Over-Reporting CV-19 Deaths

By May 28, 2024Commentary3 min read

One of the primary features of the CV-19 epidemic was the terror campaign designed to keep people locked in their basements, never seeing or talking to another person.  The dangers of CV-19  and the benefits of “social distancing” were grotesquely exaggerated.  As part of the terror campaign, the number of hospitalizations and deaths attributable to CV-19 were lied about, and I say lied intentionally, because those making the statements knew they were not accurate.  Hospitalizations and deaths were primarily overstated by treating anyone who ever had an infection as either being hospitalized or dying because of that infection.  That is only a mild over-simplification of what occurred.  People hospitalized for one reason but who had a positive CV-19 test were included as CV-19 hospitalizations, as were those who actually acquired CV-19 in the hospital.  I believe hospitalizations were over-stated by at least a third.

In regard to deaths, any mention of CV-19 on a death certificate was enough to include it in the fatality toll.  In a high percentage of these cases CV-19 had nothing to do with the death.  I personally reviewed a large percentage of Minnesota death certificates and found that, for example, for those under 30 who supposedly died of CV-19, in maybe one or two cases the viral infection actually played a role.  As with hospitalizations, I believe the CV-19 death toll was overstated by at least a third.  A new study buttresses the conclusion that deaths were inflated.  Death certificates have a section for underlying cause of death and one for contributing cause of death.  The authors compared the ratio of where CV-19 appeared on a death certificate to similar rates for influenza and pneumonia.

They found a systematic over-reporting of CV-19 as the underlying cause of death, by a factor of 2.5 to 3 compared to the other viral respiratory diseases.  Those filling out death certificates were far more likely to list CV-19 as the cause of death, rather than a contributing disease, than was the case with either influenza or pneumonia.  The results of the study suggest that perhaps the majority of deaths listed as attributable to CV-19 were not in fact caused by it as a primary factor.  This is consistent with what every clinical review of death certificates has concluded.   (RG Article)

    I remember Dr. Scott Jenson was contacted by CDC(?) how to “properly” fill out death certificates. Disgusting.

    There has also been some evidence presented that the information resources like World Data were actually only computer projections and not actual data! And don’t forget that Fauci didn’t know the difference between case fatality rate and infection fatality rate!
