I fully agree that the danger of COVID-19 has been MASSIVELY overstated, but the claim that's it killed roughly zero people seems pretty hard to reconcile with the CDC's excess death data:

So they can fake ballots but can’t fake death certificates?

Well, yeah, pretty much. I imagine the cause of death listed on a death certificate can be "faked" relatively easily (e.g., people dying "with" but not really "from" COVID being listed as "COVID-19 deaths"), but the total number of reported deaths is a statistic that I'd expect to be pretty accurate for most states.

The issue is that the John’s Hopkins study found that the death rates of older people, those more susceptible to covid, are not meaningfully different than 2018(pre-covid) numbers. Essentially the “excess deaths” are statistically zero.

How to square the the JH study with CDC’s excess death tally isn’t something I’ve investigated.

Look at "Weekly Number of Deaths by Age" and then click "Update Dashboard":

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

It looks like there were essentially NO excess deaths so far this year among those under 25, a VERY small number among those 25-44 and then more significant numbers for the older age groups, and that those spikes corresponded pretty well with the April (northeast) and summer (most other places in the US) "COVID-19 death" spikes.

Damn science deniers! Why don't they just listen to the scientists? It's settled science...

Finally someone gets it. Not hundreds of thousands, not tens of thousands, not hundreds, not dozens: ZERO.

How is it that the data lie so far from our perception?

The word "lie" was not used by accident here.
