Boiler, I did that exact thing four years ago, twice in fact, in response to your requests, and you told me that my data wasn't correct--because it made you out to be a liar. So I'm not doing it now--UNLESS--you promise to admit you were wrong.
The US had twice the rate of covid dates per capita during the pandemic. That period includes 2020 and 2021. Now this is where you say that the people who died in 2021 passed while Biden was President, so Trump shouldn't be blamed for that. But they died because of Trump's blunders in letting the disease spread unchecked for an entire year. So even if they didn't die until 2021, it's still his fault.
I think I'll give you a link to the data, just so you can look at it and deny it. Johns Hopkins--what do they know?
We had a higher rate of deaths than Spain or Portugal, but not double. However, our death rate was TRIPLE that of Germany, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and other Western Europen nations. The average of the nations with lower death rates is 0.5%. Our rate was 1.1%.
