The numbers are indeed wrong... but in the other direction. Covid deaths counted as pneumonia deaths. Excess death way more than official counts.

Who's gullible here? Everyone sees what they want to see.

Indeed. I am not sure why your assertion that the numbers are wrong in one direction is any better than someone else saying the opposite. Neither of you believe the data.

Why should anyone mindlessly "believe" the data? Politicians are not infallible, and they are not the most honest people.
