“a national increase of 17%, of what? gullibility?
the highest it's ever increased in 10 years was 3%. of what ignorance?”
Total deaths in the US per year have also climbed exponentially.

2020 saw the highest death rate increase in ten years by 17.7% The highest percentage before that was 3.3%... if we were to take the previous years total deaths (2,854,838) and subtract that by the second highest average increase of 3.3% (94,210), that means we're left with a significant increase in deaths by 409,766 deaths!
According to the CDC, we had about 375,000 deaths attributed to Covid in 2020.
I find it very unlikely that 409,766 died from uncured illnesses...
Unless, again, that uncured illness was Covid.
You're going to have to account for more than just 20,000 OD, and 350,000 people afraid to go to hospital. That just isn't going to cut it.
You have 400,000 odd deaths attributed to a new disease and an unusual increase of 400,000, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to spot the correlation.
