You can claim they’re inflated all you like, but the excess mortality figures show the real story, and we’ve been greatly exceeding the excess mortality threshold every single week since March.
None of this helps Biden one bit, particularly once President Trump announces the approval of a safe and effective vaccine. That’s why the Democrats are falling all over themselves to claim the vaccines are “rushed” or “dangerous”. They know that President Trump is about to take their months of fearmongering and overhyping COVID-19 and turn it all against them. And there’s nothing they can do to stop it but inject more fear into the conversation, this time directed at the vaccines.
Let’s wait until we can compare mortality of 2018-2019 to 2020-2021. I think most of the deaths have been pulled forward by just a few months.
