    "Covid deaths" are 16-20x inflated.

    Not in the USA. About 60% deflated, estimating by excess deaths: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e2.htm

    There are horrible incentives and motives in place to mark normal deaths down as "covid death" when the death has nothing to do with causality from covid.

    Someone tried to tell me that in saidit before. It turns out it's not true. There has been additional funding to help with the treatment of CoVID, but the claim that the funding directly tied to cases is simply a misunderstanding of a statement about what the funding per CoVID patient came to on average. The funding isn't distributed per case though.

    When you take a closer look at numbers without the propaganda echo chamber trying to wage a duplicitous narrative, then you see that the excess death rates are within statistical expected norms.

    Not even close. Central estimates of excess deaths is about 660,000 for the USA, since 2/1/2020 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
