There've been a few posts recently about how total deaths in the US this year are down compared to previous years. I was curious, so I ran the numbers myself based on the same CDC data that other posters and their sources supposedly used.
I pulled the last 4 years of weekly raw data from the CDC here: https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html
Then I tallied and compared the totals for the first 47 weeks of each year (these numbers are TOTAL DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES in the US):
2017 2515944
2018 2551868
2019 2559485
2020 2886361
Based on this data, total deaths are up by over 300,000 this year vs each of the last 3 years, which were each within 50,000 of one another.
Whenever I mention these stats on conspiracies.win I get downvoted, but nobody ever has a response, so I think I'm on to something!
What do you think could've caused this?
I am more inclined to believe the conspiracy here is that the CDC is falsely inflating 2020 death counts.
Yeah that's totally fair, definitely top of mind for me too. But I've seen a few posts here recently that used CDC data in support so figured I'd look into it.
In one year the CDC changed their count of Lyme disease cases from 30,000 to 300,000 because they finally had to admit it was a fucking epidemic that they have been lying about. The CDC is a corrupt, lying organization — just like the rest of the government.
