Would 17k be considered a bad flu year prior to cv19?
I have been suspicious of the stats from the beginning, my feeling for the US is under 50k...

Never in recent history has the use of a preposition mattered so much more. The difference between “from” and “with” has dictated global and often draconian policies that negatively impacted the economy, our society, and our body politic.
NONE!
My brother who died in a hospital in Birmingham, Alabama in Nov of 2020, had ONLY Covid-19 listed as cause of death on his death certificate. There was no mention of any other cause at all. Yet he was in last stage Liver failure and had for over 6 months been unable to do anything but lie in a bed and for the previous month in a nursing home bed. In a routine Covid test at the nursing home, he tested positive and they took him to the hospital where he died the next night. He was never on a respirator and the only “covid” symptom he had was shortness of breath which he had for the past year. For some reason they saw fit to list his sole cause of death as Covid. I guess we all know why they did that.
I strongly suspect that the vast majority of “covid deaths” were people who were already about to die of some other terminal condition like cancer, emphysema, etc. and it just happened that they got the cold currently named “covid” and it pushed them over the edge instead of the usual suspects like pneumonia, the flu, getting slightly cold, a fly buzzing in the room, etc. I just got over the cold they named “covid” and it was a nothingburger.
OK, but how many of those can be directly attributed to a deadly medical protocol instead of sound medical practice?
