And if someone dies in a motorcycle accident but tests positive for covid, is that a covid death?

That would be easily provable medicare fraud. No hospital wants that kind of scrutiny. Furthermore, if someone dies in a motorcycle crash, he/she isn't going to get tested for Covid. If they survive long enough to get admitted to the ICU, they'll get swabbed as a matter of routine. If they are positive, they'll go to a Covid ICU and their level of care just increased dramatically and the hospital has every right to be reimbursed for that extra level of care. they will not be compensated any more or less if they then die of/with Covid. The extra reimbursement occurs when the person tested positive.

And somebody in a bad motorcycle accident who also has Covid may very well die as a result of the Covid, especially if they made it to the floor. if they make it out of the ER, Covid is probably more likely to kill them than the accident.

Do you think all the deaths that occurred after taking the vaccine are a coincidence?

You know what we like to say: YMMV. I did just fine with the vaccine but, YMMV. maybe the vaccine did kill them. I don't know. It's a pretty small percentage of the 200 million vaccines that have been administered though.

But the corollary is, just because someone tests positive and dies, doesn’t mean they died from covid.

I can't argue with that other than to say it is an argument that attempts to undermine the legitimacy of all or most Covid deaths because a handful of them may have been erroneous. What's more, I think that was probably far more common during wave 1 when there was just mass chaos and confusion. We didn't even have reliable tests back then. It isn't that way now.

‘No hospital wants that kind of scrutiny.’

scrutiny is always the first casualty when the TPTB determine they want something to happen, that may in fact not be happening...
