Could this just be Delta? YES!

I fear this terrible analysis will end up being extremely damaging to your credibility, Steve. If your hypothesis were correct, there would be a massive peak in excess deaths in high % vax states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, etc. But there isn't even a little surge of deaths in those states that summer/fall. The massive surge in excess deaths occurs in the states you would least expect to see them if trying to correlate with vax, states like AL, MS, AR, FL. Delta was a *regional* covid surge due to lack of sun/Vit D because it's 95 degrees down here by June/July. Just look at the state charts! https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
