CDC amends Florida’s COVID-19 numbers after pushback from state officials
NY Post ^ | 08/11/2021 | David Marcus

Posted on 08/11/2021 9:01:15 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adjusted its COVID-19 tracking for the state of Florida on Tuesday as confusion over reporting practices sparked a feud between federal and state authorities.

After the CDC website showed record high numbers for Sunday, Aug. 8, the Florida Department of Health balked, accusing the agency of folding several days of new cases into one.

The gap was significant, with the CDC initially claiming there were 28,317 new cases on Sunday, while the Florida DOH puts that number at 15,319.

On Tuesday the CDC adjusted its number down to 19,584.

State and county health departments have proven themselves to be nests of vipers.

“NYS counts asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.

CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.”

That’s just crazy talk.*

*This comment, like my previous one, is meant to funny. It appears my comments are only funny to me and everybody else is taking them seriously.

Oh, look what we have here. The CDC faking numbers again. How's your confidence in the VAERS system these days?

I think VAERS is a bit more reliable than medically unqualified anonymous posters.

Cases without hospitalization is VERY GOOD NEWS. It simply means the individual inhaled some virus material, their body is dealing with it nicely, and therefore no need to hospitalize.

Benefit will be NATURAL PRODUCTION of anti-bodies. This is even better than any vaccine created anti-bodies because they will be based on the real virus.

However my MAIN POINT remains, which is the covid vaccines are a BIG NOTHING BURGER due to 0.002% jabbed people reporting adverse effects.

I want all you people who don’t want the jabs...please avoid them. That way we can export them to poor countries where they desperately want them but can’t afford them. That includes people I know personally in Philippines, Thailand and India.

“The CDC is on the warpath to GET DESANTIS.”

,,

The LEFT in general. He’s their target now. Make no mistake this is why they’re lying with COVID numbers.

And you completely refuse to comment on the FACT that the CDC is constantly pumping out false data.

do you ever wonder why the cdc refuses to warn us about the dangers of biden opening the border, inviting, welcoming, and spreading hundreds of thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a “global pandemic”?...

CDC is NOT in charge of border protection. Their only function is DISEASE CONTROL. So CDC conveniently ignores border incursions of infected people, not just with covid, but drug resistant TB and other communicable diseases.

I have never said CDC data is accurate to 3rd decimal point.
But there are limits to their fudging the data. VAERS could be off by 400% and still the risk of adverse effects from vaccine are less than 0.008% = 99.992% safe. If VAERS data is off by a factor of 10 (giving them extreme margin for error) the vaccines safety drops to 99.98% from 99.998% (assuming VAERS numbers are accurate).

My point is even if CDC is fudging VAERS data TEN TIMES the actual, the vaccines are still a BIG NOTHING BURGER statistically in terms of causing adverse effects.

Almost all anti-vaxxers are playing politically instead of statistical facts.

It's not a 'nothing burger' to those actually affected. Shame on you for simply dismissing those victims. The fact that you just completely ignore that people are factoring the risk of these vaccines as a matter of their freedom of choice just reeks of a complete disregard for others from you.

Do you or do your not agree with this statement: "Vaccines pose a potential threat to your health up to and including death. Please consider this when deciding on what is best for your health"

There are many many MORE victims PERCENTAGE wise statistically for hospital surgeries.

With 196 million Americans jabbed, it is asinine to expect 100% safety. There are casualties in EVERY medical procedure, NO EXCEPTIONS. My nephew is a plastic surgeon doing elective surgeries, and he would kill to achieve the safety percentages of covid vaccines.

My heart goes out to the 7000 victims dead from the vaccines.
And at he same time I rejoice in the news that 196 Million Americans volunteered to receive the jabs, and may have MUCH MUCH REDUCED chance of getting seriously sick in the isolation ward of hospitals and thus avoid death.

In any good project there are casualties. We fought WWII and lost thousands of young brave soldiers. But we saved millions from concentration camps and future atrocities by Hitler. There is always a cost to achieve some greater good.

The greater good with covid vaccines is reduced death rates for 196 MILLION Americans at the cost of 7000 or so deaths reported by the Virus Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS). Compute the risk factor...it is less than 0.002%.

DeSantis will follow Trump into defeat if he minimizes the damage from covid. Almost THREE TIMES Americans have chosen to get the jabs compared to votes president Trump received in either election. That shows Americans are terrified of the Chinese flu, RIGHT OR WRONG.

Ignore the reality at your peril.

No reason. Some people do not buy house insurance either. It does not mean their house will burn down. Just because you do not get the vaccine does not mean you will die from covid.
