AI6YR BenScientific American: COVID probably killed 150,000 more people in its first two years than official U.S. tolls show
We have severely undercounted the number of COVID deaths, scientists say (March 18, 2026)
John BurnsI knew too many people that said they didn't die from Covid if they had "underlying conditions"...
I usually snapped back that if someone was brought into emergency from a vehicle crash, that then died on the table - but had cancer... did cancer kill them, or did the car crash.
They just refused to accept - that Covid infection moved up their eventual death from those possible underlying conditions.
They might have had years to live... were it not for Covid.
🤬
Because the deniers decided to stop tracking Covid deaths specifically - and even forcing the certificates to show "underlying causes"...
... THEN the only way to know --- is to graph out all deaths over decades... and see the blip in deaths after January 2020...
That blip -- e.g. the change in the totals/average over those decades -- is Covid deaths.

I posted this in late March 2020 - when China, FL, TX - refused to publish accurate deaths.
