Again, stop with the straw-man arguments. I never said it was a cold or a hoax, in fact very few people did. The government response to how deadly this virus is is indeed a hoax (covid average age of death identical to national average age of death). Yes I do believe the death count is overstated. Using the old CDC metrics, the total deaths would be closer to 10k. Obviously that’s too low, but the 352k last year is also likely way too high. But when you incentive hospitals and nursing homes to count them as deaths for increased pay, and you are running a scare campaign, well...
There are 127,000 deaths above and beyond the reported 2020 covid death toll. I'm not saying they're all from Covid but there's no way they're all suicides and medical problems that went untreated. Some of them are for sure but not 127,000. I'd say about half of those deaths are Covid related. There were only about 10,000 excess suicides after the 2008 crash to keep things in perspective.
And even if it's only... 1,000 of them, that still lays to rest the argument that there was some kind of giant nationwide conspiracy to inflate the death count. It was deflated, not inflated. Covid has killed more people than the official count, not fewer. period.
All that BS about how they were calling motor vehicle accident victims Covid deaths to pump up the numbers is just that, BS. And don't even tell me that you weren't playing right along with that narrative. You're still playing along with it.
