There were clear spikes in Jan. 2021 when most second waves either were subsiding or in other cases just beginning.
And there's always a lag in deaths regardless. It takes weeks for someone with a severe covid case to die, so where there might be a spike in cases in late december, there would then be a spike in deaths about 2-3 weeks later. Also, Covid only represent a small portion of total deaths for EU countries when compared to every death statistic. Natural deaths surpass Covid significantly, so there isn't going to be such a pronounced bump in the death charts.
There are clear spikes in the flu and pneumonia, as well. They overlap the Covid spikes, and the CDC stopped reporting on them because there were so few of them (flu and pneumonia spikes). Lol.
And you are so sure of this, because Covid is fake obviously. Whether you believe it to be the flu, pneumonia, or Covid - it was something. And the chance of a severe influenza strain when the H1N1 pandemic was the worst of influenza aside from the original Spanish flu is pretty low. Millions of deaths, that isn't just a bad influenza strain, that is something new. And even if you don't believe that, again, you would need to concede that something is causing the excess deaths. Unless, you want to go so far to to suggest the government is randomly whacking people to inflate the death statistics
Here is the clincher in all of this. Isolating the virus is the most important thing, so we know what we have, and can work with it.
All of the standard isolations of the virus are not true isolations. Rather, they are CRISPER-like editing of mucus materials from a body, to
make the virus. The term "isolation" has been modified in meaning.
The two best forms of real isolation - separation of the virus from other materials - are still Koch's Postulates (1888 or thereabouts) and Rivers' Postulates (1937 or thereabouts). Both of these actually separate the virus from other materials... true isolation. Rivers', though it can produce mistakes once in a while, is probably better overall.
I could go into several reasons why Koch's and Rivers' are not desirable... one of which is that it takes too long to do this kind of isolation. But... by now we should have at least several researchers who have done it, both in their notebooks, and on video. This shows that a whole lot of medical people are at least negligent, but maybe criminally negligent.
But you won't know all this except that you investigate it.
