The USA does have substantial excess mortality. However, 50% of those deaths came under the non-populist regime of Joe Biden.

It is also impossible to determine how many deaths are related to the 2 million unvaccinated illegal immigrants who surged across our southern border in 2021.

Before 2020, USA mortality was rising an average of 35,000 deaths per year, or about 1.5% per year.

In 2020 and 2021 combined, we have had roughly 1 million excess deaths.

When the final 2021 numbers are in, the two year increase will be close to 20%.

This article is a jaw-dropping endorsement of authoritarianism. An open display of how “democracy’ — to the left — means the exact opposite of government of, by, and for the people.

Unreal.

“50% of those deaths came under the non-populist regime of Joe Biden”

https://www.abc10.com/article/news/verify/coronavirus-verify/more-covid-19-deaths-in-the-us-in-2021-than-in-2020/536-a4cfb1be-648b-41a7-8b64-6600131234d3

This article is simply a globalist hit piece. We don’t even know who died with covid as opposed to from covid.

Even if it is true would you rather have a slight chance of dying free or live forever in serfdom?

How much of this is from regular use of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in Africa and South America? How much from authoritarian countries just lying about death rates (I’m looking at you, China)?

Gee - almost like certain totalitarian oppressive societies might’ve released a virus on purpose…

If one is going to “follow the science” one needs to know the uncertainty / ‘error bars’ in the data being evaluated. Data from statist regimes tends to be less than reliable.

Well, I’m sure we’d all be better off living under a fascist dictatorship. But ... I’m busy trying to be free right now.

Weird definition of populist and I don’t think the governments classified as “populist” generally meet the definition. My guess is they wanted to group countries they could put the worst statistics on and label them “populist” so they could push their own elitist political agenda.

Our statistics are skewed. They includes people who died with Covid (from other causes), not of Covid. Other countries include only those who died of Covid. And their statistics look like rose petals. I have an impression that, besides the new religion called Science, nobody knows diddly shit about this virus, especially those, who throw the word “science” around more than anyone else.

I agree.

The study claims that Turkey is a populist country!

President Recep Erdogan is a rigid Islamist who jails or impoverishes any political leader or group that disagrees with him.
