(1) it's deaths "with covid", not "from covid". in the US, you don't even need a positive test to be labeled a covid death. practically everyone who died who remotely could be labeled a covid death was labeled a covid death. the family got paid $12k and the hospitals made anywhere from $20k - $200k more just for writing covid on the death certificate. almost everyone counted as a covid death was extremely elderly or had terminal comorbidities. no one sounded any alarms because it was just relabeling the generalized death rate.
(2) even dumber, the CDC admits their own "excess deaths" numbers are based on estimates. if you look at their methodology, they took covid actuals and added those to historical estimates of all other causes, not actuals of all death certificates. this effectively double counted a shitload of death to produce "excess deaths".
well now the same problem exists but the other direction. either they have to admit their data and methodology was fraudulent, or that non-covid deaths are way up in almost every age group. but now it's too big because it's actually both.
because the stats are bullshit.
