Exactly what I was thinking. IIRC he was regularly accused of spreading misinformation.

So it turns out much of the excess death is in fact related to various forms of cardiovascular diease; the memes weren’t just misinformation.
My goodness. Whatever could it be. If only they’d stayed up-to-date maybe they could have been spared these terrible effects of Covid.

For middle-aged adults (50–64) in this 13-month period, the relative excess for almost all causes of death examined was higher than that seen for all ages. Deaths involving cardiovascular diseases were 33% higher than expected, while for specific cardiovascular diseases, deaths involving ischaemic heart diseases were 44% higher, cerebrovascular diseases 40% higher and heart failure 39% higher. Deaths involving acute respiratory infections were 43% higher than expected and for diabetes, deaths were 35% higher. Deaths involving liver diseases were 19% higher than expected for those aged 50–64, the same as for deaths at all ages.
