Consider yourself fortunate that you do not know one more people who have died or been hospitalized from covid. It might be where you live or your professional or social circle that protects you from this. I live and work in the GVRD and connect with quite a number of families who been hospitalized or have members that have died. I have close friends and relatives who work in the Covid wards at several of our hospitals and they are heavily and tragically impacted everyday as are families of the people they treat.
The graph you provided shows the correlational drop in cases after two major holidays, notably Winter Break and Spring Break, getting back to school or work, in a more regulated context is also effective at reducing numbers. Behavioural changes, vaccinations, and other other factors create the statistics we see.
I will not go down your entire list, but will cite a couple and the same type reframing can be applied to most of your “facts”.
People who are vaccinated are still getting covid...yes absolutely but “breakthrough” occurs at a significantly reduced rate and with vastly reduced hospitalization and death. Which, for a vaccine set that is less than 2 years old and based on new technology (I am talking MRNA not viral vector type vaccines), is pretty effective. You also have to consider that world travel and globalization has exposed us to variants which effects efficacy. The pattern of reduction in cases and other indicators in direct relation to vaccination numbers has been repeated in other countries across the globe. Almost all other developed countries have taken “regulate behaviour” plus vaccination approach as a strategy to various degrees. These countries have the most educated and informed people in regards to viral transmission, medicine, and epidemiology. Most of the vaccines use similar technologies around the world. Given this, it is compelling that altering our behaviour and vaccination is the agreed upon strategy.
I think you said something like 2% of covid caused deaths are actually “caused” by covid. Covid caused deaths are covid caused deaths. It does not matter if death was a result a symptom or a complication caused by the disease it is still caused by it. When someone dies from cancer, do they typically die from having the growth or a severe comorbid symptom like organ failure? The 2% “fact” is ridiculous.
In terms of your narrative, it seems like you believe masks, vaccines, widespread health guidelines, and government are either ineffective, dishonest, or corrupt. Though certainly there are strands of what you are saying that may have have some validity....almost all our medical health professionals would probably call your thinking irresponsible and misled. Have you spoken to your family doctor about your particular understanding?
