That's the problem and the solution!So many people desperate to claim that covid wasn’t as fatal as they said, that the vaccines don’t work, that the vaccines are dangerous, that masks don’t help or social distancing doesn’t help or they disregard the massive concerted effort to lock down in order to combat the first wave.
It’s utterly bizarre human behaviour which seems unique to the internet age… too many people confuse having access to Google as actually having specialty knowledge on a subject or confuse watching regular joes on YouTube give their opinions on something as “research”
It’s a big part of the reason why in 2022 we now have more people than ever who believe the earth is flat. They’re willing to disregard every bit of information from actual knowledgeable people and science in favour of some idiot with a string line, wild theories and a camera.
Some of what we can find is really good quality stuff.
Some is utter crap.
The average journalist somes out with something in between.
It doesn't take much to be more informed than the average journo.
Then there are those with agendas of cource. SO which do you choose to believe?
Regarding the unknown covid deaths, the Excess Mortality figures are of some use. The peaks certainly showed up. Covid deaths now, would be lost in the noise.
