It's common knowledge that people who showed up at the hospital for something automatically were tested for COVID (which the hospitals got extra $$ for doing) and if they died from that "something" and they happened to have COVID it got counted as a COVID death, which the hospital got paid for as well.
Them's the facts. If there is no way to separate the died by instead of died with the actual number of true COVID deaths is unknowable so this article is bullshit. They don't know.
Many of those hospital deaths were deliberate and done for the money reward for dead COVIDs. Remdesivir and ventilators combination got those numbers up reliably.
