I'm guessing that you believe the Mass Formation of multiple countries coming out with the Build Back Better moniker at the exact same time was just a freakish coincidence too?
Which leads me to believe that the fact that the median age of death from the covid was ~85 years old, with multiple comorbidities, was also a freakish coincidence as well. This ain't hard math.
Don't get your panties in a wad just yet. We are sending in a crack hit squad, more like a death squad - kinda like The Immortals in the movie 300 - to delve the depths of that very thing.
Release the ACTUARIANS!!
Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64
The head of Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.
“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.”
OneAmerica is a $100 billion insurance company that has had its headquarters in Indianapolis since 1877. The company has approximately 2,400 employees and sells life insurance, including group life insurance to employers nationwide.
Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.
“And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said.
“Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.”...

Uhh, you've got it backwards. From your article, and my link below, Davison, the CEO of the insurance company, actually said the reason deaths in the 18 to 64 age group are up is because the CDC and others are UNDERCOUNTING Covid deaths:
Notably, Davison said that even if COVID-19 is not listed on a person’s death certificate, that doesn’t mean the virus didn’t play a role. For example, Davison said a person can contract COVID-19 and recover, but the virus could have triggered a separate illness that eventually leads to death.
“It may not all be Covid on their death certificates, but deaths are up in just huge, huge numbers,” Davidson said.
Micah Pollak, associate professor of economics at Indiana University Northwest, told The Guardian that high rates of mortality with COVID-19 along with disability are likely to continue to go up as more people catch the virus.
“We really don’t know what the tail of this thing looks like. The further you get out [from infection], the longer time you have to potentially develop some kind of complications,” said Pollak.
Complications from COVID-19 aren’t well understood, as many people suffer from lingering symptoms sometimes referred to as long COVID-19. The CDC says some post-COVID conditions can last weeks or even months after first being infected with the virus that caused COVID-19. Commonly reported symptoms vary widely, from difficulty in breathing and/or thinking, joint pain, mood changes, sleep problems and changes in taste or smell.

This is apparent from comparing TOTAL 2020 deaths to TOTAL deaths in previous years. 503,000 more people died in 2020 than 2019. The CDC said only 345,000 of them died from COVID. What about the other 158,000? (503,000 - 345,000 = 158,000)
Well, maybe 30,000 or 40,000 more died because of the increase in the population of the aged. A good number of the rest probably died in 2020 because of COVID, that was uncounted as COVID.
Your belief that the median age of people who die from COVID is 85 is wrong.
See this:
https://www.wboy.com/news/health/cor...-for-11-a-m-3/
The average age of people in West Virginia who died from COVID declined from 77 in January, 2021 to 67 in October, 2021. The average is probably lower than 67 now.
Why? Probably because older people get vaccinated and boosted in higher percentages than younger people, leaving younger people more exposed.
The only decent argument to be made on your side, which nobody here has made, is that COVID is causing other problems with health care, and maybe mental health. People with heart attacks and the like aren't always getting prompt and quality treatment when the hospitals are overloaded with COVID patients for example. I'd argue, like before, so what. Yes, maybe COVID the virus didn't cause the deaths, but the pandemic did.
You have a talented brain. Unfortunately you engage in too much mental masturbation. If it were just masturbation your dick would have fallen off by now. But with mental masturbation your brains fall out. And that's not a pretty sight. Your religion is COVID denial. I've shown you the truth and the light, and you are always welcome in the Free Markets Church of Tiny. We're running a special this week. For only $5,000 you can have your soul saved. For an extra $10,000 your own planet in the hereafter, after you pass away. And for you, Why_Yes_I_Do, I'll throw in some attractive virgins at $100 a pop to populate that planet. That's a lot better deal than what you've been paying for those worn out old scags in AMP's.
