This smells like politically motivate BS. Science gets everything wrong, so it's OK if we just believe whatever we want to about the Pandemic.

For example, on the first page of this article, follow the link titled "We Must Choose: Liberty or Lockdown". There you will learn that the "CDC acknowledged that only six percent of US deaths came from Covid-19 alone."

You can find a good explanation of the facts behind this lie on Ars Technica. In short, on death certificates Doctors may list a Primary/Immediate Cause and any Contributing or Underlying Causes. For example the immediate cause of death may be heart failure with an underlying cause of Covid-19. Or a doctor could list Covid-19 as the immediate cause and something else as a contributing cause. In both cases, the person died of Covid-19. What the CDC reported is that on 6% of the death certificates doctors listed ONLY Covid-19.

But for 100% of those death certificates list Covid-19 as the cause of death.

What those assholes are saying is "Oh, your mother would be dead anyway - she had diabetes." When in fact she would NOT be dead except for Covid-19.

To quote Star Trek's Q: "Of course you'll still die. Just not right away."

Oh wow. Thanks for pointing this out. Even the first three links of the article are "What Greta Thunberg Forgets About Climate Change", "What Economists Can Teach Epidemiologists", and "An Avalanche of Failure" which is complaining about lockdowns again.

Then I looked up this "American Institute for Economic Research" and it's a conservative political non-profit dedicated to creating "a society based on property rights and open markets". That type of naming, trying to pass themselves off as a neutral research institute is some Prager U. level grossness.

As you said, the whole article is clearly politically motivated BS.
