when you get in a car accident, suicide, overdose, cancer, etc and its all classified as covid, that may be a reason. you should probably look deeper. also, during that period of time there were no reported flu deaths. explain that to me.

So I know we’ve seen reports of deaths where covid is listed when they die in the car accident, and that would make for an okay argument that the covid deaths are inflated. However, it does not explain the number of excess deaths over expected or the increase in deaths over the prior years. If the number or excess deaths were more in the ballpark of 50k (which is high end on flu deaths most years), then you could make the argument that it is no more deadly than the flu, but that number is near a million, and I think we can agree that that would require death rates for all other causes to be abnormally accelerated.
