Saying something is factually incorrect and demonstrating something is factually incorrect are two different things. Just like making a point in your post or making a pointless post are two different things. Or also like dying WITH covid and dying FROM covid are two different things.

I can almost guarantee you that I am more educated and have a higher IQ than you do. So instead of getting in a education or IQ dick measuring contest, why don't you just simply explain why I'm incorrect if you are so much more educated and intelligent than I. But you won't because then instead of making baseless claims about factual correctness, my education and intelligence, you know damn well that I'd be able to pick apart whatever bullsh!t you're able to string together. The smartest thing you've ever posted is that quote in your tagline.


The listed cause of death aspect has been beaten to death, and started early on. Yes, in some states they were required to list it if someone had covid when they died. This led to people dying in a car accident and also being counted on the covid list. When states went back and adjusted the count it typically only removed a handful of deaths that were incorrect.

The deniers also went after death certificates that listed heart failure, pneumonia, blood clots, and other things as being fake covid deaths. They overlooked the fact that this is how covid kills you, your body can fail in many different ways from symptoms of covid. Covid is the cause of these other ailments, but the virus didn't actually kill you.

And many covid deaths went unreported due to no testing being done, mostly in the elderly. Globally this is probably a much bigger problem.

I know quite a few people that have had it, some that you would have expected to have complications didn't. Others that wouldn't be on a high risk list died.

The US has handled it terribly because stupid people following a narcissistic refused to even follow some rather simple precautions.

It was obvious after traveling through states that did or didn't follow recommendations, then looking at the infection rates.
