Did hospitals inflate COVID numbers to get more federal money?
YES
“Scientific integrity is lacking in your post and the post is unworthy of a physician.”
Bingo, typical liberal troll. They have no compunction about lying. I’m not sure if Stalin is responsible for this quote: “Tell a lie often enough and it becomes true.”, but it is one of the primary operating procedures of the Democrat party, et al.
Of course that’s hooey, it only becomes accepted as truth.
Re the “tin foil hat” types: About half of the population believes in human caused global warming and covid pandemic. Nearly half believe neither. Which group has a better chance of convincing half of the population of a lie:
a. The combined voices of MSM, big government, big science, entertainment industry, big tech, internet and corporate America, or
b. A few dozen alleged alt right, conspiracy theorists and far right websites that are almost all banned from the major internet platforms?
Check out James Lindsey’s New Discourses article and podcast on “Pseudo-Realities”.
Earlier this year, Samuel Eckert’s German Team and the Isolate Truth Fund pledged a reward of at least $265,000
for any scientist who can provide incontrovertible proof that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been isolated and
therefore exists. They too pointed out that not one lab in the world has yet been able to isolate this corona virus.
I bring up this article from greatreject.org for cogitation only and not for espousing its validity.
My OPINION.
Dying WITH the Kung Flu and dying BECAUSE of the Kung Flu are treated as one in the same when it comes to the Reported Numbers.
We are living in a Twilight Zone Episode and the DEMONCRATS are all Anthony, sending anyone who disagrees with them to the Cancel Cornfield.
start by listing your qualifications you are touting. I told you pcr is one of the most accurate tests we have and all diagnosis is a combination of lab and clinical impression. In addition there are multiple different tests and manufacturers including rapid tests that are available in some areas and not others - it’s not just one test. The fact remains that the points is the OP are pure garbage and covid is real and a real health crisis despite what the armchair and google experts think. Good day
At least one part of that claim can be verified.
The CDC does not count C-19 deaths the same way it counts influenza deaths.
More than half of C-19 deaths involve pneumonia or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
When C-19 and pneumonia, or C-19 and ARDS, appear on the same death certificate, C-19 is the Underlying Cause of Death (UCOD) in 100% of the cases.
When influenza and pneumonia, or influenza and ARDS, appear on the same death certificate, influenza is the UCOD in just 10% of the cases.
While the initial assertions about data and testing seem credible, the notion that the whole Covid experience is a hoax is a bit much.
For months the only place where covid existed here in MO was St Louis, a place loaded with dem voters and dems lie.
That won't bring back the people I know who died from this thing. It's not the flu but it's not TEOTWAWKI. It ranks with a pedestrian accident in fatality.
Did almost 600k Americans die for the money? And I'm talking excess deaths, not just reported deaths.
But yeah, science.
With all the money that was being thrown at hospitals for COVID patients, ventilators, etc. there isn't the slightest doubt in my mind that fraud is a huge part of the COVID numbers.
All four points are incorrect
.
Thank you for posting Mom MD.
Yes, it’s wrong to accuse the entire medical profession of wrongdoing.
Unfortunately, everybody has their price. OK, not everybody.
But when you apply the idea of “follow the money” to any situation, things start to fall apart imo.
Do you strive to be completely or is it just natural to you.
Why should this bug differ?
RN here. They don’t intubate anyone in a skilled nursing facility.You need a hospital trained critical care nurse to care for ventilated patients.
Do you think that the profit motive operates in hospitals? No other incidental finding unaccompanied by relevant symptoms earns a hospital $$$. Therefore those incidental findings are not listed as comorbidities while COVID-19 is. That is by no stretch of the imagination normal record keeping. Anytime you want to see more of something you associate it with a monetary reward.
“did ERs and ICUs overspill with ARDs patients. It just hasn’t happened”. I will contend with that statement.
In a major city in the US I was left in the hallway with many others when I went in for heart problems - with no one naer by observing me, not even a BP cuff, for hours during the flu season a few years ago.
So how do you explain so many more people dying each month:

The moment COVID hits we started having far more people die each month than ever had before in this country.
