I disagree, having an open and honest debate on the topic is actually useful. We should be able to disagree yet continue the dialog.


If the data was truly in dispute, it might be a worthwhile debate, but this paper is published by two people that have never published in the field before, and it's riddled with obvious and blatant errors. The fundamental claim, that there was no excess mortality in 2020, is clearly wrong.

This is nothing that is worthy of having a debate over - it's just disinformation spam. It would be like replying to every piece of spam email you receive.


Do you mind explaining why this research paper being on the HN front page would suggest that HN is a joke?


It attributes the excess Covid deaths to the vaccine, not the virus.

The "principle of Abduction" made the front page a while back. Someone made a nice explanation of it, which was essentially that any thinking person needs to have some arguments they investigate and some they dismiss out of hand. This argument is reasonable to dismiss out of hand. What's next flat-earth-ism - but a "serious academic paper"?


Ah, I see people see this argument reasonable to dismiss out of hand.

I wasn’t aware that the C19 vaccines have been scientifically approved safe for use! Since these mRNA applications have passed numerous tests on humans with no significant side effects and harm, it must be indeed a preconceived brief to think otherwise!
