Thread 🧵 How did they die? Canadians died at unprecedented rates from 2020-2024. Public officials insist that Covid was the main cause, but government data reveals significantly inflated Covid deaths. Lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and their downstream impacts largely drove these unexpected deaths. Our latest report, “Post-Covid Canada: The rise in unexpected deaths,” uncovers the truth and reveals lessons Canadian politicians and the public must learn. Don’t miss out on the report’s highlights below. Read the full report here: https://t.co/fhh9QeZiD9 1/14
Unexpected deaths spiked post-Covid: Above-normal or “excess deaths” were much higher in 2022, after lockdowns and after most Canadians took the Covid vaccine, than during the first two years of Covid. Unexpected or “excess” deaths in Canada by the year: · 2020 - 14,950 · 2021 - 13,510 · 2022 - 31,370 (with 80% vaccination rate) · 2023 - 13,960 (still high) Why are excess deaths higher after Covid and the vaccines (2022 and 2023) than during the two years of Covid (2020 and 2021)? Our latest report answers this very question. 2/14
Trump’s tariffs on India may be partly explained by who funds his politics. Our study of two decades of Indian American lobbying in the US shows a strong, consistent Democrat lean, with Trump-1 scoring among the lowest ever share from Indian Americans (1/n)
Despite claims that the “NRI Uncles” have been rooting for Trump en masse since they support the political right in India, we find relatively less support among Indian Americans for Republicans in the US. There are 6 Indian Americans in US Congress - all are Democrats.
Today, in a new episode of Every Accusation Is A Confession, the UK Lawyers For Israel (who blocked me, a literal nobody) have been scrambling as ppl tear strips off their claims that IAGS genocide scholars are all liars, but *their* scholars are tip top. A short thread 🧵
Actual genocide scholars don’t recognize names from the UK Lawyers For Israel signatory list.
You haven't so much invented such a solution, as you have discovered the coordinate system in which the problem becomes trivial.
This is why, to solve a difficult open-ended problem (like AGI), you must always start by asking the right question.
The most elegant solutions look inevitable in retrospect. They aren't some complex chain of tricks you've engineered out of nothing, but rather a simple abstraction that faithfully mirrors the shape of the problem.
