Anthony Fauci: If a child goes into the hospital they automatically get tested for Covid, and they get counted as a “Covid-hospitalized” individual when in fact they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis..." (TRANSCRIPT, 40 sec video)

PING

Surprise, surprise, surprise! 🤔

In the very beginning the scarf lady said the same thing. I wondered why no one noticed.

“Ooops. I said the quiet part out loud.”

The same thing happens with adults depending on where you are at and the hospital you go to. The hospitals around here require everyone to get a Covid test before they are admitted for anything. People believe these long lines at Covid testing stations are because they want to get tested. It is because they are required to get tested for employment, travel, elective surgery, or even to get their teeth cleaned or God knows what else.

now lets take a look at the covid deaths

Yeah

Makes me very suspicious on why he’s coming clean about this now. Is he going to pretend he just now discovered this fact?

I did.

I saw and included this in may page on Covid-19 Research: Reaction, Results, Reasons, Recommendation

What also would qualify as a Covid-19 positive case is those who went to a hospital for something entirely unrelated to that virus, but who tested positive as a result of routine testing. And which Dr. Fauci affirmed results in over counting of cases: "What we mean by that is that if a child goes in the hospital they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID hospitalized individual, when in fact they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that. So it's over counting the number of children who are 'hospitalized' with COVID as opposed to because of COVID."

Note that the CDC states “people can continue to test positive for COVID-19 for up to 3 months after diagnosis,” for as the CDC further affirms, “patients who have recovered from COVID-19 can continue to have detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory specimens for up to 3 months after illness onset. after being infected,” which is long after they were infectious. Yet for some time the CDC was conflating viral and antibody tests, combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus.

2. CDC Covid-19 case and death criteria

The broad criteria for listing Covid-19 as the presumed cause of death impugns the credibility of the numbers of claimed Covid-19 deaths.

Note also that the number of Covid-19 deaths are likely inflated due to the broad minimal criteria of the CDC in 2020 for assigning Covid-19 as the probable cause, which need to only meet Clinical Criteria and Epidemiologic Linkage without confirmatory or presumptive Laboratory Evidence. (However, under the 2021 criteria the latter presumptive lab evidence can supplant the other two as qualification for a presumed Covid case and thus death. Yet again, Vital Records Criteria alone will suffice, which is a “death certificate that lists COVID-19 disease or SARS-CoV-2 or an equivalent term as an underlying cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death.”) .

Under the original (April 2020 to August 5, 2020) broad minimal criteria of the CDC in 2020 for assigning Covid-19 as the probable cause of death, a case can be listed as Covid death on the basis of (under “Clinical Criteria”) as little as a headache and subjective fever, or just a cough or shortness of breath and which lack a more likely diagnosis than Covid-19. Along with (under “Epidemiologic Linkage)” being part of an exposed risk community (areas or locations of high transmission rates), or having had close contact (being within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes over the course of 24 hours) with a probable case of COVID-19.

The criteria version (there are three so far) prior to 8-5-2020 allowed for simply having having traveled to or lived in an area with sustained, ongoing community transmission of Covid-19), while the 8-5-2020 version added 4 more symptoms or conditions to its list (making it 17) under clinical criteria which require one or two for qualification (“in the absence of a more likely diagnosis”).

In 2021, in implicit further recognition and or admission that the criteria had been too broad (and with a new president beginning vaccination developed underTrump), the CDC tightened up its Clinical Criteria from simply having as little as a cough or shortness of breath (“in the absence of a more likely diagnosis”) to prefacing it as “Acute onset or worsening of ...” such, while expanding the list of symptoms or conditions to 21 under Clinical Criteria.

Moreover, regarding vital records criteria noted above, since a Probable case is one that “Meets clinical criteria AND epidemiologic linkage with no confirmatory or presumptive laboratory evidence for SARS-CoV-2,” OR Meets presumptive laboratory evidence, OR Meets vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory evidence for SARS-CoV-2,” then since the latter alone suffices as criteria for counting a death as due to Covid, then it presumes that the official assigning Covid-19 as the cause has at least followed the aforementioned CDC criteria for determining if a person had Covid-19. And yet it is far from certain that Covid-19 was the actual cause.

