> How do you explain excess deaths if they are not covid?

Delayed medical care because of Covid fear. I missed my annual physical two years ago and ended up with a heart attack I barely survived last October. People were delaying routine screenings such as mammograms, physicals, and other preventative care.

There are also increases in suicide, deaths of despair, especially in younger people. Addiction especially.

Nobody wants to talk about vaccine injuries and related deaths. But that is non-zero.

Suicide rate was lower in 2020 and 2021 than it was prior to the pandemic.
Out of curiosity, in what way did missing a physical cause or lead to your heart attack?
