Well, well, well…
After all the verbal abuse, insinuation, and gas-lighting directed at people who had the nerve to question the official COVID statistics, the CDC recently announced that it has removed from its COVID-19 death tracker tens of thousands of deaths that were somehow misclassified.
Well, well, well indeed.
The data correction resulted in the removal of 72,277 deaths that were reported from twenty-six states. (What about the other twenty-four states? Are they all kosher? My spidey sense tells me that more corrections may be in order.)
The correction also resulted in a twenty-four percent reduction in Covid deaths among children.
Children, especially healthy children, were already at low risk of hospitalization and death. But the news media’s tendency to focus on outliers gave the impression that children were at much higher risk than they actually were. Now it appears that many of these “outliers” were not even outliers. They were simply misclassified.
(I’m reminded of the British government’s SAGE advice to use “hard-hitting emotional messaging” to increase the level of “perceived threat” among “those who are complacent.” Did the CDC follow this advice, I wonder?)
Commenting on the CDC’s adjustment, Dr. Alasdair Munro, a clinical research fellow for pediatric infectious diseases at University Hospital Southampton, says it is “slightly worrying that this data was being used widely in the US to guide or advocate for policy”.
Yes, “slightly worrying” indeed—to put it slightly mildly.
Inquiring minds want to know: To what extent did the CDC’s misinformation—[cough cough] I mean “data”—inform the FDA’s decision to authorize the experimental mRNA shots for children? How many of these shots were sold and injected into children as a result of this misclassification of data and corporate sponsored fearmongering?
We’ll end this one on a happy note.
It seems questioning The Pseudo-Science is becoming increasingly acceptable across the pond in merry old England. Let’s hope this contagion of independent, critical thinking continues to spread.
