In any given year during the past decade in the United States, more than 2.5 million Americans have died—from all causes. The number has grown in recent years, climbing from 2.59 million in 2013 to 2.85 million in 2019. This has been due partially to the US’s aging population, and also due to rising obesity levels and drug overdoses. In fact, since 2010, growth rates in total deaths has exceeded population growth in every year.
In 2020, preliminary numbers suggest a jump of more than 17 percent in all-cause total deaths, rising from 2.85 million in 2019 to 3.35 million in 2020.
The increase was not all due to covid. At least one-quarter to one-third appear to be from other causes. In some cases, more than half of “excess deaths” were attributed to “underlying causes” other than covid. But whether due to untreated medical conditions (thanks to covid lockdowns), or drug overdoses, or homicides, total death increased in 2020. In other words, total excess mortality is a partial proxy for covid deaths. Whatever proportion of total deaths covid cases may comprise, it stands to reason that if total deaths decline, then covid deaths are declining also. Moreover, looking at total deaths helps cut through any controversies over whether or not deaths are properly attributed to covid.
What has been the trend with these “excess deaths” in recent months?
Well, according to data through mid-March reported by Our World in Data and by the Human Mortality Database, excess mortality began to plummet in early January and is now back to levels below the 2015-2019 average:..... Excess mortality peaked the week of January 3 and then it began to collapse, dropping back to summer 2020 levels by mid February. By March 14, excess mortality was at 1 percent above the 2015-2019 average. All this occurred even as very few Americans were vaccinated. When excess deaths began to drop, less than one percent of Americans had been fully vaccinated. At the end of January, less than two percent of Americans had been fully vaccinated. By the end of March, when excess mortality returned to 2019 levels, 15 percent of the population had been fully vaccinated.
As of May 11, only one-third of Americans had been fully vaccinated, although "experts" insist 60 to 70 percent of the population must be vaccinated before we can expect to see a drop-off in deaths like that which occurred earlier this year.
Yet, as of the week of March 22—excess mortality was below both the 2015-2019 average and below the total for the last year before the official beginning of the covid pandemic (2019)... It's likely these facts won’t stop “public health” bureaucrats from continuing to insist that another “wave” of covid deaths and cases is right around the corner. These activists have many strategies for pushing vaccine passports, mask mandates, and even continual precautionary business closures. They’ll tell us that new covid variants are sweeping the globe. This is what they were saying in January, for instance, when Vox was telling us it was too dangerous to even visit the grocery store. At least one expert in late January warned us that the coming weeks would be “the darkest weeks of the pandemic.”
It’s now clear such predictions were spectacularly wrong. By late January, totals deaths were already in precipitous decline.
But what about the lag in data? We're only looking at data up to mid-March because it tends to take several weeks for estimates of total deaths to become reasonably reliable. Yes, that data shows a big drop off. But what about the numbers for April and May? Should we expect those death totals to surge again with a promised “fourth wave” of new covid death?
If we consider the more recent case and death totals attributed to covid, we see few signs of a new surge.
Although Anthony Fauci and other government employed technocrats have been unable to provide any explanation at all for it, the fact remains that months after Texas and Florida and Georgia have either abolished or greatly scaled back all social-distancing and mask mandates, cases and deaths are generally declining, and total deaths per million (attributed to covid) remain below what we've seen in states with severe lockdowns.
The projections were all false as was most of the data throughout. It was one big lie but get your “safe and effective” gene therapy to get back to “normal”.
Those vaccines are really working. Keep them shots a comming.
Another article that doesn’t understand cause and effect.
How so?

LOL....... How about DUPLICATED..
That's from the article and that is correct. The state numbers back up the federal numbers.
Nobody died before covid. Covid was the beginning of death, and it killed everyone.
I refuse to particpate!
How about repetition Nazis? Were there any “typos”?
SO WHAT! If you saw it before, then just pass it by.
I am an avid reader and commenter on this blog and I had not seen this before (just a couple days ago, CURRENT! not YEARS ago)
Not only that, but it is THE BEST evidence of COVID hysteria I have seen. REAL DATA. PROOF!
I keep seeing headlines of celebrities proclaiming that they refuse to be around people who have not been vaccinated. In every case, I would not want to be around them either, for any reason.
Now that is strange. If the vaccine does not protects the person who receives it, then why take it?
I am not against vaccines. Some years ago I had the pneumonia vaccine, but I never went around wondering if the person I am next to had the same vaccine, or got mad because some person refused to get the vaccine.
I know some people who have taken the Covid vaccine. They seemed relieved of the worry of catching the virus. I have never seen them voice concern over being around people who have not been vaccinated.

So, Trump was in on this ‘hoax’ as well?

President Trump never advocated to shut down the world’s economy. As we now know, many of his “ advisors “ like Faucey, and close staff were never Trumpers. A fact: the world has NEVER ever in two thousand years decided to shutdown down economies, businesses, food production, hospitals, churches, etc for a less than lethal virus....they never isolated the healthy, only the sick. Think long and hard about this sinister agenda.
.... Well ... We all know what this means ......
..... Yup ..... Sounds like it's time to release a new altered variant of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, that is immune to the previous vaxines, into the World Population to keep this Crisis Alive for another couple of years or So ...... You know ... Kinda like a Virus version of The Great Reset ......
Everyone would do well to watch Tuckers interview, it explains much

Trump was president from the emergence of the WuFlu in late 2019 until Jam 2021. The world was not shutdown immediately upon Biden replacing Trump. Most of the damage was done while Trump was in office. If you want to call this whole WuFlu pandemic a hoax, then you have to face the fact that Trump was the leader of the free world when it happened.
So now you’re blaming Trump for all the problems.
Figures.
I would expect a DUer to do that.

Ha!!! We called this ..... MONTHS ago..
First....they’ll compliment Trump on the Warp Speed of these ‘vax’s’
Then, when things go South....due to not enough testing/adverse effects, bad economy, etc. .....they’ll blame Trump.
Geez. As predictable as a bot signing in on FR at 10 a.m.
