There was a nefarious plot to greatly exaggerate COVID deaths and also greatly minimize vaccine deaths.
CDC admitted that only 6% of reported COVID death were strictly due to the virus. All others had "comorbidities". So let's take a look at those numbers (since reporting has not been drastically changed to give a true representation).
Today Worldometer has this number of deaths for the USA: 623,799. Six percent of that is only about 37,500. The population of the USA is about 330 million. So what percentage of the total population is that? Only 0.01%. I will even allow for 10 times that number and that is only 0.1% of the population.
Let's assume it is 370,000 for the sake of argument. Flu deaths are 262,894 (let's say 263,000) and cancer deaths are 4,380,969. Why is no one shutting down the world for cancer? If we go with the higher number how do coronavirus deaths compare to flu deaths? They are about 40% higher. But that is not the true number. They are probably less than flu deaths.
But even if they were equal to flu death, there was absolutely no need for any lockdowns. People ignored flu deaths in the past, and they could have treated coronavirus as another flu. What we should remember is that had the HCQ combo pack and ivermectin been vigorously promoted, those deaths could have been averted very easily.
