did 1 million plus die of covid or did they die of something else while merely covid positive?That's all well and good. Leana Wen's a smart person, and very fuckable for a woman her age.
seems to have been more than some small debate on that topic

why would hospitals over-count covid cases? money.
Government pays hospitals more money for Covid-19 patients than non-Covid patients

That's what leads most to believe that the number of deaths attributable to the COVID pandemic in the USA were UNDERCOUNTED, in 2020 at least.
So what else could have caused the increase in deaths?
The vaccine wasn't around in 2020. It can't be that.
Yeah, there were some deaths attributable to deferred medical care. But 350,000 to 450,000?
You could blame it on people going stir crazy because of lockdowns and committing hari kari. But suicides actually went down.
And yes, some people did off their old ladies when they were cooped up 24/7 - homicides increased by 30%. But like the flu explanation you all proposed, the numbers are small.
You're left with COVID, the disease as an explanation, unless you believe some kind of massive nationwide cover up occurred, that involved participation of doctors, hospitals, and county and state health officials, in addition to people at the federal level. Somehow they'd have to come up with about 450,000 fake deaths. It would be kind of the reverse of what George Parr did in Duval County, or what Richard Daley did in Chicago, when they got dead people to vote.
Why did you post the ACP link? It contradicts your theory.
