US COVID Deaths In 2021 Have Surpassed 2020's Total... Despite Vaccines, Treatments

COVID-19 has killed more people in 2021 than 2020.
The virus was reported as the underlying cause of death (or a contributing cause of death) for an estimated 377,883 people in 2020, accounting for 11.3% of deaths, according to the CDC. As of Monday, more than 770,000 people have died from the coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University data. That means over 15,000 more people have died in 2021 than last year from COVID-19 – and there's still more than a month left.
This has happened despite the fact that last year no Americans were vaccinated (now 59% of all eligible Americans have had the "life-saving" jab) and some 17% have received booster shots...
The 2021 U.S. death toll caught some doctors by surprise. They had expected vaccinations and precautionary measures like social distancing and scaled-down public events to curb the spread of infections and minimize severe cases. But, The Wall Street Journal has its own explanation, suggesting lower-than-expected immunization rates as well as fatigue with precautionary measures like masks allowed the highly contagious Delta variant to spread, largely among the unvaccinated, epidemiologists say.
Among missteps, Dr. Abraar Karan, an infectious-diseases doctor at Stanford University, said, public-health officials failed to effectively communicate that the purpose of vaccines is to protect against severe cases of Covid-19 rather than to prevent the spread of infection entirely, which may have led some to doubt the effectiveness of the shots.
CDC has an excuse too, claiming that there was a larger undercount of Covid-19 deaths in 2020, when the disease was newer and a scarcity of tests made confirming some infections difficult.
Deaths remain concentrated in older people (81% of 2020 deaths were among people aged 65 and above, and 69% of the same cohort in 2021).
Still could be worse (and still could be if this latest trend continues in the US)...
“The vaccine is not a panacea,” said Ana Bento, an epidemiologist at Indiana University-Bloomington.
Well that's pretty clear now, eh!?
This wasn't supposed to happen... LINK

With joe in charge it’s to be expected. Cancer is still killing people and joe cured it a decade ago.

Imagine killing more people than a President who didn't have a vaccine.

It's hard to undercount Covid deaths when EVERY death was attributed to Covid.

Thats bullshite. Everyone that died in 2020 was being contributed to COVID 19 and everyone knows it.
This year they have just backed off of that same analysis.

But, but, but our resident said he had the solution. He just needed to be elected to say what it was. FJB! If the disease is that bad you would think whoever had the solution would give it no matter what. But alas, it's all about control.

They have also said that only about 6-7% of the deaths were “from COVID”. But if you died while “with COVID”, you were still counted.
Apply those same parameters to the average flu season and you’d get similar death counts every year.

Why is faux President* Biden and Fauci killing our citizens tho?

It could be argued with the implementation of the vaccine the death count has risen faster except among the unvaxxed

Yeah well where's the death count ticker at the bottom of CNN ,MSNBC. They used to tell us how many were dieing. Mmmmm wonder what changed that.

I’m not arguing for the vaccine, but I have had one person I know die of covid in the past year. From March to November 2020, three people I knew died of covid. For me and my circle, covid is 100% on the decline now.
