A set of statistics from the OFFICIAL website of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been circulating in the American online community. The total number of deaths nationwide so far this year is no higher than the annual toll in the past few years, the data show. The public is questioning whether the left-wing media, which has been trumpeting the death of 300,000 people in the US due to COVID-19, may be lying.
Recently, a list of official statistics has been circulating on social media in the United States, listing the total number of deaths in the United States each year since 2015. The figures show that as the country’s population grew each year, so did the number of annual deaths, but not by much.
Of particular concern to the public is the fact that the total number of deaths so far this year is 2,818,527, slightly lower than the 2,839,205 deaths the year before and the 2,855,000 deaths last year. Given that December’s death toll has yet to be factored in, that at least suggests that the overall death toll in the U.S. this year isn’t significantly higher than it has been in previous years.

Fang Wei, host of Radio Station Voice of Hope International, said he checked the list and found that the CDC website shows 2,703,232 people died between February 1 and December 5, 2020. That compares with 2,855,000 deaths for all of last year. His analysis of these official statistics points out that there would be a sharp increase in the total number of deaths this year if a large number of Americans were to die in 2020 as a result of the crackdown, but there is no “surge” in the CDC statistics.
If the epidemic alone had killed nearly 300, 000 people, there would have been a jump in the annual death toll this year, but that has not happened, Fang said.
He pointed out: “Based on information obtained from the OFFICIAL WEBSITE of the CENTERS for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the total number of deaths in the United States for the year 2020 has not increased compared to the total number of deaths in previous years. This shows that the claim by the American left media that nearly 300,000 people died of the epidemic could be a hoax.”
According to Fang, CBS reported on January 17 that the total number of deaths in the United States this year was 3.1 million, which is 200,000 to 300,000 more than the official death toll from the CDC. He went back to the CDC’s website and found that it was down, and that all of the original links to the CDC on the list could not be opened to find any data. “Is it normal to be down at this point?” he asked.
CBS reported 3.1 million deaths in the United States this year, so far without any evidence.
A doctor who identified himself as David Samadi on Twitter also tweeted on Monday the total number of deaths in the United States for each year from 2010 to 2020, showing a total of about 2.5 million deaths in the year to November, close to the figure for the past nine years. The doctor also asked in the post, “Where’s the big spike?”

In fact, recent studies have consistently shown that the total number of deaths in the United States in 2020 is the same as in previous years.
In mid-November, Johns Hopkins University published a study that found no significant increase in the total number of deaths in the United States in 2020 compared with previous years. The report concluded that the COVID-19 outbreak has had “relatively little impact” on the total number of deaths in the United States. But shortly after the report was published, it was removed from the Internet for unknown reasons.
Experts and America’s conservative media Gateway (Gateway Pundit) have been reported at the end of August this year, the message according to the CDC’s official website, all is marked as a case of death from COVID, only 6% have direct relationship with the virus, that is to say, only 9210 americans are pure death due to infection COVID – 19 outbreak, the rest of the cases of patients with other serious diseases, the average at least 2 to 3 kinds of concurrent disease.
The only real measure of the impact of COVID-19 in the United States is whether the overall number of deaths has changed significantly from previous years.
