You shouldn't secretly wonder if we should have ignored the "public health crisis". I'm vocally adamant that all cause death wouldn't be statistically different if we had just told sick people to stay home this whole time. Furthermore the global and more specifically the US economy wouldn't have gone into the crapper because of the idiotic response to covid. Let's not forget the unprecedented transfer of wealth that occurred during this time from poor and middle class up to the wealthy. When study after study shows that wealthy people live longer than poor people, our overlords decided to make a crap ton more poor people. A likely minimum of a hundred million people in the US alone will die possibly at least a year sooner than they should have in the coming couple decades and it will be ignored even though it's catastrophically worse than the well overstated 700,000+ covid deaths with an average age of right about life expectancy.

Wait for it, the deaths from the injection/boost hasn't barely started. The most deadly reaction is the killing off of the immune system. That will lead to more all cause death for years after people stop playing the game.

And the thing is, most people don't need to be told to stay home of they're sick. The actual issue is your employer recognizing your right to stay home if sick.

Someone posted the deaths in the US a week ago from last year compared to the former year, and the total came up smaller. So the many deaths attributed to the virus were in the normal number of the deaths that could be expected, just as you say. You noticed the move of the money, and now the government has opened another side door, that under Trump had been closed. Yet more money to the very rich.

I am expecting the excess mortality to "mysteriously" start increasing...

Excess deaths in the U.S. have risen neatly with covid surges over the past 18 months. They have been driven primarily by covid, the correlation is clear as day: https://www.usmortality.com/
