I firmly believe that any increase in deaths in the past 2 years is from hospitals essentially mercy-killing or otherwise killing sick patients of various kinds. It's easy enough to do -- just give them extra morphine. No one cares, apparently.
And don't forget the fact that ventilators are what killed many patients. Remember that certain individuals WANTED that intervention, knowing it would kill them. They even forbid treatments that were considered promising, safe, and beneficial EVEN AT THE TIME for Covid. But no, they wanted ventilators and more deaths.
And each one that dies gets called a "COVID death" so the hospital gets extra money from the Gov't. Wash, rinse, repeat. Profit. Cha-ching.
