That's also a lie, and I can prove it.

@Lonewolf0161 @JohnM53093509 @BarnettforAZ 1,029,524 Americans are known to have died of Covid-19, so far, according to coroner & medical examiner determinations.
(We know Covid19 deaths were undercounted in the early days of the pandemic, but it's close.)

@Lonewolf0161 @JohnM53093509 @BarnettforAZ If the "survival rate" from Covid-19 were really 99.7%, it would mean 997 recoveries for each 3 deaths, i.e, 332.33 recoveries per death. Right?

So if the "99.7%" claim were true then 1,029,524 deaths would imply 1,029,524 × 332.33 = 342,145,143 Americans recovered from Covid19.

@Lonewolf0161 @JohnM53093509 @BarnettforAZ But the entire U.S. population is only about 334,000,000.

342 million Americans cannot have recovered from Covid19 when there are only 334 million Americans in total.

Now do you see how we can KNOW that "99.7% survival rate" claim is INDISPUTABLY a lie?

@Lonewolf0161 @JohnM53093509 @BarnettforAZ And THAT leaves one other question:

Now that you KNOW the anti-vaxers who invented that "98.7% survival rate" claim LIED, why do you still believe their claims about ANYTHING else?
