I started the Unz article when it came out but didn't read it. Ron can drone on and on.
There is a simple way to shed light on the question "vaxxing deaths or covid deaths?" Compare health statistics of the vaxxed to purebloods, corrected for age, health, etc. As far as I know Ron didn't mention this, and neither did you.
When the covid panic started I had one question: Were there more deaths than average? If it was a pandemic there would be more deaths. It was hard to get the information. All searches swerved into "covid deaths." Turns out there were not more deaths. All cause mortality was within a normal range and remained at normal levels throughout the panic. There were very slight bumps here and there, but nothing truly abnormal. And the largest increased in deaths was in middle age people who were not the cohort that was being categorized as covid deaths. The US population was higher at the end of the panic than at the start. Hence, not a pandemic, but a panic.
Unfortunately, for political reasons clot shot status is not studied when people get sick or die, and autopsies of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome victims are not being done. Ron's perfectly reasonable statement that we do not know if the deaths are a result of long covid or clot shots becomes problematic if shot status and autopsies are being suppressed. This suppression shifts the requirement for burden of proof onto those who say the harm is caused by covid. Otherwise, why hide the data? If the data showed purebloods dying at the same or greater rates as the vaxxed it would be all over the NYT and WaPo.
It's remarkable to me that a prolific historian like Unz would trust a profession that's the third leading cause of death.

Many thanks for the article. Ron Unz is very silly at best.
