Today El Gato Malo, praise be unto him, wrote a piece on the how an economist was potentially being misleading in a chart showing the number of excess deaths per capita by state vs. the number of shots per person. Here is the screenshot of the tweet that El Gato uses as his launching point
Since this scamdemic began, the "coastal elites" have trashed the South (and Red States in general) through data manipulation. Early on, long before the magic injections, the NYT obtained cellphone location data during that first southern summer peak, and whined that the selfish rednecks were going to make the plandemic worse for everyone because we weren't staying within a few blocks of home like the healthy and virtuous Yankees.😒 They ignored facts like the entire country is not pedestrian/public transportation accessible, driving a few miles in one's own car does not expose anyone to anything anyway, masks are silly, and that seasonality was the cause, not behavior. We use a/c so we get summer respiratory viral spread. Sure enough, the birth got more peaks of their own. Anti-South bigotry is nothing new, Pollack just piled on. Very unoriginal.
I live in Geezerville. Lol
I point out similar here (this time with "covid deaths") in this piece I wrote for Panda, inspired by Ethical Skeptic.

“El gato malo, praise be unto him”
Sure “paws be unto him” is more appropriate? :)

Great work - thank you!😊

CDC corrupted Excessive Deaths back in May
...data is still Partial, so Pollack's graph is of corrupted data
This (intentional?) Lag is serious trend in 1st world countries
Only 11 of 23 nations have June 5th excessive death data in Our World in Data!