In addition, “meets presumptive laboratory evidence” also is a sole condition for assigning Covid-19 as the cause of death, and which means “Detection of SARS-CoV-2 specific antigen in a post-mortem obtained respiratory swab or clinical specimen using a diagnostic test performed by a CLIA-certified provider.”

What also would qualify as a Covid-19 positive case is those who went to a hospital for something entirely unrelated to that virus, but who tested positive as a result of routine testing. And which Dr. Fauci affirmed results in over counting of cases: "What we mean by that is that if a child goes in the hospital they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID hospitalized individual, when in fact they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that. So it's over counting the number of children who are 'hospitalized' with COVID as opposed to because of COVID."

Note that the CDC states “people can continue to test positive for COVID-19 for up to 3 months after diagnosis,” for as the CDC further affirms, “patients who have recovered from COVID-19 can continue to have detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory specimens for up to 3 months after illness onset. after being infected,” which is long after they were infectious. Yet for some time the CDC was conflating viral and antibody tests, combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus.

Therefore contrary to what at least one liberal “fact checker” entity asserts, [2] there have been changes in how the CDC is counting COVID-19 deaths, as preceding research substantiates. Also, before and after (a new presidential administration as well as) vaccination began then some totals of Covid-assigned deaths were significantly revised downward after further consideration.

Moreover, as USA Today confirmed,

“Hospitals and doctors do get paid more for Medicare patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or if it's considered presumed they have COVID-19 absent a laboratory-confirmed test, and three times more if the patients are placed on a ventilator to cover the cost of care and loss of business resulting from a shift in focus to treat COVID-19 cases.”

Likewise, FEMA provides funding for COVID-19 funeral cases, awarding more than $447 million as June 29, 2021, at which time the agency announced a new policy that “provides applicants, as well as medical authorities, coroners and jurisdictions, flexibility to attribute a death to COVID-19” that occurred that occurred between Jan. 20 and May 16, 2020, “without amending the death certificate. Applicants who incurred COVID-19-related funeral expenses between Jan. 20 and May 16, 2020, will be able to submit a death certificate that does not attribute the death to COVID-19 along with a signed statement from the certifying official listed on the death certificate, coroner, or medical examiner linking the death to COVID-19.”

As of 12–05-21, for over 5% of reported COVID-19 deaths, that virus was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate, and “for deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4.0 additional conditions or causes per death.” While this does not necessarily mean the virus was not the leading contributor in the other 94% of the deaths, and it certainly does not mean it was the leading contributor in all the other 94% of these deaths. The liberally biased politifact.com web site, in correcting the erroneous Aug. 31, 2020 claim that the CDC decreased the number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. from 153,504 to 9,210 based upon the CDC figure of all but 6% of Covid-19 death listed comorbidities, states that, “The vast majority of coronavirus-related deaths occur in patients who have other conditions, which are also listed on their death certificates, but that doesn’t mean COVID-19 was not a factor in their deaths. The CDC considers the underlying cause of death as "the condition that began the chain of events that ultimately led to the person’s death," Jeff Lancashire, acting associate director for communications at the NCHS told us.”

However, being “a factor” does not make it the cause, for there is a difference between a condition coinciding with or contributing to an event versus being the cause of it. And while Covid-19 can certainly be the condition that pushes a person over the edge, yet unlike something like HIV or Ebola which typically (at least without intervention) can slay otherwise healthy persons, the condition that began the chain of events in so many Covid-assigned death can be those which would have soon resulted in the death of the person at issue anyway.

duh, Falsi....

Untruthful reporting. They are liars.

Ipse Dixit?

The experts are liars. The conspiracy theorists are the people who have figured out the Truth.
