Covid will be a leading cause of death indefinitely

The 2400 deaths a day due to cardiovascular deaths want to enter the discussion.

You've had 2 1/2 years and your "efforts" failed.

Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
Heart disease: 696,962
Cancer: 602,350
COVID-19: 350,831
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 200,955
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 160,264
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 152,657
Alzheimer’s disease: 134,242
Diabetes: 102,188
Influenza and Pneumonia: 53,544
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 52,547

Says the cowardly libertarian who does nothing for society, but will show up in my ER begging for life saving covid meds. No way you live with another person.

Right now about 400 people a day are dying with covid infection... More and more though it seems like covid is not the main cause of those deaths... Just do a Google search and you will see a lot of reputable doctors arguing that covid is not the main driver of most of those deaths

So it's certainly debatable but it might be as little as 100 people a day are actually dying from covid... And most of those people are over 80...

n the vaccines were quite effective at reducing the number of deaths...

Well, sadly, our government agencies can be very deceptive. You gave data from a more recent year than those I provide below from 2017 and 2018, before the Covid pandemic. OnePeterFive, a Catholic blog, published an article, Abortion and the Exclusion of Reality, contrasting the radical inclusivity sought for those suffering gender dysphoria, with the radical exclusivity applied against living unborn humans, and sometimes even against their mothers. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided a glaring example of this exclusivity against the unborn. What follows is from the linked article:
_________________________________________

The CDC reported 612,719 abortions in 2017 from “[s]elected reporting areas” (excluding California, Maryland, and New Hampshire) and 619,591 “legal induced abortions” from 49 reporting areas in 2018. Yet the CDC, in reporting that the “10 leading causes of death in 2018 remained the same as in 2017,” twice failed to identify direct (or “induced”) abortion as a leading cause of death. I have distilled the CDC’s leading causes of death data, which it based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision [ICD–10], into the following table:

Rank | Cause of death | Number in 2017 | Number in 2018
– | All causes | 2,813,503 | 2,839,205
1 | Diseases of heart | 647,457 | 655,381
2 | Malignant neoplasms | 599,108 | 599,274
3 | Accidents (unintentional injuries) | 169,936 | 167,127
4 | Chronic lower respiratory diseases | 160,201 | 159,486
5 | Cerebrovascular diseases | 146,383 | 147,810
6 | Alzheimer disease | 121,404 | 122,019
7 | Diabetes mellitus | 83,564 | 84,946
8 | Influenza and pneumonia | 55,672 | 59,120
9 | Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis | 50,633 | 51,386
10 | Intentional self-harm (suicide) | 47,173 | 48,344
– | All other causes | 731,972 | 744,312
Table 1: 10 Leading causes of death in the USA in 2017 and 2018 according to the CDC.

The 612,719 abortions in 2017 and 619,591 abortions in 2018 that the CDC reported should rank second – above cancer (malignant neoplasms) – among the ten leading causes of death that the CDC listed in both 2017 and 2018. And because the abortion data for both years captured only the abortions in 49 of 52 reporting areas and for other reasons (for example, illegal abortions) may have been further underreported, it is possible that direct abortion was the leading cause of death in the USA in 2017 and 2018. Yet the death tolls from abortion for both years are absent. (There is an additional complication: natural miscarriage almost certainly ranks among the leading causes, too, though it would be difficult to accurately quantify and is also missing from the CDC’s rankings.) Note something else striking: in January 2021 the Guttmacher Institute reported that “132,680 abortions were provided in California” and “[a]pproximately 862,320 abortions occurred in the United States” in 2017. Inserting that national datum from the Guttmacher Institute into the CDC table, direct abortion would rank above diseases of heart as the leading cause of death in 2017 (as I write, I do not find Guttmacher Institute data for 2018). The CDC’s publication of the leading causes of death for 2017 and 2018 rendered direct abortion invisible and was an exercise in exclusivity, not inclusivity.

Fear porn from the OP.

This stuff will just go away one day like Trump said.

cold/flu viruses have long been a leading "cause of death" for people already dying of an average 4 comorbidities. The only change is there was no massive testing program or protocol to blame it on the virus instead of the other illnesses.

Fun story from early 2020, How Covid Will End. I'd argue we're better off than this forecaster guessed, and that deaths from Covid are misrepresented. I think nearly everyone would test positive for it, so if you get hit by a car and die, did Covid kill you?

The fight against the coronavirus won’t be over when the U.S. reopens. Here’s how the nation must prepare itself.

I have had it 3 times. Covid is clearly not going to kill me while I am young. I will die hopefully at an old age. If Covid takes me out at that point so be it.

Google 'excess deaths'

why would they show up at a hospital for covid if they keep their body healthy (and assuming they aren't 80 years old)? you'd just carry on as normal or worst case, take a couple of days off work.

Says the cowardly healthcare worker who is on record saying he would let unvaccinated covid patients die in his ER if he had the choice.

What a man!

But only for people age 80+ who have four other deadly health conditions.

It's all fear mongering.

Wakey wakey

Google medical errors.

Poor people get it a lot, especially if they live in high density high cost of living areas with roommates

Kind of weird calling these ineffective when they have prevented well over 500,000 American lives.

Well, I suppose if you don't place any value on 500,000 American lives then your comment would make sense.
