But to humor you, OK what exactly has caused over a million people to mysteriously die in the last couple years if it wasn't COVID?
We know there is excess mortality. We know there are deaths from covid. We know there are deaths with Covid from events, gunshots and car accidents. We know from actuarial tables there are 3 sigma increases in deaths among some working age populations. We know here in the US, for the majority of the epidemic, the treatment for COVID only started if you were bad off enough to be in the hospital; unofficial off-label treatments have been widely demonized. We know there are alleged weird adverse events from both Covid, and the vaccines. We know some medical treatments for COVID early in the epidemic are now considered contrary to Standard of Care for COVID. We know many people are claiming new disabilities from Covid, and also, the vaccines. We know many people have lost their jobs for refusing vaccination, particularly in healthcare. We know drinking and substance abuse have gone up. We know extreme isolation which many people have experienced has gone through the roof. We know that many industries have been devastated by Covid. We know many people are depressed, and suicide rates have gone up. We know supply chains have been damaged, and some essential supplies may be transferring in greatly reduced numbers. We know that many families have had to do virtual schooling, and have much higher stress levels. We know that many businesses in the US are still treading water and having problems making payroll, with 20% of small businesses missing rent payments in the last 3 months. We know many people are becoming homeless, and some people are likewise going hungry, or starving. We know some states, NY & NJ in particular, ordered at-risk populations of eldery to sequester their vulnerable infected, with the vulnerable un-infected, and to continue to accept covid infected referrals from hospitals. We know that hospitals and potentially others, have received renumerations based on covid cases, diagnoses, and cause of death that may disproportionately effected ICD coding used by hospital administrators.
Given all of above, it is dangerously cavalier to point out one singular cause of deaths only.
Occam's razor says your wall of text is just rationalizing bullshit.

This is 100% true [1].

This is also true. Every hospital in the US gets paid higher medicare rates for Covid patients. Even factcheck.org admits the truth of the statement, despite trying hard to "debunk" it [2].

It's definitely a conspiracy to simultaneously claim that "hospitals" were deliberately misdiagnosing non-covid deaths as covid deaths while doing high mental gymnastics to rationalize while excess deaths exceed covid deaths and the excess comes exactly during the infection waves.
misdiagnosing sounds like your words not mine. Stay on topic. The topic is billing and coding.
Hospital administrators are going to pursue whatever is their best billing and coding option. That is logical.
Why would they submit for a finger injury that pays $500 when they can get a covid bump-up for $2000?
>Why would they submit for a finger injury that pays $500 when they can get a covid bump-up for $2000?
Because if this was routinely done, there will be some sort of proof. Where is the proof? Is there a third conspiracy to suppress it?
I am on topic. The topic is the conspiracy nutting around covid which you epitomize.
In the case of an unknown pathogen potential first treatments may prove to be wrong. Likewise, vaccines flawed. And for this there is a great history of flawed vaccines, such as the Polio Vaccine Live Virus debacle [1] the Simian contamination of Polio vaccines [2], or perhaps the Swine flu [3]. How much more so with a novel therapeutic technology that is not well understood, or which there appears to be troubling side effects? A vaccine mandate can make it even worse [4]
Much of the destructive influences Covid has had was not because of the virus exclusively, but because of the economic effects from mandated lockdowns [5], and potentially, contributions from mandated vaccines [6]
Whether you agree with Covid lockdown economic destruction or not, people are writing about it [7] from many different perspectives [8].
I provide much evidence. Let's hope you can respond with more than an ignoble response lacking any historical merit.

Your "evidence" (to the extent it is evidence at all) is cherrypicked, for lack of a better world, sh*t.
Each claim I wrote is well supported by evidence.
You just dismissed something out of hand. Sorry, no blanket wave-away is going to cut the mustard here. And, there is no need for profanity.
Strangely, the original submission is about "Long-term cardiac pathology in individuals with mild initial Covid-19 illness (nature.com)" which goes right along with the points I have made.
