I’ve always believed some Americans WERE dying of Covid in the weeks and months before the first CDC “confirmed” Covid deaths in America. My analysis of mortality data from Michigan in the age cohort 75 to 84 supports this hypothesis.

Also, the spike in all-cause deaths beginning in April 2020 is eye-opening. This makes one wonder what changed after mid-March? Did the virus, all of a sudden, become more contagious and lethal or do other factors better explain the massive spike in all-cause deaths?

That's when Dr. Birx stood up at the White House dais and said ALL deaths even having a trace of covid would be labeled a covid death.

Believe me, I saw that as a landmark moment and screenshot the declaration when it came out. I knew then we were in a jackass rodeo.

Agree, but unfortunately, it was not "a trace of covid"; it was a positive PCR for SC-2. People with positive PCRs for SC-2 do not have "covid"... not even a trace. They just have a fragment of SC-2 RNA up their noses.

What is SC-2? My understanding is that with a PCR test and high cycle thresholds, you could have any remnant of a past flu or cold present and it would be interpreted as "positive" for covid.

SC-2 is SARS-CoV-2, the virus that supposedly causes COVID-19. In theory, the PCR test should only detect RNA fragments from this virus, but as you say, some people claim that it could be "positive" if people have RNA of othe viruses up their noses. The most important concept in my mind (which has been a principle of medicine always) is that a positive test for RNA up your nose is not indicative of having a disease. Irrespective of whether the PCR detects only SARS-CoV-2 or other viruses, having a positive test does not mean that the person "has COVID"... or that they are infectious with anything. It just means that the person has a fragment of RNA of whatever virus (big deal). Best.

Bill's talking about *all-cause* deaths, not just deaths attributed to Covid.

Suicides and drug overdoses, largely up in the 25-44 age range, have been rising since the early 2010s but really spiked in the Covid Era *genuflects* to the point where the average life expectancy has fallen in a few recent year-to-year comparisons, and a little overall the last decade.

Not because people are overweight - which I've heard as an explanation for this trend - but, rather, because we scared the Ever-Living Piss out of Millenials as kids with tales of Global Scorching and Cute Fuzzy Critters disapperaing forever. The don't want to have children, they don't want to work, they don't want to take part in society. They despair in hopelessness.

We were "encouraged" - Nudged, as we've seen recently - to be scared. Frightened to panic. If you were already desparate, our response to the pandemic pushed a whole lot of them over the edge.

Because a frightened populace is easy to control and less likely to rebel.

An then the Overlords realise that a terrified populace is very unlikely to be inventive, creative, dilligent, striving or reliable and trustworthy and is even more unlikely to be willing to take up arms on behalf of the Overlords' interests, abroad and domestic.

So what do the Overlords do then?

A) Get themselves a new populace, not yet as terrorised and terrified into depression as the original one.

Also A) Get themselves an Enemy to wage War upon.

Rinse and repeat.

Ed Dowds book dispels that theory his book has all the US data which shows no increase in mortality until 2021: after the shots. I do believe more people in the hispital died as they were murdered by remdesivir ventilation and medical malpractice That i agree with.

venting people and giving them remdesivir so they can drown may I been a factor
