“You would think after giving over 250M Americans at least one shot this increased mortality rate would show up in the excess death data. But it hasn’t.” semimojo

“You need to consider the source of your information - the CDC, itself !” TIK

I looked at the link at Comment #11. It is definitely from the CDC, and if you wait patiently, eventually a beautiful graph prints out. It shows weekly US deaths from Jan 1 2018 to Jan 1 2023 (which we haven’t reached yet). I was unable to copy it and move to this comment. It also shows a smooth wavy trend line showing lower death rates in the summer and higher death rates in the winter. This line runs from 1/1/2018 to 1/1/2023. Starting about April/May 2020, there is an abrupt spike of more deaths which slides lower into early summer 2020, spikes upward around August 2020, lowers again and then has a strong rise over winter 20/21. Again the excess deaths move lower until another rise around August 2021, and another peak for winter 21/22. Again it lowers as summer 2022 approaches, but again has a mild rise later in the summer and on into winter.

At any rate this chart definitely shows increase over pre Covid trend lines. The interesting thing is the modest rise around later summer, and the greater rise in the winter. Also the smoothing of the increase in mid 2022 to now. I believe the reason for most of these rises and falls is due to Vitamin D, as gained by the body depending on sun exposure.

The first sharp rise was as Covid initially struck in spring 2020,
The rises in late summer 2020 and 2021 occurred as heat, especially in the south, drove people inside to enjoy air conditioning and avoid the hot sun.
The greater rises in winters 20/21 and 21/22 were due to the far greater lack of sun exposure.
For that matter, the usual rise shown or predicted without Covid every winter from 2018 to 2023 is also due to lack of sun exposure.
The milder rise for much of this year (2022) is partially due to the high vaccine rate, milder Covid types, and perhaps more use of Vitamin D3 taken orally.

An excellent study not only tested the original Dr. Zelenko 3 part early Covid treatment Protocol, but also proved that low cost IV Vitamin C (24 grams/24 hours) reduces days spent in hospital far better than high cost Remdesivir. When the scientists looked at the blood Vitamin C levels of their trial subjects, they found that NOT ONE had an OPTIMUM blood Vitamin D level. I will try to find this study and post the link in my next comment. [My Chromebook does not jump back and forth from tabs safely so I will post the link seprately.]

Here is the link for the study that shows the Zelenko Protocol works, Vitamin D helps, and IV Vitamin C sharply reduces number of days spent in the hospital. It also shows NONE of these subjects had OPTIMUM blood levels of Vitamin D, and almost all were deficient or very deficient in Vitamin D.

If you are not into the heavy science parts, read the DISCUSSION and CONCLUSIONS near the bottom of this long article. In Turkey, and elsewhere in Europe, blood vitamin D is measured in nmols/L (nanomols/liter), in the US, we use ngm/mL (nanograms/milliliter. The Turkish figures must be divided 2.5 to equal US figures. Thus Turkish OPTIMUM is 75 nmols/L or more, whereas US OPTIMUM is 30 ngm/mL or higher. My HMO Kaiser Permanente prefers a higher OPTIMUM RANGE between 50 and 80 ngm/mL. This higher D level seems to provide stronger immunity.

My recommendation is: get your blood Vit. D level tested, get advice on how much Vitamin D3 to take to reach an OPTIMUM level, and keep yourself and loved ones out of hospitals, especially this winter.

I posted this previously. There is likely a SEASONAL DIMENSION to cases and fatalities, and not necessarily a "surge" or a "new strain of the virus" or the results of triple-masking, vaccines, or statist policies.

The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.

Viruses gonna virus. Even non-viruses gonna non-virus. It's plausible this is driven by Vitamin D, or moving indoors and everyone inhaling someone else's exhale. But seasonality is real.
