Texas during that autumn, speed may have come at the cost of data integrity and patient safety. A regional director who was employed at the research organisation Ventavia Research Group has told The BMJ that the company falsified data, unblinded patients, employed inadequately trained vaccinators, and was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer’s pivotal phase III trial.”

Released today.

BMJ is a peer reviewed medical journal

…,I guess there is a reason Israel and Harvard studies show an efficacy of 37% when it was claimed the trial showed 97%.
