HHS and "How To Lie With Statistics" (Not Satire)
11/7/21 | RetiredTexasVet

HHS has been messaging on radio and TV here in Texas (and possibly around the country) with a specific ad stating that "hospital admissions for children have tripled during the Summer".

Tripled? What was the base of the tripling .... 1 or 3 or 300? Tripling 1 or 3 or even 300 would be insignificant considering that there are at least approximately 30 million children in the US. This is a perfect example of using statistics to lie. The base was intentionally omitted to produce an exagerated fear of a deluge of hospital admissions for children.

Additionally, they omitted the fact that the hospitalizations probably were of children with 2 to 5 or more co-morbidities. Additionally they omitted the ages that they considered for the persons to be children. That is important because children are defined by various government agencies to be 0 to 26 years old depending on the type of agenda they are pushing.

Note that this propaganda is not be pushed by a medical professional at the HHS, but by it head ... a bottom feeding scumsucking political hack communist lawyer - Xavier Becerra.

Compared to when? Compared to a day/time when there were very few admissions?

Another factor is that many hospitals were not doing surgeries and other treatments during most of the pandemic. As restrictions have lifted, more people — including children — can now have their delayed surgeries and treatments, and so quite naturally there are a lot of patients.

The media, as usual, has been shameless in stoking panic, often reporting hospitals were “overrun,” to give the impression there was a COVID outbreak.

It could be due to Couid vaccinations. With so little information, it’s impossible to make an informed speculation, let alone, an informed decision. So, yes, HHS is being quite deceptive with that ad.

They're coordinating things on Twitter with their army of quacks:

Real tweets, and I've checked all of them.

Doesn’t surprise me in the least. I doubt very seriously that any of them have any children in those age groups at all. Wong looks more likely to be a father of a forty year old quite frankly. of a 40 year old, not a 5 year old. 4 of 6 claim to have an 11 year old. Nothing strange regarding those tweets. /sarcasm

I would suspect that those are paid trolls. Note that they say almost the exact same thing: ...I’ve followed/studied/reviewed the Pfizer safety & efficacy data in ages 5-11.... Total BS. These are paid pimps and whores owned by Pfizer/CDC/NIH/FDA.
