And the numbers for total deaths from all causes ? Do you believe these ? It is literally like talking to a brick wall at times.
And yet you refuse to believe the 'excess deaths' are from any other cause than the virus...

I have never said this. In fact I said the opposite multiple times.
What I have said is you can gauge the scale of this event vs previous events using the same numbers for each example. Previous events like periodic flu spikes that occur every 5 to 10 years or once in life time events like 1967/8 flu epidemic, or once in hundred years events like 1917/8 global pandemic all have excess deaths in their total deaths all causes numbers that were not directly from the specific virus concerned. The comparison in terms of relative scale is sound. It allows us to compare like with like to get an idea of the scale of this current event relative to previous ones. It can be done without having to use any 'dubious' figures at all, just known counts of 100% certain status (dead or not dead). Some refuse to accept this because such does not give them the result they want so instead they use numbers that are dubious while ignoring the ones that are not and what they can tell us. This is not rocket science.
As long as you ignore the point I am making, claim I have said things that I have not said, then yes I am likely to respond to correct you. What I have been saying consistently is simple and clear. That months on you still misrepresent it is not my problem or fault. It is yours.
And yet the report on suicides (apologies Tim, I didn't realise you had already posted it) is irrelevant because I don't personally know anybody affected...?
