Do you know what Open Access infers?

I suppose probably not, the audited journals are not going to risk their reputation allowing this rubbish to be self-published without peer review.

Nobody is going to seriously claim that HCQ is "the missing link" when it's given with a barrage of other drugs including other powerful antibiotics. Perhaps the circular referencing is a hint, it may be worthwhile spending some time reading up on correlation versus causation, and how much work is required to get from a correlation to a causation, the answers won't be available this year!

As opposed to some the figures you've quoted below, like;Hmm, officially India report about 20K deaths from 700K cases, that 20/700 * 100 = 3%

The thing that is extraordinary about India is that it is not like Brazil, at least yet, the strongest drivers of COVID-19 deaths versus cases are socio-economic! Of course India, unlike yourself and Brazil, isn't in denial about COVID-19, India took it very very seriously right from the start.

You think I made that up?

14 deaths per million. It's a piss in the wind to the other stuff they've faced through history.

And the chart is BS by any metric - you can't simply omit a dozen or so of the top causes of death to make a point.

It's clear you have an agenda, so be it.

Thankfully, the data speaks for itself.

The thing that is a bit disturbing is that you looked at the Flourish graph and immediately focused on millions of deaths that should be counted above COVID-19, that is if the chart had every possible means of death listed. Trivializing and discounting the thousands of people who have died from COVID-19 related complications, and even in our own town many more who may in light of the post restriction reckless behavior that is promoted by similar outlooks to your own!

You've constructed a disturbing and destructive model of reality that gets reinforced every time you read some questionable facts or dubious data relationship, while immediately disregarding the real figures and lives lost. The problems isn't the figures, COVID-19 isn't a conspiracy, it's a pandemic that is killing people and you should consider those with friends and family who have been harmed or perished before you trivialize it further.

Are you really a scientist? Did you fail maths at school?
