    Tell that to countries like Peru and Mexico who had little vaccination and a mortality rate of nearly 5%. Compared to the countries who had the highest vaccination rate with mortality of less than .05%

    So… over 100 times more?

    USA and CA had 1.1% so 5 times more… (erm that makes no sense, but you get what i mean. I need coffee)

      Those numbers aren’t accurate. They didn’t have the same insane drive to try to find and record every case, so the death percentage is artificially inflated

        Excess death statistics don’t lie, it’s extremely difficult to hide trends in total deaths.

          Exactly. So deaths are drastically overcounted, as opposed to “confirmed cases”. Which is why the combination of the two leads to drastically overstating the death rate.

          Now you’re getting it!
