Deaths weren't on par though. We added half a million over 2019. That isn't a small amount by any measure. Cause of deaths aside, as they only attributed 300k or so to the Rona, which doesn't take into account the disappeared flu. Much increase in drugs of course. But yeah. 2021 will likely be more deaths due to the vaxxed. I don't think final numbers come in for a bit.
>Unless another strain incompatible with the immunity provided by Omicron and Delta emerges,
I think that's a possibility. But my personal theory has always been that this is a deployed bioweapon. The numbers being this high recently looks suspect. I've been exposed to the so-called Omicron and my immunities worked. I would feel funny for a day, like mildly feverish and then better. Meanwhile, the sickies around me would be down for a few weeks with sneezy coughy achy heads.
