In early April Senator Dr. Scott Jensen from Minnesota went on The Ingraham Angle to discuss how the CDC is encouraging American doctors to over-count coronavirus deaths across the US.

This was after Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota physician and Republican state senator, told a local station he received a 7-page document coaching him to fill out death certificates with a COVID-19 diagnosis without a lab test to confirm the patient actually had the virus.

Dr. Jensen also disclosed that hospitals are paid more if they list patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
And hospitals get paid THREE TIMES AS MUCH if the patient then goes on a ventilator.

Senator Dr. Scott Jensen: Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.

Via Ingraham Angle:

Now this…
On Sunday Dr. Scott Jensen said he was being investigated by the Minnesota State Board of Medical Practice in Minnesota.

FOX 9 reported:

A Minnesota State Senator and doctor known for disputing government-reported fatality data related to COVID-19 says he is being investigated by the Minnesota State Board of Medical Practice in Minnesota.

In a Facebook video Sunday, Dr. Scott Jensen, a Republican state senator for Carver County and a family medicine doctor, said he was “ticked” to receive notice from the state that he was being investigated.

Jensen said he is being investigated for public statements he made “spreading misinformation” about death certificates and COVID-19 on a news program and “provided reckless advice” comparing COVID-19 and influenza.

Jensen has been a vocal critic of Minnesota’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including disputing the reported death totals, disputing future modeling of the virus and comparing the virus to influenza.

I didn’t believe there would be 70k deaths in Minnesota… I don’t believe there will be 29k. #mnleg pic.twitter.com/6wgGQCkfVf

81% of the coronavirus deaths in Minnesota occurred in nursing homes.
Shouldn’t the state be investigating that instead?

[Lurkinanloomin]

In today’s hyper-political environment, telling the truth will be punished.

[bigbob]

He picked the wrong state to demonstrate integrity and honesty in.

[kiryandil]

OF COURSE he is being investigated by the state of Commiesota.

[Dr. Sivana]

I find it odd that on New York state stands out as having a VERY low percentage of nursing home/assisted living deaths in the map, when the state was notorious for importing CCP virus carriers INTO the facilities.

Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.

Either somebody misquoted you in the article, or you're a complete idiot.

I will certainly tell you that those things have an impact.

[GnuThere]

Not surprising, almost anyone can turn him in for investigation.
Definitely the powers that be, who are probably 100% leftist.

Now, let’s do New York.

RE:Not surprising, almost anyone can turn him in for investigation.

And *THAT* is the new persecution akin to what the Communists do -— THE WITCH HUNT, the FISHING EXPEDITION. Use the unlimited power of the state ( payed for by you and me, the tax payer), to persecute someone you don’t like into bankruptcy ( See Mike Flynn ).

If they can do it to a sitting President, doing it to a doctor would be chicken feed.

[Diogenesis]

sound like they are attempting to cover up other
murders.

how many vets were murdered?
how many elderly conservatives were murdered?

NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

This doctor will be shortly on his way to a “re-education camp.”

The bureaucratic state has many tools to silence individuals and businesses.

First that go after the doctor, then they go for you.............

[Hugh the Scot]

He should be investigated. He lied about what the letter says, and he went to the media to do it.

[Don Corleone]

We on this blog knew months ago that following the money was key to a lot of the Covid abuse, especially in places like NYC.

[DesertRhino]

....I’m sorry, so you were saying something about antifascism?

[zek157]

Believe you read that wrong.

To me he’s said that because he already knows it to be a fact and doesn’t need to be told.

[DesertRhino]

Outright lies could be in play. Believing stats out of democrat strongholds is literally no better than believing stats out of red China.

They sure do. Big time!

[Wallace T.]

The doctor should relocate to a state with a patriotic, real American governor. Florida and South Dakota come to mind, and not Texas, unfortunately.
