Why would we need the CDC to provide a figure when MinorityRepublican posts a link to worldometer basically every day? Everyone knows that there is no more reliable source than worldometer. /s
Of course, even those amazing investigative journalists at CNN were not able to figure out who really is behind worldometer at the beginning of the “pandemic” and have apparently made no progress since...

Even the completely impartial leftist patriots at Wikipedia don’t shed a lot of light on who is really behind worldometer although they admit, “Worldometer has faced criticism over transparency of ownership, lack of citations to data sources, and unreliability of its COVID-19 statistics and rankings.”

Yet here on FreeRepublic we have an entire cabal of fearful followers who define their day based the numbers that worldometer provides.
But fear not the “fact checking” gurus touted by our leftist media say that worldometer is grade A numero uno. That gives me a lot of comfort. /s
Therein lies the foundations for ALL the anomalies, great and small as regards the entire pandemic.
Taking worldometers' "data," one finds the most BASIC anomaly.
As of 4 February 2022, according to worldometers' "official" data,
( 5,733,072 "worldometers official" global deaths / 7,923,543,454 global population ) x 100 = 0.072 %
Less than one tenth of one percent "officially" Covid dead over two years worldwide, says worldometers' data.
Over more than two years now. Given that the taxonomy of a "Covid" deaths -- according to other root entities like the WHO from April 2020 -- included "presumed" and raising the Covid diagnoses above other possible deaths, resulting in our amusing "from" versus "with" distinctions, one sees data classification fraud at another root of entire edifice.
Noting the first RT-PCR test was coded in Germany in January 2020 before the pandemic was declared and using Chinese Communist supplied data which still cannot be verified, the pandemic's many proponents took those first >drop dead in the street" videos from China and we ended up with ecnomically-devastating lockdowns, wherein the advocates of the lockdowns themselves did not observe the lockdowns while urging them on others, masks for many while not for themselves excepting in photo-ops, and so on.
Your "fearful followers" to describe some of those here is an apt phrase. Their "gold standard" rests on fraudulent data, which can be proven in an instant via all the "gold standard" web sites. This is why some here try to point to other data and away from those "gold standards.", Look, a squirrel. But never, look, a Fauci with his other gold standard, kidney killing remdesivir," beagles and monkeys and cocaine and fear studies. Oh, there it is. FEAR.
Sir Fireman, your sarcasm seems very well-justified.
