“Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.”"But it turns out, the same number of deaths would have happened with or without Covid 19."
That's not what that says. It says there wasn't an abnormal spike in any age group; the distribution among age groups was not significantly different. Covid behaves the same as almost every other fatal malady: it kills the weak, which usually means the old. So the covid deaths look just like all the other deaths, distribution-wise. It says nothing about excess deaths.
A 6% increase in deaths, or a 600% increase in deaths, if distributed the same across age groups as other causes of death, would maintain the same proportions. You're just reading something into that article that is not there, i.e., proof of your covid-hoax fantasy.
Whoops!
Since the COVID death toll for healthy people under age 50 is essentially ZERO, the data would absolutely have to show a HUGE death spike in the 50+ age group.
The data does not show that. That means something is wrong with the data.
However, we do agree on one point.
JHU professor Genevieve Briand states:
“All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary.”
The CDC disagrees. CDC estimates 360,000 excess deaths, and 261,000 deaths above the upper bound excess estimate.
