CDC at the moment says 12% increase compared to the average of the last three years. Absolute number of deaths have been rising from year to year, sometimes with jumps of 90k. Sure…

It's relevant to your claim that deaths from other diseases have been reduced because of the anti-covid measures.

Or they are all counted as Covid. If you go to the physician with a respiratory disease, they will test for Covid first. Will they still test for the flu? What about people who get…

Better, but they should also adjust for increase in population sizes.

Classic to have the y-axis not start at 0 to make a curve look more dramatic. According to the CDC, there seem to be about 12% more deaths than the average of the last three years,…

Death by old age does not exist, it is just the older you get, the more likely it is that some disease or other will push you over. Only Covid somehow doesn't count. It's OK to die…

7500 deaths per day are average for the US. 9/11 caused 3000 deaths. So the US will probably exceed 9/11 deaths forever, unless population size is drastically reduced somehow.

Same type of claim, that is not supported by data. If you have the data, please provide it. In the same vein, you could assume Democrats are more at risk because they put too much …

It's not just a matter of parsing lots of information, you also have to collect the information, and interpret it correctly. Maybe one day in the future, a real AI will be able to …

"You can direct to HUMANITY to whatever ends" - then why don't we have world peace and end of hunger yet?

Those were different incidents, iirc he proposed shutting down travel when news about Covid came from China. The other "closing of the borders" is about immigration laws. I'm not f…

If you believe only Trump fans get Covid19, you are sorely mistaken. Sorry, I can't take you serious, you seem to live fully in the conspiracy theories of "your" side.

But weren't those lies perpetuated by mainstream media? Where, if not YouTube, would you find the counter narratives? And wouldn't people who believe the MSM not then considered th…

It's not irrelevant, as the discussion is about alleged effects of free speech on YouTube in the present time.

If water is free, it gets squandered.

"Good Goverance" - so, Socialism? Markets work better.

Your assumption that the fear does no harm is wrong.

"But they do belong together, don't they? I mean, they are all under attack by facts-denying militant groups fueled by anti-intellectual propaganda." No, that is just a strategy of…

"I have a belief system that's coherent and arrived at through my personal experience" Other people also have coherent belief systems they arrived at through their personal experie…

I said "we would all live in totalitarian states", and I also doubt your totalitarian state was created by YouTube propaganda. I'm more worried about the censorship leading to tota…

The 60% number sounds big, but how many people actually joined groups with extremist content? Without that context, the 60% doesn't say much. It also doesn't say why people joined …

I think the vaccine story has specific aspects for why it spread, not simply YouTube exposure. It provides good anecdotes, because many people get vaccinated and many people get ra…

It's not that there are no excess deaths in the US, the question is nevertheless if the scale is really so outrageous. And as I said, you have to look at the next year as well. It …

"antivaxing, antimask, covid-is-a-lie conspiracies" You are mixing things together that don't belong together. Covid is very new and scientific discussion is still ongoing. There i…

So now you are in favor of censoring things? I don't think the likes of YouTube are very typical for totalitarian states. The propaganda by totalitarian states is an entirely diffe…
