Thanks Klaus I’ll have a look.

JD Vance says the all-cause drop is not real. CDC takes months to compile the stats. Not sure his source on that.

[Doctor Phibes]

I would have thought it would take a fair amount of time to compile death statistics for the entire country, particularly when the CDC is more than busy with other things.

What's odd is how hard some people seem to want to try to deny what at this point should be screamingly bloody obvious.
