It's painful to me that you would use a Hitchens quote. He was such an impressive orator. I wish he were alive today to see what he would say about this type of meandering thought trainwreck.

That flawed analysis, not a study, that you lead off with was pulled by the University - because it was flawed. Several subsequent studies have indicated that there was a 20% increase in mortality related to COVID deaths.

The peak for deaths in the state happened in mid-August 2020 when 1,266 people died over the span of seven days.

Based on your supposition 1,266 deaths in the span of seven days is normally attributed to...? Munchausen??? Are you serious? I know two people personally that have died of COVID. The very REAL infectious disease.

I hope that you or any of your loved ones do not come down with a serious case of COVID that places you in the hospital.
