This is litereally around the TWENTIETH time Ive had to explain this. Its tedious— why don’t you people read the soures you go aroung quoting, what do you think? Briand is the data analyst who made some misleading (my charitiable take) claims that were further distorted by the JH newsletter.

• “death rates stayed the same for all age groups.” Essetially a LIE. Deaths for every age group went up proportionally, ~ 15 or 20 percent. Most of those (covid) deaths were among the elderly naturally. Younger groups had the same relative increase but few additional deaths. Briand presented this as “the death rates stayed the same across age groups” because as a piece of the death pie the elderly did not have a larger slice. But it was a BIGGER death pie, she doesnt deny that. She’s just trying to trick people. She uses the term death rate deceptively, no one ever uses the term death rate in this way.

• “ high weekly death counts are normal” another bullshit claim in her presentation. She argues because there is a natural variation in normal process— the frequency of “deaths per week” values will have a bell shaped distribution—there is nothing to worry about when you see a week with 40% higher deaths than the average. She asserts that in a normal distribution very high and low values are expected statistically. But this is shenanigans. The US deaths per week statistic has been between 10 and 40 % above the average for around 48 weeks in a row! That event can NEVER be chalked off to normal variation, which is exactly what she is trying to do. I know the argument she is trying to make because I used to do this shit— her assertion is diarrhea.

• “There has been a yearly increase in total deaths because of demographic shift” more bullshit. She shows that for 3 years the increase in total deaths went up ~2.5 % so we shouldnt worry. Over the 5 year average its more like 1%, but it doesnt matter because deaths went up 20% over the last year, which sure cant be explained away by a fucking demographic shift. Nice try.

But why dont you reread the JH newsletter article or her original presentation, check her numbers and try to trip me up? I encourage you. Look at the math and PROVE ME WRONG. Go head boomer.

I used to get paid to lie with statistics. Its easy because no one ever bothers to look at the math. I DO.

No it isnt. All the right wing sites claiming that are fucking CIA psy ops dummy. Defense deep state created this virus— they were funding the Wuhan lab for decades. They killed 400,000 americans. They love it when stupid MAGA heads claim it doesnt exist. They win goy! Stop carrying their water dummy. Deaths jumped from 2.8 million in 2019 to 3.4 million in 2020. Were they just shooting old people and calling it covid? Where is a 20% rise in deaths coming from?

No I dont think so.
