No COVID numbers can be trusted — NONE

A far-left publication, The Atlantic, reports that according to a new study the numbers of COVID hospitalizations reported might not have been admitted for COV at all. Nearly half might have been admitted for something entirely different.

From the article:

But a new, nationwide study of hospitalization records, released as a preprint today (and not yet formally peer reviewed), suggests that the meaning of this gauge can easily be misinterpreted—and that it has been shifting over time.

If you want to make sense of the number of COVID hospitalizations at any given time, you need to know how sick each patient actually is. Until now, that’s been almost impossible to suss out. The federal government requires hospitals to report every patient who tests positive for COVID, yet the overall tallies of COVID hospitalizations, made available on various state and federal dashboards and widely reported on by the media, do not differentiate based on severity of illness. Some patients need extensive medical intervention, such as getting intubated. Others require supplemental oxygen or administration of the steroid dexamethasone. But there are many COVID patients in the hospital with fairly mild symptoms, too, who have been admitted for further observation on account of their comorbidities, or because they reported feeling short of breath. Another portion of the patients in this tally are in the hospital for something unrelated to COVID, and discovered that they were infected only because they were tested upon admission. How many patients fall into each category has been a topic of much speculation. In August, researchers from Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center, and the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System decided to find out…

…Did they need treatment for COVID, or was there some other reason for admission, like cancer treatment or a psychiatric episode, and the COVID diagnosis was merely incidental? According to the researchers, 40 to 45 percent of the hospitalizations that they examined were for patients in the latter group…

…The study found that from March 2020 through early January 2021—before vaccination was widespread, and before the Delta variant had arrived—the proportion of patients with mild or asymptomatic disease was 36 percent. From mid-January through the end of June 2021, however, that number rose to 48 percent. In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.

Covid testing is a scam. I spent half a day in a hospital and the Next Day tested positive for Covid, three days later, I was Covid free, when I went to the Hospital to get treatment for Walking Pneumonia, I was Covid Free. Six hours later, surrounded by people with Covid, I tested Positive for Covid. Two days and again two weeks later, I was Covid free. I have had Natural Immunity for well over a year and suspect that constant contact with Covid has made my immune system very reactive to Covid. Talking to many health workers, I found that many people had Covid also early on, but have been sent home numerous times for a positive Covid test, just to test clear a few days later without ever having a symptom. There is a huge difference in being exposed to a virus and contracting the virus. Right now the concept is that if you have any contact with Covid you have caught Covid. That’s stupid. What we are seeing when it comes to Covid is a lot of hysteria, guessing, and no science. If fact, well established, peer reviewed science is being ignored for political reasons.

We should be believing nothing from the Federal Government. It is corrupt to the Core and lying to us. Many people who aren’t getting the Vaccine are doing so because they have good doctors who are giving them the facts and they are making a decision based of the facts and their personal research. It doesn’t take much digging to find out that the Government (CDC, FDA, and Politicians) is lying to us. There have been a lot of adverse reactions to the Vaccines. Any other medication would be pulled of the Market. I suspect most of the people not getting a shot are like me; already have Natural Immunity. Democrats want to be able to use Government to force people to do anything the Government wants. If you can force people to take experimental medications, then you can pretty much force them to do anything. Covid is about Control, not Medicine. Some people have called for a Law to outlaw Executive Mandates, but the Constitution does not allow for Execute Mandates. Since the Courts won’t enforce the Constitution, we must find Politicians and Judges who will.

Then we have this………..18 leading scientists, including 2 outgoing FDA officials, say COVID-19 booster shots lack evidence and shouldn’t yet be given to the general public !!

It is also about the data you are never permitted to see. Case in point: CDC knows but is not telling the numbers of people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have gotten the disease again. Is the ratio to tiny to make public? Is “natural immunity” so superior to that of the “vaccines” that the medical establishment is fearful the public will find out?

While Alex Jones and a fews others were already citing the illegitimacy of the scam in March 2020, the crowd seems to be claiming that only now things are being discovered, that is simply wrong. It’s not an opinion that the few warning us from the start were correct. Ignoring objective sources will put you on the wrong track every time.

The case and death numbers were known from April 2020 to be illegitimate. Rules implemented called for the falsification of the records.

A case cannot be the result for a well person from a known defective test. A death cannot be of someone with another cause on the death certificate.
