Think about THIS the next time Fauci, or some Democrat official continues to defend the initial Covid lockdown.
These numbers should, once and for all, dismiss the fiction that the lockdowns were no big deal.
Yes, The Daily Mail is reporting numbers out of the CDC that are suggesting the Covid lockdowns are STILL causing excess deaths, over and above the disease itself.
Seven thousand more Americans than usual died every week this year even as Covid-19 faded into the background, officials say.
It suggests more people are dying as a result of the knock-on effects of lockdowns, hospital closures and other curbs brought in during the pandemic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it anticipates total yearly deaths to be 13 per cent higher than the 3.2 million recorded in 2019, the final normal year before Covid-19 hit.
That would indicate around 7,000 'excess deaths' every week this year, a tally which could grow even higher as October and November data are incomplete, and a late Covid surge could still come, said Farida Ahmad, who leads mortality surveillance at the CDC.
These excess deaths aren't tied to Covid, but rather to the response to Covid from governments, media, and people told they have to live in fear of Covid forever.
The numbers show that there is a multitude of reasons for the excess deaths. One is missed medical appointments. Cancer, heart disease, and preventable illnesses have gone up as people have simply gone to the doctor less.
While lockdowns and business closures have become a thing of the past as the pandemic has ebbed, they have left an indelible mark on American society.
Heart disease deaths have tended to surge in tandem with Covid deaths - in part because the virus worsens the underlying condition and takes a toll on your heart, increasing the risk of contracting heart disease.
The pandemic also caused a dip in the number of people seeing their doctors for preventative care including screenings for heart disease.
Cancer diagnoses have also ticked up significantly due to lockdowns restricting people's ability to maintain healthy lives and an inclination for many to forgo preventative care services because they did not want to burden hospitals dealing with a flood of Covid patients.
Donald Trump warned us: We can't let the cure become worse than the disease.
However, it's clear that the cure HAS indeed become worse than Covid itself.
Dr Amira Roes, an epidemiologist and global health expert at George Mason University said: 'We're (still) definitely worse off than we were before the pandemic...'
'We all really would expect that the number of deaths — and the number of severe cases — would decrease, due to a combination of immunity from natural infection and vaccination ... and treatment,' Dr Roes said.
High excess mortality occurred because of drug overdoses and suicides, often referred to as deaths of despair. Overdose deaths hit an all-time high last year.
The CDC estimates there were a total of 109,673 overdose deaths in the year from April 2021 to April 2022 — a new record.
