There are some drawbacks to the study, however. Patients in the VA system are not representative of the U.S. population, as the VA patient populations tends to be older, with few women and no children.

The VA also has a policy to test every patient for COVID, while this is not a policy in all hospitals. The study does show, however, that “the introduction of vaccines strongly correlates with a greater share of COVID hospital patients having mild or asymptomatic disease.”

But Daniel Griffin, an infectious disease specialist at Columbia University, said that the study can help the public understand that not all COVID hospitalizations are the same.

It should be obvious to anyone that not all “Covid hospitalizations” are alike.

Someone who has a severe case of Covid and is admitted due to difficulty breathing BECAUSE of Covid is VERY different from someone who breaks their leg and is admitted for surgery while infected. with Covid.

Anyone can see the truth in this.

However, there are elements in the Government, Media, and even the medical community itself who not only do NOT take the time to point that obvious fact out, they studiously REFUSE to discuss that obvious aspect and are all too willing to discuss ALL Covid hospitalizations as if they were exactly the same.

It is things like that which make many normal people suspicious or angry.

They’ve been doing this all along.

The case counts have been inflated.

And inflated case counts aren’t going to scare anybody if people aren’t dropping like flies.

The death stats are quite likely inflated, too.

Every death attributed to CoupFlu in the country should be checked out to see if CoupFlu really was the cause of death.
