It’s a good thing healthcare in the US is being run by competent professionals and not, I don’t know, a brainworm
Probably insulting to brainworms but okay.
Brainworms all out attack!
Diamond Open Access, and the writing seems reasonable: study
I’ll note that, afaict, the kind of long term symptoms they describe aren’t acutely dangerous: We still have lots of covid infections today and not much increased mortality anymore. (Edits for clarity)
Could a medical professional chime in? Does the study justify the rhetoric in the OP link?
I’m not sure how you are defining mortality, but in the US alone there was from March 1, 2020, through the end of 2020, there were 522,368 excess deaths in the United States, or 22.9% more deaths than would have been expected in that time period. That went drown significantly after the vaccine…

Apologies if my language is unclear. I’m takling about post vaccine, 2023+. Today rates of mortality are close to, say, 2018 rates as far as I’m aware.
My reasoning: there are lots of folks who do not keep boosters current, do not try to avoid disease. They treat it as a common cold. I would expect the current mortality numbers to reflect it if this was a mistake. (Edit: eg, the cdc data show essentially the same mortality rate in 2023 as 2004)
This article reads like a lobbyist speak
Lobbyist for what? A healthy population?
Yes but I immediately become skeptical if the findings are cherry picked/exaggerated/early and if the suggested solutions are the right ones.
They are at least non profit according to bloomberg https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/4493995Z:US#%3A~%3Atext=John+Snow%2Cconsulting+services.
Actually that’s not them. Can’t find any info on them besides what they publish themselves
