This is quite a flawed and obviously biased analysis.<p>To use just one example. If the UK hadn't had locked down when it did, it's likely the entire health service would have collapsed, leading to more excess AND Covid deaths.<p>Unlike the author, I don't pretend to have the answer, but anyone with a functioning brain can see this "analysis" is without merit.
Seems like a lot of sloppiness supported more by attitude than evidence.<p>> ... there is very little resistance now to the assertion that COVID was manufactured in a biolab. Those responsible for making it are responsible for the millions of deaths it has caused.<p>This is still very much debated. Based on the two related strains that were cultured from the wet market and the locations of the earliest infections there is good reason to believe the virus came from there. Notably this is what many virologists experienced with identifying outbreak sources are asserting.<p>> ...forced wearing of masks, etc. show very little evidence of benefit ...<p>Admit to forgetting the details, but there was one large US State, I think it was Nebraska, which dropped masking for political reasons and had an immediate and sharp increase in COVID cases. There is lots of data with masks and diseases spread through the air. This is why surgeons are required to wear them.
Fascinating analysis and I cannot immediately see the flaws. I don't see any specific good counter-arguments in this thread.<p>One thing I would contradict is his idea that it is suspicious that excess deaths taper just as vaccinations do. Wouldn't we expect that if the vaccines worked well? Presumably vaccines taper as the vulnerable population is saturated with vaccine. Some time after that you would expect deaths to slow
