LINK

quote:

”Therefore, according to Briand, not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, but it has also not increased the total number of deaths.”
“All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary,” Briand concluded.


I know many have hypothesized that this was the case. Link is from a Libertarian site, so I’m not sure of the scientific validity.

They’ll just say the lockdowns prevented a bunch of other deaths

From November of last year.

Certainly the full 2020 numbers have been tabulated by now though?

A little bit of research shows that 23% more people died in 2020 than what models expected. That's pretty significant.

That would be quite interesting if true.

Maybe it is, but they need to show exact sources of complete numbers. When will the CDC list the totals for 2020?

We never had a pandemic. We had a virus strand weaponized to save China’s arse and get rid of Trump.

This past year will go down as the biggest charade/overreaction in the history of this country. And it's not even fricking close either.

Hard to die when you can't leave the house for a year

The article is dated in November. The oversight is the delay in validating deaths.

The current estimate for deaths in 2020 is 3.4 million deaths LINK

Now compare that revised figure with the historical trend identified in your link:

2013: 2,596,993
2014: 2,626,418
2015: 2,712,630
2016: 2,744,248
2017: 2,813,503
2018: 2,839,205
2019: 2,855,000
2020: as of 11/14 total deaths= 2,512,880

Here's some additional data that you might find interesting:

The flu season that gave us the highest amount of deaths was 2017-2018. It is estimated that 45 million people in the US contracted the flu. 61,000 died. So 0.1% of people who contracted the flu died.

Now let's compare that to Covid rates.
30,897,028 tested positive
558,028 deaths - 1.8% died

They were right. Covid has been far deadlier than our worst flu season.

Raw data spreadsheet of weekly US deaths going back several years

To summarize, total deaths from all causes by year:

2014 - 2,663,708
2015 - 2,693,027
2016 - 2,725,761
2017 - 2,804,261
2018 - 2,831,836
2019 - 2,845,793
2020 - 3,414,838

Obviously, population is not constant, so death rate per 100k population, by year:

2015 - 839
2016 - 844
2017 - 863
2018 - 866
2019 - 865
2020 - 1032

You can argue that the response was disproportionate, or not necessary, or any number of other arguments and I would probably agree with some of them. But to try to argue that nobody really died is just plain stupid.

Because in any other year, Covid deaths would have been deaths from:

Flu
Pneumonia
Heart attack
Diabetes
Stroke
COPD
Aneurysm
Etc
