The Gov't Lied About Covid Deaths

 And even the liberals are beginning to notice. From The Post Millennial: 

    The New York Times is now quietly admitting that the death toll from Covid-19 was overcounted by at least a third.

    Buried in the 17th paragraph of a newsletter titled "A Positive COVID Milestone" by David Leonhardt, a former Washington bureau chief for the outlet wrote: “The official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had [the] virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause of death. Other CDC data suggests that almost one-third of official recent Covid deaths have fallen into this category. A study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases came to similar conclusions.”

But at the same time the government was exaggerating the number of deaths due to Covid, it was working to cover up deaths from the Covid vaccines. Earlier this month, we learned (via the Brownstone Institute) that the "CDC Altered Minnesota Death Certificates that List a Covid Vaccine as a Cause of Death." From that article:

As we shall document, the CDC is concealing references to a covid vaccine on Minnesota death certificates (that are exceedingly rare to begin with because of widespread medical establishment denialism of vaccine adverse side effects). In almost every death certificate that identifies a covid vaccine as a cause of death, the CDC committed data fraud by not assigning the ICD 10 code for vaccine side effects to the causes of death listed on the death certificate.

 As the article explains, although a medical practitioner will complete a death certificate, it is the CDC that will assign International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes that are then used to generate statistics used and disseminated by the CDC. Although the acronym includes "Diseases" it actually includes causes of deaths due to most anything, including various forms of accidents. "There are two ICD 10 codes for vaccine side effects that can be broadly used for the Covid vaccines – T88.1 and Y59.0," the article states, with the first being "other" complications due to vaccinations not otherwise listed in the codes, and the later specifically for viral vaccines. 

    The article goes on to detail seven death certificates where the ICD code was omitted even though the death certificate specifically listed the vaccine (or a side-effect thereof) as one of the causes of death.

• "Damning Audit Shows New York Paid Up To $14,050 For Injecting ONE Covid-19 'Vaccine'"--Conservative Playbook (reprinting an Epoch Times article).

    Under the contract, Executive Medical Services would be paid $150 per hour all sites, plus $100 per test administered and $25 per vaccine administered. The department was the party responsible for monitoring contractor performance, but the plan lacked standards for whether sites were appropriately staffed based on demand, auditors said. That left the department with “limited means of effectively controlling expenditures or minimizing waste.”

    Auditors analyzed a sample of 49 invoices and documentation for the invoices and found that one test was administered per 1.6 staff hours, and that one vaccination was administered every two staff hours.

    Auditors also found ballooning costs, including payments of up to $14,050 for each vaccination administered and payments of up to $2,040 for each test carried out.

• "CDC Director knew COVID vax did not prevent infection"--Hot Air. The CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, has repeatedly stated that the vaccines prevented infection and transmission of the virus, even as late as June 2023 telling Congress that initially the vaccines had done so and only more recently become less effective due to mutations. However, as the article reveals, emails from Walensky in January 2021 showed she was discussing vaccine "breakthrough" with colleagues.

The three were Ben Hu, Ping Yu, and Yan Zhu, "all members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus and were partaking in gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) on SARS-like coronaviruses."

From the lede: "Over the past three years, the federal government distributed more than $4.2 trillion in aid connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than $400 billion of it—nearly one in every $10 spent—was either wasted or stolen, according to a new report." All $4.2 trillion was wasted, in reality.

    Secondary bacterial infection of the lung (pneumonia) was extremely common in patients with COVID-19, affecting almost half the patients who required support from mechanical ventilation. By applying machine learning to medical record data, scientists at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine have found that secondary bacterial pneumonia that does not resolve was a key driver of death in patients with COVID-19, results published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

    Bacterial infections may even exceed death rates from the viral infection itself, according to the findings. The scientists also found evidence that COVID-19 does not cause a “cytokine storm,” so often believed to cause death.

• "Parents infuriated as migrants enroll in Chicago schools without health records after years of COVID rules"--Fox News. An excerpt:

    Mother Jennifer Preston joined "Fox & Friends First" on Thursday to discuss the hypocrisy of requiring vaccination records from residents, while migrants are allowed to enroll without such documents.

    "Right now in the school district in which we live we have to provide residency, citizenship, health records and vaccination records on an almost annual basis. I have a child right now, and I must have five emails in my inbox stating that my child cannot return to school next year without a specific vaccine. So it's certainly inconsistent with what they're allowing for the migrant children coming into the Chicago public schools."

• "The Four Pillars of Medical Ethics Were Destroyed in the Covid Response"--Brownstone Institute. The four pillars are: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. An excerpt:

The demolition of these core principles was deliberate. It originated at the highest levels of COVID policymaking, which itself had been effectively converted from a public health initiative to a national security/military operation in the United States in March 2020, producing the concomitant shift in ethical standards one would expect from such a change. As we examine the machinations leading to the demise of each of the 4 Pillars of Medical Ethics during COVID, we will define each of these four fundamental tenets, and then discuss how each was abused.

• "BOMBSHELL – Pfizer and FDA Knew in Early 2021 That Pfizer mRNA COVID “Vaccine” Caused Dire Fetal and Infant Risks, Including Death. They Began an Aggressive Campaign to Vaccinate Pregnant Women Anyway"--Daily Clout.  According to Pfizer's own report, out of 678 case reports looking at pregnant women who received the vaccine or infants exposed through breast feeding, there were 210 with no adverse events (AEs) and 248 with AEs. Of the latter, there were 51 spontaneous abortions and 6 premature deliveries. Correlation does not equal causation, but the results are concerning. 
• "Fauci absolves himself of responsibility for lockdowns in testy interview: 'Show me a school that I shut down'"--Fox News. Sort of like Stalin absolving himself of the millions of deaths he caused because he didn't personally pull the trigger.
• "600,000 Americans Per Year Are Dying From COVID Shots Says Top Insurance Analyst"--The Florida Standard. 

    Those vaccinated against COVID-19 have a 26 percent higher mortality rate on average compared to those who declined the jab – and the death toll is even more staggering for vaccinated people under 50 years old, where mortality is 49 percent higher than for those unvaccinated.

    The shocking numbers are based on government data from the United Kingdom and were brought to Senator Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) attention by Josh Stirling, one of the nation’s top insurance analysts and formerly Senior Research Analyst for U.S. nonlife insurance at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.
