Are the CDC stats still based on "died with covid", or did that change to "died of covid" at some point? Serious question, I stopped paying attention awhile ago.
Died of covid is hard to prove, that’s why the alternative was used in the first place. Only excess mortality really showed the real impact.
Of course the deniers continuously moved the goalposts, claiming that the lockdowns themselves caused the excess mortality. This was trivial to disprove by pointing them at countries that locked down early and had no excess mortality. It’s still crazy to me how one group can have a chain of incorrect assertions, but then continue to make new ones without any self awareness.
