And they still get their data from hospitals which are not fraudulently reporting numbers. And also research to minimize deaths falsely attributed to Covid. Either way the excess deaths are WELL above what has been classified as covid.
Sure whatever you say. Fact hospitals get a 20% increase for a COVID and in some cases 50k extra for a COVID patient. So your saying no way tgey would be incentivize to skew the data and not to mention the COVID test reporting false positives from previously infected individuals who were recovered and healthy.

That’s only from Medicare or uninsured patients and only for care related to Covid. And that’s part of the CARES act to offset lost funds due to a significant amount of resources diverted to Covid care. It’s not like they get rewarded for having a Covid death. So the patient has to fall into those categories and then still test positive. It’s up to you if you think that every healthcare worker everywhere is willing to risk their job and jail on that level of fraud. And still after ALL of that, it doesn’t lead to an increase in deaths reported as covid.

Are you equally upset that airlines got a bailout?

This is about skewing the numbers not about the bailout money. I do not have a dog in the hunt about the airlines getting bailout money.

This supposed to prove your point, from your article?

“Additionally, Dr. Emily Landon of University of Chicago Medicine said nearly everyone who had COVID-19 at the time they died will be counted as a coronavirus-related death by their local health department because, “there’s no other way for them to make up statistics properly.”

“This is kind of like the fog of war. It’s really hard to tell what’s happening in the middle of a pandemic,” Landon said.

However, Landon said “almost everyone” that has passed away with COVID-19 died, “largely because of COVID or because of complications COVID may have brought on.”

The point is that it is not some astronomically large number. They go back and weed out obvious other causes. There is zero evidence for widespread fraud or inflated Covid death numbers. And there are still significantly higher than average deaths in addition to those already attributed to Covid.

Only two numbers are for sure —-excess deaths in 2020 and population from the census. 522,368 excess deaths and 331 million people residing in the US— meaning a PFR of 0.158. Everything else is up for grabs.

I’d bet the next two years we will see “below normal” excess deaths accounting for the many elderly whose death was made early due to COVID or complications from it. Over the decade, it’ll average out.

I simply don't want my own cells becoming targets for my immune system. This might train an immune system to fight COVID, but it's like live-fire training with fellow countrymen dressed in enemy uniforms. Seriously, no thanks.

There's evidence that the mRNA carrying lipid nanoparticle can cross the blood-brain barrier. Neurons getting obliterated might explain the brain-fog issues. Neurons don't regenerate.

I'm also concerned about longer term effects such as prion disease. I've read the theory and debunkings, but it's pretty clear that both sides are speculating. We won't know the long term effects in the short term. It wouldn't be the first time a programmer delivered a bug-free program that wasn't actually bug-free.
So why not get the J&J? It’s not mRNA. I don’t care either way. You do you and I’m fine with it.

I saw this last night on CBS news….might be of interest to those looking for a reason to get the shot. I had incorrectly thought mrna vaccines were effective even for immune compromised people.
