At this point it is what it is. So I'm just going to sit back and watch which approach will win in the end. It will be very interesting to me to see exactly what side effects and death counts will be attributed to the vax in the years to come. They will eventually get to real numbers because they will need to know what to do in the future.
I don't think the "real" numbers will ever be known. The FEDs allowed healthcare providers to get a higher reimbursement rate if COVID was one of the coded diagnoses for care provided. There wasn't any requirement for a positive COVID test, so anyone could legally get a high reimbursement for care by even thinking that COVID could possibly have been a contributing factor.
Like every pandemic in history, the young, the old, the weak, and those who had existing health challenges were the most vulnerable.
