Here's the Most Interesting Thing in the CDC Data About Post-Vaccine COVID Breakthrough Infections

What can I say? I enjoy being vindicated. And I would like to thank Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rachel Walensky for making me feel as if I am. Earlier this week, I wrote about a study that demonstrated that prepositions matter when discussing hospitalizations for COVID-19 among children. There is a difference between getting hospitalized with COVID-19 and getting hospitalized for COVID-19 in the hospitals studied. Reported data does not capture this crucial distinction, which likely applies to hospitalizations of children and adults nationwide, given the testing protocols and reimbursement incentives.

I have been railing against the context-less reporting of death counts since the beginning of the pandemic. While writing for another outlet, I noted the bizarre instructions issued by the National Center for Health Statistics after CNN reporter Jim Acosta called any questioning of the counts a conspiracy theory. If Acosta is attacking an idea, there is almost certainly some truth to it. As testing protocols blossomed to the point where every inpatient received one, and the number of asymptomatic individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 became clear, there was even more reason to question the counts.

Then in December, two Minnesota lawmakers said that deaths in their state could have been inflated by as much as 40%. They reviewed thousands of death certificates, and concluded that something was off:

State Rep. Mary Franson and state Sen. Scott Jensen released a video last week revealing that after reviewing thousands of death certificates in the state, 40% did not have COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death.

She added that in one case, a person who was ejected from a car was “counted as a COVID death” because the virus was in his system.

This finding followed a study in New Jersey hospitals that found that almost 90% of patients who had COVID-19 listed as a cause of death had a Do Not Resuscitate Order in place before their hospitalization. From the study:

The significance of DNR status as an independent risk factor for mortality has not been documented previously in COVID19 patients. The present study analyzed data of 1270 patients with COVID-19, who were admitted to our institutions during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Jersey. DNR patients had higher hazard ratios for risk of death and lower survival outcomes compared to non-DNR patients. The association between DNR status and poor clinical outcomes remained independently significant after adjustment for important clinical factors, including age, gender, COVID-19 symptoms at the time of admission and comorbidities.

So, if your doctor felt your health was poor enough to determine that resuscitating you or using lifesaving treatment would not maintain any quality of life, no matter your age, primary diagnosis, or related symptoms, you were more likely to die with COVID-19 on your chart.

Short version: For those dying after COVID vaccinations, the CDC has been relatively scrupulous in distinguishing between those who merely died *with* COVID, as opposed to those who may have died *because of* COVID.

For those dying during the pandemic per se, that distinction was largely ignored or glossed over.

For those dying during the pandemic...

The Scamdemic is much more fitting. From day one, “ They” never ever mentioned the vast majority of deaths were only from the elderly. Had that fact been advertised, their fear campaign would have been shut down immediately and the “ standard operating procedure “ of isolating only the sick instead of everyone thus destroying a world economy would have been checked. This Covid flu was fueled by inaccurate body counts, incomplete statistics, fear,....in short: manufactured.

Perhaps the most disturbing fact is the sinister rush to inject children, those young and healthy.....all for a virus that is 99.9 percent survivable! What has happened to common sense and the ability to reason? Americans are being scammed by a sinister agenda, Wake Up Americans!

So what?

Fauci lied, people died.

If they’d been content to let Trump serve his rightful second term instead of importing a Chinese bioweapon to allow mail-in balloting, none of this would’ve happened.
