Where are we getting this data from? The data covering late April is especially suspicious. See the section “takes about 8–16 weeks for nationwide data to become a reliable metric of total deaths.” in this article. https://arcdigital.media/debunking-coronavirus-trutherism-c2...

(Make sure you stick around for the animated gif, "CDC pneumonia death figures over time", which shows how things change over time.)

The chart I posted is bunk, and I apologize. Took me a while, but here's real data:

In New York, total deaths from heart-related diseases is up, not down since covid.

I do see some weirdness in other states, but not New York.

Thanks for publicly stating that your original source was inaccurate. Not enough people do this when debating hot topics, and I seriously respect you for doing so.
