I know I'm going to try to be first in line, but what about the rest of you? I'm not sure if the death count is where the science community wants it to be, plus Birdbrain hasn't been sworn in, so I expect there will be delays, but that's beside the point.

But how do you possibly explain the other 600K number though, regardless of cause? I mean, the excess death rate has been very steady for decades. We're currently looking at an insane increase of excess deaths, regardless of cause. Why the dramatic increase if not covid? It cannot all be coincidence. Take the average of flu season over the last 5 years, and compare it to the current excess deaths. Even given the difference between "Died from covid" vs. "Died having covid in their system" you're left trying to explain away the cause of over 500K deaths that don't normally occur on average.

I firmly believe deaths were misreported or reported in error. Not the entire lot of them, but certainly a chunk.
Even discounting the average yearly number of regular flu deaths, the US has easily seen half a million more excess deaths over the past 12 months compared to the average. Half a million deaths is a lot to just wave away without any explanation... [Reply]

I asked for a long enough span of years to put this one in context, and used a reasonable 20 year span in my request, and you gave me 4 years, which you surely aren't too fucking stupid to realize is nowhere near enough data to be of any real significance in a comparison.
Now, instead of just saying something intelligent and accurate like "Good point, I'll find more", or "It's all I could find", or something like that, you decided to be an asshole about contrary evidence to a stat that's all but completely meaningless without more context.
Yeah, try flipping your failure onto me, that's brilliant work.

They do a good job on my neck where my headaches originate; keeps them at bay. MDs could only prescribe drugs; never found the cause. The less prescription drugs you take, and even non-prescription, the healthier you will be.
I'll have you know it was a chiropractor who found my food allergies when regular MDs diagnosed me as sick after feeling my glands, but could find no pathology after blood work. It was a different chiro, who also specialized in allergies, that asked to see the same blood work which led her to order a specific blood test of 40 foods, that found the allergies. An elimination diet handle the symptoms. Her father was an MD.
They go to school just as long as MDs. It's just a different approach and your spine is related to your immunity.
