Well that's a ridiculously stupid paper.

Major claim: COVID is not the correct explanation for the 31 million excess deaths during... COVID.

Reasons provided:

* Excess deaths didn't rise until after public healthy emergencies were declared (yeah, duh, emergencies were declared as testing showed extreme growth which occurs at least weeks prior to most deaths)

* Vast differences in mortality rate between political jurisdictions, even among those who shared borders (yeah, duh, sharing a border doesn't mean you have the same public health or data reporting systems as the county, state, or nation nearby)

* Erratic mortality patterns (yeah, duh, there's a seasonality to many viruses and one can quite obviously see that in excess mortality and also by uhh... living through winter...)

* Unstable economic correlations (yeah, duh, there were different interventions protecting or exposing different people disproportionately at different times)

So all of these things they say disprove the virus hypothesis.

Frankly laughable. Thank you for sharing!
