There have been over 200K COVID-19 deaths this year, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of death certificates. And that number may be low, because other studies have shown that the cause of death in many COVID-19 cases have been blamed on pre-existing conditions. Most of the deaths are in older people with underlying health conditions and compromised immune systems. “I don’t think people realize that this is still a big deal,’ the daughter of a man by the name of Mark Pfundheller who died at the age of 66 despite having the vaccine and a booster, told the Wall Street Journal. About 85% of deaths from COVID_19 through mid-August were among those 65 and older.
