This is why there was almost no marginal affect on death rates which is indicative that deaths for other causes were being reallocated as Covid. It is pretty blatant actually
Not exactly. The new system that started using for COVID was based on positive test results vs. the symptoms-based approached previously used. Most of the people who died "from COVID" under the new system were likely exposed to it at some point, but acquired immunity relatively quickly and thus displayed no symptoms. They could still have tested positive though.
Deaths weren't being "reallocated", they just started putting COVID on death certificates for people who died and tested positive, regardless of how much impact the virus actually had.
Biggest proof for me of funny business was when the demographics of deaths came out. Mostly old with chronic conditions, and those chronic conditions had been in the top five causes of death in the US for decades.
So heart diease, cancer, and chronics respiratory problems like COPD all of a sudden took a backseat to this new mystery virus that for some reason doesn't kill people who are young and otherwise healthy? Yeah nah.
What really gets interesting is if you look at the hospitalization metrics for COVID: People with asthma and COPD weren't actually over-represented in the cohort for what you'd consider to be a primarily respiratory virus. Diabetics, however, were.
Not trying to discount what you're saying, but I think it's interesting that the people who would be most likely to die from a respiratory disease were hospitalized at the same rate as other people adjusting for their age group.
Right yeah. I'm just pointing out that chronic respiratory problems were present among COVID "victims" and otherwise account for large numbers of dead in the US per year.
When we see those that were otherwise healthy, tested positive, and actually suffered symptoms deal with few lasting effects, there's no way any number of dead can convince me that it was COVID killing most of these people and not their chronic conditions that, up until 2020, accounted for hundreds of thousands of dead per year.
Asthma also isn't all that lethal on it's own either. COPD is a much bigger problem, especially once they come down with pneumonia.

Another way of saying that is to ask how many people died from all causes and compare that to previous years.
