NOW THEY TELL US: The CDC and other government agencies grossly overhyped the covid epidemic. Well, they didn't tell us, exactly, but the data does:

If you follow this simple procedure [look at the death certificates], you immediately realize two things: 1) most “covid deaths” involve people who have already lived longer than the average life expectancy in our state, and 2) when you look at the various maladies listed on the death certificates, in a large majority of cases covid was the least of the decedent’s problems.

Allahpundit at Hot Air claims CDC Director Rachelle Walensky's 75% comment in the above linked post was limited to breakthrough cases in the previously vaccinated elderly. Technically he/she may be correct, but there is no disputing that the vast majority of COVID-related deaths have been in the elderly with comorbidities population.
