Shifting Goalposts – COVID Deaths versus Vaccine Deaths

The media and medical establishment now defining deaths far differently in order to push their agenda of COVID bad, vaccine good.

Imagine changing the rules in the middle of a football game. The halftime score is 14-12, the Raiders scoring two touchdowns while the Broncos kicked four field goals. In the second half the rules change with field goals worth seven points and touchdowns only three points. Suddenly the Broncos are ahead 28-6. Absurd isn’t it?

That’s what is happening with the reporting of COVID deaths versus vaccine deaths, the media and medical establishment now defining deaths far differently in order to push their agenda of COVID bad, vaccine good.

COVID deaths don’t distinguish between death with COVID versus death from COVID. Early in the pandemic, Dr Deborah Birx said as much:

SNIP

Preexisting conditions are certainly important and death is often multifactorial.

SNIP

Is it the same for the vaccines or have the rules now changed?

An Israeli man suffered a fatal heart attack hours after receiving the COVID vaccine. The media was quick to disavow any linkage between the two events. From the Jerusalem Post, “Man's fatal heart attack likely unlinked to vaccine he took 2 hours before.”

The Times of Israel says much the same,

88-year-old dies hours after vaccine; doctors stress he was seriously ill. Hospital says deceased, who collapsed at home, had a long history of health ailments.

SNIP

A Swiss man also died after receiving the COVID vaccine and again the media was quick to deny any causation.

You and I are completely on the same foundation here. I likely have a different foundation since I work in healthcare.

But I am quick to note that difference in my stances. I wear the mask and take the vaccine because of my job, and my employer demands it for reasons I find valid and agree with, so I do it.

Shutting down this country, putting people out of work, destroying our economy and businesses, putting limits on travel via quarantine restrictions...I abhor every single one of these things.

I agree 100%. And I believe academia and educational institutions wholly contribute to this mess, and if they were not paid because they weren’t allowed to work, their damned views would change in a heartbeat.

Same with effing politicians.

The only person to die with COVID where COVID was not stated as the cause is George Floyd.

Because there was an even bigger political statement to make.

It’s neither. It’s an accurate diagnosis at the judgement of the physician. The Covid likely accelerated the death. It sounds like he went into MOSF as a result of the virus and this is what kicked him over the cliff

This is properly a Covid death
Just because one has comorbidities does not change the proximal cause of death.

[gas_dr]

A coroner does not have to be an MD. This is a state policy not one based on necessarily an MD. This is an additional false flag.

[ebb tide]

Anyone who has treated this disease can clearly tell you that the vast majority of deaths are from Covid. It's like every death certificate I fill out.

I don't know many anesthesiologists who fill out death certificates for COVID.

[gas_dr]

well you continue to not know much. Anesthesiologists can specialize in critical care medicine which happens to be my sub specialty.

Don’t you hate it when your perceived snarky and superior assumptions get knocked flat on its ass? I recommend knowing before speaking

[ebb tide]

I hate liars.

[gas_dr]

Well aren’t your judgments the universal standard. I am neither a liar nor appeal to authority. I can see how in your limited and ignorant world view you might think you know of which you speak. But I assure you that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Enjoy your evening

Ohhhhhh
Another erudite nazi reference
You are not worthy of this website
You are unable to discern truth from your own opinion
You have no idea what you are talking about.

You will be reported for abuse as calling me the name of a nazi who experimented on Jews is antisemetic an libel.

You sre nothing more than an irrelevant I ignorant bully behind a keyboard.

Make sure mommy changes your diapers for you
