here's a good look at excess deaths and the causes (deep dive, but worth it)

what's happening in china is really bad... (using the search function on most social media gets some sad and sobering results)

The interesting part is the increase in pro-clotting factor which is what folks have been saying recently: there may be some micro-clotting going on.

Comment from Walgreens earnings call today: A the study from the Commonwealth Fund showing that total industry efforts have prevented 18.5 million hospitalizations, saved 3.2 million patient lives, and prevented 120 million COVID infections. This adds up to an estimated over $1 trillion in medical cost savings through the U.S. vaccination program.

Perhaps in hindsight, the gate-keeping function of the 'old media' was overall useful.

It was only those that could mobilize resources that enjoyed regular access to popular media. Most editors and publishers emphasized coherent writing, fact checking and civil behaviour.

Unfortunately, the education system tends not to teach critical thinking skills until university and even then not all university students are exposed to it.

Yes, the "letters to the editor" wasn't literally everything that anyone wanted to post. Having an editor is a good thing, although those not chosen might claim bias/politics/racism/etc. And not always incorrectly.
And, there's no money in critical thinking (generally). Attention getting -> clicks -> advertiser dollars -> profit!
Nowhere in there was a mention of quality.
