I haven’t delved to much into it deciphering the numbers. Honestly the numbers are literally useless, to many people died with Covid instead of because Covid, they where strictly ventilating in the beginning which has something like a 9/10 chance of death. They purposely put sick people in nursing homes wiping them completely out. I def get what your are saying though. Both sides have propaganda. Deciphering it is a pain in the ass. I personally think the excess deaths come from the Covid measures. I would look at suicides and overdoses to. All that together could honestly be the increase.
