I think you are a bit confused on the math. Let me clarify. As the sample shrinks into more specific demographics, the mortality can either increase or decrease depending upon the variables within each demographic. The elderly and those with co-morbidities have a higher mortality rate. If they are included in the sample, it would skew the overall mortality higher. Most people aren’t over 70 or with co-morbidities. If individuals under 70 without co-morbidities (most people) are the sample, the mortality rate decreases drastically.

Yes, over a million Americans died. All with covid, and an undetermined amount “from” covid. Given the preponderance of deaths occurring with people that have multiple co-morbidities, it begs the question of whether the person is truly the victim from covid or if it was their pre-existing ailment or disease that is primarily responsible for the mortality. More of an argument can be made of dying “from” covid if more younger, healthier people were represented in the mortality total.

Also, as another important thing to note, in the last 5 years, how many cases of influenza were there compared to the previous 5 years? It seems that there was quite a reduction in cases between 2020-2021. The CDC described flu activity as "unusually low" during those years. This was the lowest flu activity since the CDC began collecting data in 1997. Was this coincidence or perhaps flu and covid data were conflated? There was clearly financial incentive to do so. It really supports the theory that covid wasn’t actually as deadly as suggested.

Bill Gates is not a scientist, he doesn’t have a good track record, and doesn’t provide much in the way of validity. Ivermectin proved to be a valid form of treatment for many, whether the corrupt scientific community wants to acknowledge it or not. You are slowly sounding more informed and reasonable on the topic, so I am glad you are coming around, but you still have a ways to go.
