"More than 150,000 people in the UK have now died within 28 days of a positive Covid test since the pandemic began.

A further 313 deaths were reported in the government's daily figures on Saturday, taking the total to 150,057.

The UK is the seventh country to pass 150,000 deaths, after the US, Brazil, India, Russia, Mexico and Peru.

Some 146,390 new cases have also been recorded in the UK, with the more transmissible Omicron variant driving a surge in infections."

6. Did you read the whole story?

Remember Klareven's point in #4 below - that most deaths occurred before vaccines were widely available - and that the story points this out. And that that the story mentions more than once that the vaccine has hugely cut the death rate. Do you still think the article is "worthless"?

4. Most of the UK deaths occurred before 3/31/21 when vaccines were not available or in short supply

Most of the cases have occurred since.
