More and more voices are now speaking out on the lockdowns, widespread testing, and other policies associated with the COVID-19 response. Now a professor from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, Ronald B.Brown, Ph.D., is questioning how mortality data was presented to Congress early in the pandemic.
This hearing was held on March 11, 2020, in front of the House Oversight Committee. During the questioning, Dr. Anthony Fauci asserted that the mortality rate for COVID-19 was 3%. He then extrapolated to claim that if you added in the mildly symptomatic cases, it would probably be about 1%, which is ten times more deadly than the seasonal flu.
Brown asserts that this testimony is what launched campaigns for social distancing, lockdowns, and shelter-in-place orders to varying degrees nationwide. He then goes on to explain that fatality rates are classified in two different ways, while mortality rates are a timebound calculation.
The CDC defines mortality rate as the frequency of deaths within a time period for a well-defined population. To calculate the mortality rate for women under 40 from breast cancer for 2019, you would divide the number of deaths from breast cancer for women under 40 by the total population of women under 40 during that specific calendar year.
A case fatality rate (CFR) is calculated as the number of people who die of a disease divided by the total number of confirmed cases of the disease during a period of time. This calculation is a measure of disease severity. Using the example above, the CFR for breast cancer in women under 40 would be divided by the number of confirmed breast cancer cases under 40.

COVID - Fun with numbers
No PSYCHOPATH EUGENICISTS did...
If anyone hasn’t seen this...straight from the mind of an “evolutionary psychologist” (clever, eh?) at NYU Stern Business School.

“A more mature response would be based on mutual civilizational respect, asking—what can we learn from what the Chinese are doing, how can we help them, and how can they help us to keep up as they create their brave new world?”

Pompeo: “Indeed, last year, a Chinese Government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all 50 of America’s governors on their attitudes towards China. They labeled each of you “friendly,” “hardline,” or “ambiguous.” “

Since I retired and moved from Texas to Panama last summer, I’ve lost 25 pounds. Using WHO/CDC models, I should be weightless in another eight years.
It's no different than the global warming hoax, except with better near-term leverage.
“Figures lie and liars figure
Just tell me what you want and I’ll provide the numbers to back you up.
As many FR Flubros attempted to point out at the time.
“A case fatality rate (CFR) is calculated as the number of people who die of a disease divided by the total number of confirmed cases of the disease during a period of time.”
Not exactly true. We almost always assume both deaths and positives. In April, about 245,000 had formally tested positive for the flu and about 24,500 had died. That is a fatality rate of 10%.
However, the CDC was saying the death rate was 0.1%, due to assumptions everywhere.
THAT’s who has been keeping us from our Flying cars....
Great article — thanks for posting it.
The Left likes to claim that anyone who disagrees with them is “anti-science” and just too ignorant to understand. How dare you not trust the experts! But the experts have destroyed their credibility by mistakes, conflating terms, and outright deliberate lying.
Dr. Fauci compared apples to oranges to reach conclusions that were orders of magnitude off. Oops. He proclaimed that masks were useless for the general public. Then he proclaimed that masks were absolutely necessary for the general public. His explanation: well, he lied because the selfish public, to protect its own lives, would have hogged up the masks needed for medical personnel. So he admits that he lies to trick us, but we should trust him now. Maybe that works for Democrats.
Not without your mask, young lady!
Article does its own playing around with numbers. Fails to mention that the actual IFR for COVID-19 is 0.64-0.66%. Throws around lots of other numbers though, and jumps back and forth very quickly between IFR and CFR. Why not just define CFR, explain why it’s basically useless for something like COVID-19 where so many are asymptomatic, and move on to compare IFR?
Yeah, that's definitely worth noting. In NYC there was at least 25% infection by random antibody testing earlier in the year. And 0.25% of all New Yorkers died. That gives us 1% IFR in a city with collapsed hosptals, bad government, etc. It's our nation's worst case scenario but not a terrible outcome.
This is what happens when you let Applied Biological Technicians (Medical Doctors) try to do statistics.
Fauci is a worse then average case...his undergraduate degree was in Classics, for God’s sake.
“Any one with half a brain figured out the lock down should have end after two or three weeks...the data was right there from Europe...”
LOCKDOWN has put us into a PSYCHOLOGICAL coma. Americans may NEVER come out of it. It’s the perfect vehicle for all types of TOTALITARIANS of all genders, races, ages, nations, evildoers world-wide. Brilliant CONTROL/ELIMINATE plausible deniability for EUGENICISTS world-wide against we the people.
2020 see clearly. EUGENICS...softkill or hardball...it matters not.
Michael Bolton : I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail. ... Well this is not a mundane detail, Michael!
“His explanation:....”
Plausible deniability is ALWAYS built into discussion with SUPEREVIL. Listen carefully. Face - Words - Deeds.

They all use the same tactics to deceive/deflect. Their mission is to DEPOPULATE. THEY have only disdain for vast right-wing conspirators, bitter-clingers, deplorables, dog-faced pony soldiers. Listen. They expose themselves.
Hades is too cushy for them. They need to go straight to Tartarus.

Much of the country never got high enough levels to warrant a lockdown in the first place, but if you’re going to do one, you can see by then that as a full-population quarantine, it was a failure.
