They will change the subject or mention pre-existing conditions was the cause while ignoring the fact that most who died from covid had 2 or more pre-existing conditions when they died.
1) Deaths were in decline starting December, before any appreciable number of people had been vaccinated and, indeed, 0 were fully vaccinated. The slope of that decline didn’t change for months.
2) That curve, and slope, looks a lot like last year before any vaccines existed.
3) The CDC issued an edict that defines how many PCR cycles will declare an infection for vaccinated people. That cycle count is not the same as for unvaccinated people. It will be increasingly difficult to declare an infection in vaccinated people, for reasons having nothing to do with vaccine effectiveness. At least until the India variant arrives.
4) Last year the bottom of the decline was late June. Then a small surge in deaths began early July, mostly from LEGAL immigrants on tourist visas fleeing the Covid situation in Mexico. They were not illegals. They were tourists who went to the hospital ASAP.
5) Heat drives people indoors to air conditioning. Expect an uptick in deaths soon.
