Kinda mirrors the deaths due to COVID itself, if you follow voluminous stories of old age, car accidents, gunshots to the back of the head, lightning strikes and so on, with COVID attributed as the cause of death.
Total deaths normally increase by 0.3% - 0.7% per year. In 2020, they went up over 18%. A million doctors and 5 million nurses around the US from every imaginable geography and ideological background said they were losing patients to a new disease. It stands to reason they aren’t all engaged in a gigantic conspiracy together. They’ve seen this with their own eyes. It’s real. We’ve lost about 600,000 Americans to it. President Trump himself stated that the vaccines would “save millions of lives”. I don’t think he’s lying or exaggerating.
