@ai6yr scientists? SCIENTISTS? we've been saying that all along.

@ai6yr This study seems to use a different approach to calculating covid deaths. I've seen other studies that used actuarial techniques to calculate excess deaths.

@ai6yr can confirm. I have a spreadsheet somewhere showing all deaths at my hospital after a patient was admitted, broken down by cause. I did the audits and was very conservative in my assignment of cause when it came to, say, COVID vs COVID+ with bacterial sepsis on admission, or COVID+ with massive hemorrhagic stroke. In 2021, 45% of our inpatient deaths were clearly from COVID. Many of the remaining were probably also, but I wasn’t looking at COVID at the time.

@ai6yr Now imagine it would have hit now.

@ai6yr Not surprised - the eye for detail on dead registration reflects the general trend on details in the USA..

@ai6yr I knew too many people that said they didn't die from Covid if they had "underlying conditions"... I usually snapped back that if someone was brought into emergency from a vehicle crash, that then died on the table - but had cancer... did cancer kill them, or did the car crash. They just refused to accept - that Covid infection moved up their eventual death from those possible underlying conditions. They might have had years to live... were it not for Covid. 🤬

@ai6yr @Jeanniewarner Mistitled article! COVID probably killed 150,000 more USAn people than official figures show. Extrapolates globally (if everyone else was lowballing their figures to the same degree) to 3 million extra deaths. Hint: non-American dead count too!
