Those things have not been refuted. The current covid testing is far too sensitive, often does not differentiate between SAR-CoV2 and other corona viruses and it is also very common for people admitted to hospitals for other things test positive and get counted as a covid hospitalization. Deaths for a long time were the same way. No matter how much you spin things and lie these things just do not change.
No this is wrong.
1) RT-PCR testing is extremely specific. A large majority of testing is still RT-PCR.
2) Cases, hospitalization, deaths, and excess deaths all closely correlated. When there weren't cases, there weren't excess deaths weeks later. When there were cases, there were excess deaths. This was true at the state and city level across the USA, regardless of 'lockdown' status or anything.
3) This correlation between postive tests and excess deaths held across the Western world. So either all the countries were cooking their books together (despite taking quite different COVID mitigation plans... see Sweden vs. UK vs. USA), or.. the tests worked and predicted hospitalizations and deaths quite well.
I'm sure there have been a handful of miscodings, that does not affect the truth of the matter.
The fact that there are still 'with COVID' truthers out there after 650k excess deaths is... surprising.
We know it is wrong in your head, but you are still just spewing the same wrong arguments thinking you are right. There is no point, it is impossible to stop you from fear mongering. Please stop yourself, you are not helping anyone.
