PAY ATTENTION! It’s the government that has ORDERED the hospitals and state health departments to categorize these deaths as COVID19 deaths “fraudulently”. Dr. Birx admitted on air that if someone goes to a hospital complaining of Covid19 symptoms, but has heart issues, kidney issues, and dies, we are counting it as a COVID19 Death, while the rest of the world dies not!. They aren’t interested in finding the fraud when they are creating it as they go. Do you own research as I have over the past year and saw the discrepancies as they CHANGED THE DATA!
You don’t just suddenly have seasonal flu deaths drop to NOTHING in February/March, same for normal levels of diabetes and heart disease deaths dropping to near zero. These reported deaths suddenly disappeared from the CDC’s own records in favor of reporting deaths from COVID19 deaths. I’ve already told you about the total number of deaths from all causes in previous years, but you just won’t believe it. It’s true. Go look for yourself. Look at the total deaths for 2019 (and yes, those TOTAL NUMBER figures ARE available contrary to your false assertion). Preliminary death data for 2020 and 2019 are available from the CDC, and detailed data for 2018, and 2017 (again detailed NUMBER figures ARE available contrary to your false assertions). You just have to dig for them (do you know about those things called “Google” or “Duck, Duck, Go”?), and we do know the number who were hospitalized and died in 2018 due to influenza.
Do you think the government is not above obfuscating these data? The US National Center for Health Statistics keeps accurate records but it takes awhile for the various state and county health departments, archivists, and coroners to submit their data at the end of the year. 2020 is just not fully in and reconciled yet when January 2021 has yet to be done, so the report has not been filed. Quit making stuff up. My degree is in Economics so I know how dig data out and how to analyze this stuff. Obviously you don’t.
There is a STRONG financial incentive to diagnose and claim deaths due to Covid19, including a full reimbursement of costs and a $100,000 spiff, from both insurance companies and Medicare without discount. There is a STRONG financial incentive to just diagnose Covid19, with the same full reimbursement and a $17,500 spiff just for the diagnosis with hospitalization, $35,000 spiff for ICU, more if put on ventilation (figures provided from a reliable coding source). Now, remove all other financial input into the hospital by prohibiting optional procedures, and even many necessary and emergency procedures... so much so that hospitals were running empty. So what to medical coders in hospitals do? Being trained to code for maximum financial remuneration, they code Covid, by what ever means necessary. I spent 35 years working in medical field IT. I know how it works. Open a door for more money and they WILL walk through it by what ever means necessary. That does NOT mean “fraud”; it means stretch the rules until they bend, but not break.
Your linked article is an example of the innate problem I am pointing out. . . They are assuming that everyone who died WITH Covid19 died due to COVID19 PLUS they are adding in those who died due to the conditions the government imposed, such as the 81,000 who overdosed because of depression due to lockdowns also died due to COVID19... Those deaths are subsumed in the numbers they are counting in their overall yearly deaths.
According to the CDC’s own reported numbers, the TOTAL number of accumulated deaths in 2020 through September 30, were actually LOWER than the cumulative number of deaths in 2019, 2018, 2017 through the same date. How was that possible if we were experiencing a pandemic? One reason was that supposedly the number of commuting automobile accidents was down due to lockdowns caused fewer people to participate in rush hour traffic hence fewer fatal accidents in 2020. That is only a blip that would come out in the wash. Keep in mind that the CDC was watching death numbers much more closely in 2020 than in previous years.
You complain that I’ve only shown you only two cases, but you obviously have not been reading all the COVID threads on FR. If you had, you’d have been seeing multiple cases over the past year. I’m not going to do your research for you. Those were just to egregious cases that showed the problem as it was being done and reported in the press. I’m not going to spend my time to find you links. Your ignorance is not my problem, it’s yours.
You provided a link to nothing. The average person does not have access to the 2019-2020 NDI database. You have to meet specific criteria to gain access to the reports and request it in writing. Your link is meaningless.
Dr. Birx admitted on air that if someone goes to a hospital complaining of Covid19 symptoms, but has heart issues, kidney issues, and dies, we are counting it as a COVID19 Death, while the rest of the world dies not!.
Dr. Birx said! Dr. Birx said! Dr. Birx said! I have seen her claims posted a thousand times and seen them debunked just as many. She even debunked her own argument right here:
Add another doctor who has now rejected this theory: Birx. She was asked about it at Wednesday’s briefing and referenced the point above about how the coronavirus exacerbates existing conditions.
I would encourage you to reread that a dozen times before you do anything else.
You don’t just suddenly have seasonal flu deaths drop to NOTHING in February/March,
You do if everybody is wearing masks, socially distancing, getting mandatory flu vaccines at work, quarantining at the first sign of illness, not travelling, not having large gatherings, etc. Of course you do.
What's more, it's apparent that Covid is more transmissible and, thus, more contagious than the flu; as such, counter measures taken against Covid will be doubly effective against influenza.
And, in case I haven't mentioned, nobody is dying of flu or Covid without ample evidence to confirm the diagnosis. These people come into the ER and are admitted to the ICU after having chest XRays, Chest CT scans, all kinds of lab work, nasopharyngeal swabs for Covid and Flu and, typically, RSV. they spend weeks in the hospital having daily lab work and specialist physician consultations and repeat chest XRays. And, like I said, there's a positive Covid test to support everything we do, every decision we make. There is no way you're going to hang your little conspiracy theory around the neck of US hospitals. We have mountains of supporting evidence and documentation. It's laughable.
Part of my job is to review the medical charts of people that were tested for Covid. Rarely do I see someone who wasn't also tested for Flu. I have seen plenty of positive Covid tests and no positive flu tests but that's because I'm not reviewing Flu cases, only Covid cases. I have seen one patient who tested negative for Covid and should have been tested for flu but wasn't because that particular doctor kind of sucks frankly. I spoke with her personally and suggested that she get tested for flu as her symptoms hadn't improved. She was one out of a hundred.
Quit making stuff up. My degree is in Economics so I know how dig data out and how to analyze this stuff.
Funny, you haven't really provided any data. My job is an ER nurse in a city that has been hit hard by Covid. I don't give a flying fart about your economics degree. If I want to understand the fractional reserve banking, I might ask you. If I want to understand the nature of this Covid crisis, I don't need to ask anybody anything because I'm the guy you ask.
They are assuming that everyone who died WITH Covid19 died due to COVID19
You're the only person assuming things. We have mountains of evidence to support our conclusions and medical decision making. You have the internet which is a font of disinformation. Again, reread what Birx said about this up above.
You complain that I’ve only shown you only two cases, but you obviously have not been reading all the COVID threads on FR.
I have seen the same old debunked conspiracy theories repeated by the same old debunked conspiracy theorists repeated over and over again. "Man killed by shark dies of Covid"! LOL! "Man run over by bus dies of Covid"! LOL! Give me a break. that's not evidence. That's internet misinformation. And I'm not complaining and I'm not making this personal. You wanted a dialectic. You got it. No need to get angry here.
