You don't think I'd notice 15 people in my social circle dying? If so, that's rich.
Per Dunbars number
How about we go by "per actual situation"? I'm involved in several communities, as well as my job, my hometown people, my friends from university, and my neighbors. Social media makes it pretty easy to keep tabs on everyone.
But would you be able to notice on your own?
I'd say so, yeah. We're just hitting the three year mark, so we should start seeing some pretty steady deaths. Most everyone in my social circle is jabbed at least twice, including their families, so if deaths were on the rise, I'd surely notice pretty quickly.
I'm also in a populous city in the US, so definitely would be seeing some blowback even on the streets.
I notice your link though compares 2019 with 2021, which was peak Covid, where excess deaths were sure to be high. Is there data from more recent years?
how would you know if a lot of people died? Would you trust the media to tell you? How frequently does news travel by word of mouth independent of the internet, which is controlled?
Personally, I know dozens of people in my circle who have been vaxxed, twice, some up to 4 times over. I'm also pretty well traveled in my city. I feel like if a lot of people were dying, I wouldn't need the media to tell me about it.
Probably because it's more accepted, and people are more comfortable coming out as gay.
Do you think straight people are becoming gay?
