Interestingly the economies of the world seem to be fairing worse now that lockdowns have lifted and there are labor shortages in every area.

The effects of people dying and the unchecked spread of illness were ignored with calls of "you're killing the economy!".

Only if your premise that the labor shortages (and other economic issues) are caused by pandemic deaths is correct, mind you. The overwhelming majority of deaths (around 80%) from the pandemic in all countries was amongst retirement age individuals, most of whom are out of the workforce.

200,000 working age people in the US dying isn't nothing. It could also be explained by disabilities as a result of COVID and people unable to work as a result of that.

[OrvalWintermute]

it could also be explained by All Cause Mortality being higher in vaccinated populations than unvaccinated (which, by the way, is the proper use of ACM when you compare two populations with a control).

Age adjusted or nah?

Turns out non-covid mortality is significantly higher in unvaccinated.
