The all-cause mortality angle has tripped me up a few times already. I wonder if what I had looked at prior took into account the growing and aging population or if that obscured the issue at hand. On my own journey to realizing vaccines could be more dangerous than the virus (let's table the debate on the existence of virus' for a second) had me run into a standoff between Kirsch and Crawford vs. a Medium Series that goes by the pretentious name as 'the gift of fire'. The Gift of Fire people said there wasn't enough room in all cause mortality for Kirsch's estimates of vaccine death. And they through a 100 graphs at the reader then ended by comparing all those critical with the pandemic to QAnon conspiracy theorists. I'd love to hear what you would make of their analysis and graphs that didn't make sense to me. https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/debunking-steve-kirschs-latest-claims-97e1c40f5d74
