A few things. It doesn't show basically zero it shows a slither of yellow still. Dramatic reduction is expected considering all the drastic covid mitigation efforts would obviously work for flu, moreso even as it is much less infectious. Flu deaths total maybe 50k per year on average in the US, if the implication is the US government is somehow disguising flu deaths as covid deaths this would only account for a tiny fraction.

regarding pic rel, this is the excel data from your source. the highlighted rows are pneumonia, flu and covid deaths. Notice how flu deaths were consistent with prior years until covid mitigation efforts were imposed, confirming what I said in above paragraph. Also notice how "pneumonia" deaths absolutely skyrocket compared to prior years when they have never reached 5 figures, this shows covid deaths were and are still (if you download the chart and look at more recent weeks) falsely tracked as "pneumonia" deaths. Why aren't you up in arms about that? In fact, pre-covid, pneumonia deaths were consistently in the 2-4k range and since covid, "pneumonia" deaths are at least 4k up to 14k in recent weeks.
