Two things to consider perhaps—

Panicked people start visiting hospitals (I might have Covid. It’s dangerous. I need medical attention)

Hospitals adjust treatment protocol in respiratory diseases, proactively intubating people and using respirators even if not needed in response to panic?

I think you were right to start looking in North Carolina. It hasn’t been covered but the triangle locked down as hard as anywhere in the US and held it longer than almost anywhere in the US. It’s also the most likely origin point in the US given it was a Duke/UNC collab, alongside the WIV that is the most likely origin point for SARS-CoV-2 (understanding that likely something like 95% of the “coronavirus” that was detected globally was not related to SARS-CoV-2). I believe we see small but sustained increases in all-cause beginning in the summer/fall of ‘19, which aligns with the identification of SARS-CoV-2 in waste water in Italy, another collaboration site.

NYC, like most everywhere else in the world simply sacrificed a huge number of high risk individuals at the alter of panic. And that’s why the mortality data looks exactly like you’d expect it to look if there was a war/human sacrifice event.

What is the hypothesis? Lockdowns themselves caused the excess mortality? Panic stricken people rushing to hospitals in fear for their lives overran the medical system and delayed care for those that otherwise may have survived? Respirators and the narcotics people are put on in order to withstand that procedure caused the deaths?

I don't know if this helps but if you want to be puzzled by data there's some interesting going ons here: https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html remove COVID and only look at P&I (how or why they group Flu with Pneumonia i dunno but they do) ---P&I is currently killing more than COVID

If it's COVID induced pneumonia (the rebuttal i receive often) why are they not counting them in the COVIDs?

Love this post. Facts and data are far more useful than they will admit. Lol

This isn't entirely on-topic, but I wonder how many of the people discussed in the post who died in March and April 2020 would have died at some point in the following 2 years, regardless of whether the virus existed. We hear about covid nursing home deaths, and how a majority of nursing home residents die within 12 months of move-in.

There are so many questions.

We were misled on purpose so often n the past 2 plus years.

Great work Jessica. How long ago did we start talking about this? >2 years ago? Over at PANDA we have reached similar conclusions. There is nothing natural about those early spikes. There is clear evidence of sc2 prior to official narrative. There is clear evidence of pre-existing immunity. Mortality in Bergamo followed political boundaries vs demonstrating natural spread patterns. It goes on and on. One thing we are certain of. Whether natural or lab origin, it didn’t arise from a single point source in location and time and then quickly cause these spikes.

This seems to support the claim that the key driver of deaths in New York at that time was the aggressive use of ventilators and other abusive hospital protocols, rather than the virus itself.

We have a respiratory virus that spreads most often in households so we locked everyone in NYC in their apartments to slow transmission and, oddly, the virus took off.

This is great data, the type I've been looking for. My theory is the same as yours. I think circulation or spread began in probably October 2019 - with many more people having an ILI at some time in November, then with sustained widespread and severe ILI throughout almost all of December and January. People were "sick" and I think some percentage of these sick people did have COVID. But I wouldn't expect to see a conspicuous spike in deaths because Covid doesn't kill many people. However, I would or might expect to see a small increase in all-cause deaths beginning in these months, especially in December and January and maybe February. I expect this because I know from my own reporting of several people who had Covid who were very sick and almost died. My thought would be - they didn't die (they were lucky), but some people must have died - especially those 80 and older with pre-existing conditions. I think I've found good data from Michigan that shows a noticeable increase in deaths in the first 13 weeks of 2020 in the 75 to 84 demo. Not huge, but atypical compared to the raw numbers from the previous five years in the same weeks. I'd love to email you this week-by-week data and get your thoughts.

In your graphs, it looks to me like there could be evidence of this from an apparent "spike" in "hospital deaths in late 2019 (beginning week 49 through 52). Also in Weeks 2-6 2020.

Also “heart” deaths Weeks 51 and and 52 2019 - I see a noticeable spike.

Excellent data. I'd like to exchange emails with you on this topic. My email is:

Excellent article. The plot thickens.

There is yet another way the lockdowns and restrictions could be iatrogenic, by putting selective pressure on the virus to favor deadlier and more contagious strains.
