You are making up claims, it is incredibly obvious if you spend even a little bit of time looking at the data that deaths and infections were underreported, not overreported. Stop spreading blatant misinformation. Of course in some cases deaths were misreported as being due to COVID. And there may have been a financial incentive in some cases. But the impact of that is orders of magnitude less than the number of deaths and infections that were missed due to low testing. Just look at the number of excess deaths. The picture is pretty clear.

The issue with claiming that the pandemic caused these extra deaths is that we don't know if it did.this is because the reactions to covid (lockdown) could have just as easily impacted people dying. It's not so simple so as to attribute all excess mortality to covid.

  Of course, that on its own is not enough to prove that all of the excess deaths are due to COVID. But when you have the count of COVID deaths, and they more or less match up with the number of excess deaths, I think it's a reasonable conclusion. Sure, there are excess deaths not accounted for and we can dig into those, but overall, the numbers match up. There's a bit of Occam's Razor here, too. We have an explanation with numbers that match up quite nicely. Yet, due to the politicization of the pandemic, you have claims that "we don't know for sure" or worse yet, alternate theories with absolutely zero evidence to back it up. I'm open to hear theories, just as long as there is data to support them. I haven't seen any.
