The COVID "cure" is worse than the disease?
In the UK the numbers suggest it's beginning to look that way. Mortality statistics are hard to fudge.

@YorkshireTea @freemo interested to hear your critique of this dude, looks troubling from my perspective
🇳🇱
::eye roll:: anyone who thinks the vaccine is actually dangerous is already not even worth my time. You can argue it isnt effective sure, but its overwhelmingly clear it isnt remotely dangerous at this point.
Appears a very unscientific attitude, but I won't waste your time further.
Scuba looks cool tho
Feel free to tag me, waste my time. If for no other reason that for me to look and go "Yup he is an idiot alright". Only reason its not worth digging deeper is I know how these people behave, I can give a detailed synopsis of all the logical fallacies and bad analysis and they will just go "muuuuhhhh math is a hoax, I dont understand math but I know its right"... just wastes my time. There is a level of idiot that cant realize they are idiots, dunning-Kruger and all that.
@freemo @YorkshireTea the reason I tagged you is because you're the only person I know who could credibly give a detailed synopsis of the logical fallacies
whatever though
Right off the bat before even getting knee deep in this pile of sewage I already notice the entire foundation of the argument relies on total deaths... in statistics we have something called confounding and by looking at total deaths, of which covid is only a small part, you are going to drown in a sea of confounding and not really get very good analysis.
For example think of all the other things going on when you quarintine... loss of work, depression, reduced transmission of other diseases, more sex (and potentially more STDs), change in eating habits, less exercise, Confounding would be through the roof...
Let me give it a full read though.
@freemo @YorkshireTea agreed, but again of the bat this would suggest that government policy is making things worse, not better.
throwing your hands up and screaming "it's the vaccines!" is bullshit though
Well yea thats the thing, the only thing looking at total deaths will tell you is well, how much people are dying. It tells you nothing about the causes of those deaths and is virtually useless beyond being able to say "people died from something"
Also how do you even know that government policy is making things worse... Could be tons of factors that arent even related to govt policy... thats the thing the analysis is so poor they cant even say that much.
@freemo @YorkshireTea there's not a lot you can say with any confidence with this data
one thing that stands out is that once excess mortality is outstripping covid mortality, it seems likely that the collective shift in government policy is doing more harm than good
@freemo @YorkshireTea what else, other than government policy, can cause such a huge shift
first, do no harm
@skells
Tons of things, and without better analysis no way to know what it is.
People could be depressed over covid killing loved ones and thus commiting suicide.
Maybe the constant fear of covid is causing depression and death.
Maybe people are so scared of covid they dont go outside and dont get exercise and are dying of bad nutrition, lack of vitamin D, or lack of exercise.
The reasons are too many to count because the data is so insanely broad.
