They aren’t CDC’s numbers. Those numbers come from the individual states. CDC simply adds them up.
When CDC aggregated Florida’s data in a way Florida didn’t like, the state of Florida immediately and publicly called CDC out on it and made them fix it. In other words, the states are keeping an eye on what’s being published. So unless you think all 50 states are making up dead people (which would be difficult considering the enormous paper trail going right back to the doctor’s signature on the death certificate), the numbers are what they are.
‘CDC simply adds them up.’
ha ha ha; you’re funny guy...CDC just a bunch of bean counters, eh...?
‘(which would be difficult considering the enormous paper trail going right back to the doctor’s signature on the death certificate)’
you’re also a very naive guy; it has never occurred to you, not even once, that governments (gasp) lie about things that they have a direct impact upon their policies...? You’ve never considered that the politcal arm of the medical community, state appointed health officers and their assorted lackeys, might announce ‘numbers’ that would not tally with a legitimate audit of actual death certificate filings, in order to legitimize their botched responses...? or that the medical community might not challenge these ‘numbers’ out of a concern for the public good...?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, you clearly have made valid points; I’m simply saying you should consider the blatant corruption that runs rampant in political circles and the utter stench that permeates its public tentacles reaching into media, education, and healthcare...and that maybe information out there that does not conform with your own might just have a scintilla of truth after all...
Cool how you say they're not CDC numbers, then say they are in the very next sentence.
Your particular brand of booshito is amusing, government man.
