Johns Hopkins Newsletter, COVID-19 Excess Death Analysis
Johns Hopkins University recently retracted an article from its newsletter that analyzed U.S. death rates during the pandemic. The analysis, presented by Genevieve Briand, suggested that total deaths in 2020 remained consistent with previous years, with COVID-19 deaths potentially offsetting declines in deaths from heart disease and influenza. Although the university pulled the article citing a need for further review, the content remains accessible via the Wayback Machine.
