Over 50,000 COVID-19 cases in the US. Daily deaths back over 400. Even prominent Republicans are speaking out against Anti-Vaxxers. They know they're going to have to own this.

There was a Canadian study recently that said most people that died of covid were highly likely to have died sometime that year regardless of covid.

You mean your True North study analyzing stats from 2020?
Again, it doesn't take into account variants and the worst case counts seen during the pandemic this Spring
Because younger people were getting sick, the death-rate was less, but it didn't mean Hospitalization wasn't skyrocketing.
This is why lockdown measures were required! You didn't do anything to stem the infection death rates would have skyrocketed. Hospitals would have had to triage people and unplug those they thought may not survive.
Like seen in the US in the winter, before they got the vaccine.
Lockdowns were a preventative measure, and they worked.

Another reason death in Canada was less than a country like the US, was because public safety measures stayed in place for most of the pandemic.
And they still are in place.
The US lowered their guard before reaching a good vaccination rate and now there are parts of the US back to where they started.
