For all the "it was duh lockdowns and deh vaxx" commenters I recommend Maxim Lott. (Much content has appeared today and yesterday; we've been short on it the last couple weeks. We don't make the news; we just report it.)
We learn that the US, under Trump and Fauci, did well at disclosing where an excess death occurred and whether it was CoVID. The largest discrepancies I note are Turkmenstan, Bolivia, Belarus, Algeria - in short, Third World hell holes which present themselves as Better Than That. Two disappointments here are Egypt and India from which I expected better.
Which is not to leave the US off the hook. Trump himself actually was Better Than That. But his voters aren't. The GOP base want the disinformation. A Republican aiming for higher office has to lie to his own voters or else he has to lie to the public at large.
