Interesting, eh? The areas of the States less likely to be vaccinated are the ones with more excess deaths.

There's no context to "died of".
Generally speaking you die "with" COVID and another issue leads to your death. Very few people die "of" COVID.
Kind of like people don't die of "suddenly".
So you think that if Grandma dies because she has covid, and she wouldn't have died without it, but she didn't die of covid, then it doesn't count?
Well it's best to know when a nurse may go rougue:https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/mobile/nurse-charged-after-long-term-care-home-investigation-in-brampton-1.5468632
They aren't immune to psychopathy
And combining death stats is a great way to lie to people: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cdc-director-walensky-criticism-updated-guidance-coronavirus-deaths
Your 18 month old news article references three anonymous Twitter users - plus "others", also anonymous - who don't like her attempt to clarify the situation.
Plus you, of course.
Not exactly a shit-storm is it?
Meanwhile, I'm waiting to hear what you think about Grandma.
You seem to be dodging the question. It's about dying of vs dying with.
Grandma is healthy. She gets covid and it knocks her flat. In her weakened condition she dies from an opportunistic infection that would not normally have taken her out.
She's dead. Tell me you do not believe she should be counted as a covid death.
As for your rogue nurse: what does 11 murdered LTC people have to do with tens of thousands of extra dead people in Canada?
