This CDC Flu site has numbers for deaths by flu. Flu deaths were down significantly in calendar year 2021 but still not zero. Not sure what the dates are for a flu season but since there are no weeks with zero deaths, the 2020-2021 season had flu deaths as well.
Apparently, you didn't bother to read my very next post before responding. You know, the post where I explained the reason for much of the increased death tolls...
