Obviously, that 16% would not hold for ALL causes since it doesn't hold for all cancers and doesn't really make sense for accidents. BUT EVEN IF IT DID HOLD, it would mean 455,000 additional deaths over 5 years. Since there have been 1.5 million additional deaths over three years, at the very best, it would explain less than 30% of the additional deaths that have occurred, leaving over 1 million deaths in the past three years with no explanation other than Covid.

Still reading the rest of the article so maybe there are some details I missed.
Colorectal cancer is but one part of the equation. Breast cancer is another. There are more...

400K here, 400K there... Pretty soon you're talking real numbers...

And remember, I never said there wasn't an increase in deaths. I simply said I don't believe that the numbers they are presenting are accurate. Hence my "died with covid, not necessarily from covid" comment...
