>The numbers can be manipulated.
He's doing exactly that.

>These are - how do I put this delicately? - big fat stinking lies. They are off by a factor of at least five, and probably 10 or more.

He demands perfection from numbers for other things - but jsut throws out shit like that.

He also calls himself "The Covid Contrarian" and is on Tucker Carlson all the time.

He wants to take the terms, redefine them, then prove his conclusion which is "Covid is not bad."

Oh, and this article is fun:

Swipe:
He has blamed the vaccines for causing spikes in severe illness, by pointing to data that actually demonstrate their safety and effectiveness.

He has blamed the vaccines for suppressing our immune systems, by misrepresenting normal immune-system behavior.

He has suggested that countries such as Israel have suffered from their early vaccine rollout, even though deaths and hospitalizations among vaccinated groups in Israel have plummeted.

He has implied that for most non-seniors, the side effects of the vaccines are worse than having COVID-19 itself—even though, according to the CDC, the pandemic has killed tens of thousands of people under 50 and the vaccines have not conclusively killed anybody.
