Is this sarcasm?

Since the case numbers and deaths are all higher now than they were pre-vaccines, I'd hazard a guess and say we'd have a lower death count.

How so? Our Liberal gov't up here funds the CBC, The Toronto Star and likely many others, and that is a well known fact.
If yours stateside are not funded directly from your gov't, then those that do the funding definitely have links to a certain political party.
Do you believe the likes of CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and many others are not left leaning propaganda sites? Do you believe they are unbiased, non-bipartisan and always tell the truth and the whole story?

Our gov't has been liberal for about a year now, before that it was conservative. Was the CDC in on the plot when the CDC was conservative?

Do right-leaning media sites like Fox, OAN, etc always tell the truth and the whole story without being biased and non-partisan?

What media sites do you go to for unbiased, non-partisan information?

Since Trump was the leading force behind Operation Warp Speed, he must have been in on it too, no? Damn RINO.

I have no idea?

No, of course not, but some are worse than others. It's of my opinion that CNN is by far the worst, with MSNBC being a close second.
Fox news is also biased, I get that, but in my opinion CNN is so far out in left field they are beyond the bleachers whereas Fox, imo, are at least still in the ball park.

I think it's fairly well known that some of our US agencies are more liberal while others tend more conservative. And overall, averaged out, they equate to moderate. Obviously the top heads that may be more one way or the other are easily replaceable, but career bureaucrats are passionate about doing what's best.

While I don't believe in a deep state, Trump was on to something that some career bureaucrats know how to slow down new directions if they disagree with their new acting director.

Also, while I don't buy into conspiracies, don't forget that big oil also owns most green tech. And it takes an exorbitant amount of carbon and fossil fuels to make green technology. Its just propaganda to argue politicians are creating jobs.

It is possible that case numbers and deaths would be even HIGHER if we didn't have vaccines?

Too bad this nationwide data is all FAKE or it might support your point. You see, "THEY" want you to believe it because it furthers "their" plans for world control. Of course, you can look at the underlying data too, it's transparent, but I am telling you the underlying data is also FAKE, every hospital that collected it is part of the conspiracy, every scientist that analyzed it is part of the conspiracy, and naturally the government is the leader of the conspiracy, so I urge you to disregard it. But just in case you're curious/brainwashed/coopted/suffering from a mass psychosis:

During October–November, unvaccinated persons had 13.9 and 53.2 times the risks for infection and COVID-19–associated death, respectively, compared with fully vaccinated persons who received booster doses, and 4.0 and 12.7 times the risks compared with fully vaccinated persons without booster doses.

An unvaccinated person was more than 50 times as likely to die from COVID as a fully boosted person during that time period.

I appreciate the reply. "Links to a certain political party" is rather vague, but a quick search reveals that current Comcast (owner of MSNBC) CEO Brian Roberts has donated five-figure sums to both Republican and Democratic politicians over the fifteen years or so. (Although more to the latter than the former.)

The outlets that you mentioned are more left-leaning than FOX, for example, but I do not believe it is accurate to describe them as "left-leaning propaganda sites." You might find it interesting to compare them to more left-leaning news outlets such as Democracy Now! ( https://www.democracynow.org/ ) , Mother Jones ( https://www.motherjones.com/ ) or The Nation ( https://www.thenation.com/ ).

You asked, "Do you believe that [news outlets] are unbiased, non-bipartisan and always tell the truth and the whole story?"

No, they are absolutely biased and rarely, if ever, tell the whole story. I believe this is true about every single one of these sources, including the three I linked.

I find MSNBC more left biased than CNN. Not that CNN, or anyone except the Wall Street Journal LOL, doesn't lean some way nowadays.

Right. It seems to me also that the task of unpacking a perceived media "bias" nowadays is also made more challenging by changes in the way news is consumed. The motivation to generate unique page views and clicks creates its own kind of bias in a way: more "controversial" content tends to generate clicks and comments...
