Delta and Omicron are basically the vaxx damage. I've not had any nor has my family and none of us has had covid, also we do not go into the hospital to take the useless test.
DMED actually shows that there was a backlog in the system during the pandemic so cases that should have been dispersed over two years are being reported all at once.
Delta was more dangerous not less dangerous
Put simply it killed more people in 2021 because during 2020 it hadn't yet reached a lot of small communities.

Sworn statements from people who do have access to DMED are not hearsay. What a lame way to get around data you don't have an alternative explanation for.

LOL sure it does. So why did those two years when data wasn't being properly entered (or was backlogged for some other reason) line up with the data from the prior two years?
And that's not even the official story. The official story is that there was a glitch in the system for 5 years that they magically only discovered once the whistleblowers came forward with the data. A glitch, that somehow fixed itself and gave the whistleblowers the data. It's a festivus miracle.

Incorrect:
"The estimated CFR of non-Delta gradually decreased from 0.57% to 0.20% with interquartile range (IQR) of (0.39% − 0.23% =) 0.16%, whereas the CFR of Delta appears relatively stable at 0.19%."
Put simply it killed more people in 2021 because during 2020 it hadn't yet reached a lot of small communities.
I'm sure you have some data to back this up. No?
Now tell me if delta is less dangerous or if people are better prepared, or already dead.
Check the distribution maps of covid cases, in 2020 it was all coastal cities and hubs. In 2021 it was endemic in small towns too.
Show me evidence that these statements were sworn by real people who would have access to DMED.
And a sworn statement is proof that a claim was made, not proof that the statement is true.
Names, ranks and duty stations please.

You copied and pasted those numbers without actually understanding what the meant, didn't you. Go back and read them again. Now factor in natural immunity, preceeding mortality rates in vulnerable communities, vaxxing, mask wearing, and increased awareness.
Now tell me if delta is less dangerous or if people are better prepared, or already dead.

I may be a simple man but I definitely understand that a case fatality rate of 0.57%-0.2% is greater than 0.19%.
Now tell me if delta is less dangerous or if people are better prepared, or already dead.
This seems like a fancy way of saying it killed fewer people... which is contrary to every point you're arguing so far.

It's not on me to prove your argument. Go ahead and give me the link.

Delta killed more people because it was more transmissible, the case fatality rate was lower because people were better prepared.
You will automatically claim any map that I present to you as being fake or manipulated. If you find the map yourself than you know for certain that I didn't mislead you.
If you really want me to hold your hand on this and you promise not to scream and shout that it's fake you can use this link click on each state. They are broken down by country or region and have a graph showing cases over time.
Notice how rural areas spike much later than urban and inner-city ones. This is because covid barely touched smaller towns until 2021 by which time it had become endemic.

Generally the way it works is that virus become less potent but more transmissible with each iteration of mutation.
