Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota physician and Republican state senator said 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.
“Last Friday I received a 7-page document that told me if I had an 86-year-old patient that had pneumonia but was never tested for COVID-19 but some time after she came down with pneumonia we learned that she had been exposed to her son who had no symptoms but later on was identified with COVID-19, then it would be appropriate to diagnose on the death certificate COVID-19,” Dr. Scott Jensen said.
Dr. Jensen explained that this is not a normal procedure.
Dr.. Jensen said for example if the same patient had pneumonia during flu season and he didn’t have a test confirming the patient also had influenza, he would never diagnose the patient with influenza on the death certificate.
Not surprising from the Land of 10,000 Marxists.
Should be investigated but not holding my breath it’s all true.
HHS is huge, federal agency.
“Ideally, testing for COVID–19 should be conducted, but it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate without this confirmation if the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty.”
Just as I suspected.
“but some time after she came down with pneumonia we learned that she had been exposed to her son who had no symptoms but later on was identified with COVID-19, then it would be appropriate to diagnose on the death certificate COVID-19”
There is nothing like that in the document.
Regrettably is not a surprise
Thanks for this post. Set me a-googling learning about QED and its history.

GP is the worst source for just about anything beyond sensationalism.
China under counts by some factor of 50. Rats over count... by whatever they can get away with. All for the greater good’ . spit.
I hope Trump knows about this, or will be informed quickly. And I hope he comes down HARD on HHS! Is Azar really running this department?
It is actually the land of 10,000 NOT Marxists. I am one of the 10,000....

SHOCKING: MN Sen & Dr.
@drscottjensen
said that he received a 7 pg doc from
@mnhealth
to fill out death certificates with a diagnosis of #COVID-19 whether the person actually died from COVID-19 or not.
Why is #MN inflating COVID-19 death numbers?
Local news has picked it up. Looks like the letter’s legit.

There’s a link to the CDC doc being referred to in the story.
You did see that Dr. Birx said they are inflating the numbers on live TV.

Unbelievable!
The other way was better as it meant roughly 5.5 million non-Marxist in your state. But if things are that bad a local would know....
