There were 3xs the amount of people in the US in 2020 compared to 1920.

Covid was devastating to the elderly. Naturally, we had many elderly here in the US.

"Covid was devastating to the elderly."

No worse than the seasonal flu. The infection rates and the death toll were deliberately skewed by the feds paying increasing medicare payments an extra 20%. If a hospital patient's bill totaled $10,000 the hospital would make an extra $2000 for putting 'covid' down instead of 'flu.'

Congress increased Medicare payments for inpatient COVID-19 admissions by 20% during the public health emergency (PHE), established coverage and payment for administering COVID-19 vaccines, and increased payments for telehealth services, and HHS waived certain regulatory restrictions, such as allowing for expanded coverage of Medicare telehealth services. Congress also provided accelerated or advance payments as loans to providers participating in traditional Medicare to ease cash flow disruptions during the pandemic.

Healthcare was devastating to the elderly. Keeping them from their loved ones while sick, putting them on ventilators, keeping ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine from them.

How many elderly did healthcare officials and professionals kill in the name of science?

Only because we wiped out the flu (har har har) which is what they were going to die of.

First off, we did not reduce flu cases from 75k to 1k. Impossible. Complete BS. A lot of these "covid" cases had to be the flu.

Very bad treatment killed many of them, assuming they were covid. The so called test has at best a 50% false positive. I'll also wager that a large percentage would have died from the flu with or without the presence of "covid". My point, there is no way that we can have any accurate statistics on this because so many lies and fabrications. An informed guess is likely more accurate than the statistical garbage that's been spewed for the last 4 years.

I’m elderly. My MD didn’t think I needed a vax.

My friend who’s 5 years younger got every shot and booster, then got covid 4 times, once quite seriously.

Immune systems count.
