A year ago, I was still willing to give her the benefit of the doubt; that ship has long sailed.

Regarding excess deaths vs. COVID deaths, there should be few if any situations where there is no difference in these numbers. To expect otherwise would backseat any other cause of death, which I find preposterous statistically.

I live in Florida. My supervisor, coworkers, and friends still believe this lie and hate DeSantis. Sadly, I am sure that even if I shared articles like this with them, they wouldn’t believe it and would refuse to change their minds.

I finally stopped procrastinating and posted a thread about Rebekah Jones, which may be useful for people who would find my account credible. https://twitter.com/BadCOVID19Takes/status/1417330901957193753

Thank you for this article.

I wonder if discrepancies between excess deaths and COVID deaths could be due to something else, like lockdown effects.

My husband and I have been constantly wishing there were better breakouts of age group deaths above 65. Last spring, the Texas COVID dashboard was showing cases and deaths by county with demographic breakouts by decades of age. I could look at them daily. If I'm recalling correctly, it was clear the bulk of case numbers were middle age and the bulk of deaths were over 75.
