    What point is there to showing facts to cultists who'll dismiss them as fake news?

    So that's your excuse, then? Ok, your failure to provide your "facts" is noted!

    I think I've shown that I am open to discussion if you've got something. But if you don't, well I totally understand.

    Let me say that COVID is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. this year. I deeply question at this point that it has increased its ranking to number 1 or 2.

    I've been posting articles from reputable sources for years now. Not my fault you find facts "partisan" and "untrustworthy".

  6. This is as of today. Because of the latest death toll. 3rd place is so November.

    I only see third but from October. If Trump's CDC is to be trusted (lol), heart disease seems to be leading. Then again I'd have to see how those heart deaths differ from the last two years and if they're being shifted from COVID

    According to the CDC the two top causes of deaths in the U.S. are (with numbers)
    • Heart disease: 655,381
    • Cancer: 599,274
    I don't believe we have gone above 300,00 for documented COVID deaths yet.

    I'm not saying you haven't posted anything reputable. But we were talking about the Scientific Method.

    Hypothesis:
    Novel virus kills people.
    Testing:
    Millions infected
    Results:
    Hundreds of thousands of deaths above previous year averages
    Conclusion:
    COVID causes an increase in deaths exacerbating the odds of those with comorbidities

    The above was clear to anyone familiar with the scientific method back in December of last year (at a much lower death count mind you).
