General public is very misinformed on cold (and flu) virus mortality risk to non-seniors and hospitalization rate for those infected.

Brookings.edu: How misinformation is distorting COVID policies and behaviors

December 22, 2020
Using monthly data from 35,000 U.S. adults who responded to the Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of Recovery Study, we document significant variation in the understanding of COVID-related facts and concomitant behaviors. ..

When asked to estimate the share of deaths by age group, the average American dramatically overestimates the share of COVID-19 deaths from people aged 24 and younger, putting it around 8%, when in fact it was 0.1% ...

The fact that COVID-19 poses a much higher mortality risk to the old than the young was the most clear feature of the virus from very early on; it is remarkable that many Americans remain misinformed about this basic factor...

In December, we asked, “What percentage of people who have been infected by the coronavirus needed to be hospitalized?”

The correct answer is not precisely known, but it is highly likely to be between 1% and 5% according to the best available estimates, and it is unlikely to be much higher or lower. We discuss the data and logic behind this conclusion in the appendix.

Less than one in five U.S. adults (18%) give a correct answer of between 1 and 5%. Many adults (35%) say that at least half of infected people need hospitalization. If that were true, the millions of resulting patients would have overwhelmed hospitals throughout the pandemic.

Democrats are much more likely than Republicans to overestimate this harm. Forty-one percent of Democrats and 28% of Republicans answered that half or more of those infected by COVID-19 need to be hospitalized...

These errors in factual knowledge appear to have important real-world implications. Those who overestimate risks to young people or hold an exaggerated sense of risk upon infection are more likely to favor closing schools, restaurants, and other businesses...

Just over half of U.S adults say they would be willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to Gallup data, though the number appears to be increasing. When asked why they wouldn’t want the vaccine, concerns about a rushed timeline and safety account for roughly half of those unwilling to get it...

To isolate how exposure to discreet pieces of information may affect attitudes, we randomly assigned people to read short news-like segments, averaging 44 words each. These pieces of content were all accurate summaries of relevant data, advice, or the results of COVID-specific research, and they were chosen to be either reassuring or alarming with respect to the threat from the disease (see Appendix, Table 1 for full list)...

The results of this experiment show that people exposed to alarming news (about record-high cases or hospitalizations) were significantly less likely to support re-opening restaurants or bars for indoor services and significantly less likely to support re-opening schools (elementary or secondary) or universities to in-person learning.

lockdownsceptics.org: If Lockdowns are Needed, Why Did More People Die in U.S. States Which Locked Down Than Those Which Did Not?

April 18, 2021
During the autumn and winter a new surge in Covid infections prompted most US states, like most Western countries, to reimpose restrictions. But a few resisted. Eleven states did not impose a stay-at-home order and left people at liberty to leave their homes whenever they wished. Of these, four – Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and South Dakota – did not impose any restrictions at all and treated it pretty much like any other winter.

Although there are various differences between states that might have affected Covid outcomes, because they all form part of one country there are enough similarities to make comparisons useful. ..

In the chart above I have used data from Worldometer [up to April 16] to plot the current total Covid deaths per million for each state. I have coloured the 11 states which did not lock down (i.e., impose a stay-at-home order) this winter in red. I have also calculated the average for the two groups of states, those which did not lock down over the winter and those which did, and coloured them in yellow.

As you can see, states which did not lock down over the winter, far from having many times more Covid deaths, have actually had fewer – 1,671 vs 1,736 deaths per million. There may be demographic or other reasons that some states have a higher or lower number of deaths than others so we shouldn’t read too much into the precise differences. But even so, if lockdowns are supposed to suppress the virus to low levels and thus prevent ‘hundreds of thousands’ of deaths (or the population equivalent), then how is this possible? The only conclusion is that lockdowns do not work as intended and do not suppress the virus...

This conclusion is reinforced by looking at the death tolls in the four states which imposed no restrictions at all over the winter, the average of which is 1,716 deaths per million, which is still below that of those which imposed lockdowns (1,736). Florida reopened in the autumn, Georgia and South Carolina in the spring of 2020, and South Dakota never closed. Yet overall they have suffered fewer Covid deaths per million than the states which imposed stay-at-home lockdowns this winter.

" If Lockdowns are Needed, Why Did More People Die in U.S. States Which Locked Down Than Those Which Did Not?"

Nobody ever dies in the U.S. The simple explanation for this is because nobody lives there and a precursor for a dying is to be diagnosed "living". Sort of like that Bruce Willis movie where the kid admits to talking to people who have no clue that they are not among the living.

Global Research: CDC Violated Law to Inflate COVID Cases and Fatalities

By Dr. Joseph MercolaMercola 18 April 2021
In this interview, Dr. Henry Ealy, ND, BCHN, better known as Dr. Henele, a certified holistic nutritionist and founder/executive community director of the Energetic Health Institute,1 reviews how U.S. federal regulatory agencies have manipulated COVID-19 statistics to control the pandemic narrative...

In October 2020, Henele and a team of other investigators published a paper2 in Science, Public Health Policy and the Law, titled, “COVID-19 Data Collection, Comorbidity & Federal Law: A Historical Retrospective,” which details how the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has enabled the corruption of case- and fatality-reporting data in violation of federal law...

What we started to see, very early on, were some significant anomalies between what the states were reporting and what the CDC was saying...

What was incredibly concerning about this was that it was all done without any federal oversight, and it was all done without any public comment, especially scientific comment. That became increasingly problematic. We started to see discrepancies in the state of New York alone, in the thousands of fatalities.”..

Importantly, in March 2020, there was a significant change made to the definition of what a COVID-19 fatality was. As explained by Henele, there’s a handbook on death reporting, which has been in use since 2003...

Contributing factors are not necessarily statistically recorded. It’s the first part, the actual cause of death, that is most important for statistical accounting. March 24, 2020, the NVSS updated its guidelines on how to report and track COVID-19-related deaths...

“They were saying that COVID-19 should be listed in Part 1 for statistical tracking, but [only] in cases where it is proven to have caused death, or was assumed to have caused death,” Henele explains.

“What was really concerning about this document was that it specifically stated that any preexisting conditions should be moved from Part 1, where it has been put for 17 years, into Part 2.

So, it was basically taking this and saying, ‘We’re going to create exclusive rules for COVID-19 and we’re going to do a 180 for this single disease …’ The big problem with that is that now you remove the ability for a medical examiner, a coroner, a physician, to interpret [the cause of death] based upon the collective health history of that patient …

You remove their expertise, and you say, ‘You have to count this as COVID-19.’ That takes on an added measure when you incentivize it financially, and that’s what we saw with some of the Medicare and Medicaid payouts …”

Since they did not register the proposed change, there was no oversight and no possibility for the public to comment on the change. Basically, what happened is that these changes were simply implemented without following any of the prescribed rules. “They acted unilaterally, and that’s not how [it] is supposed to work,” Henele says.

As to who took it upon themselves to alter the reporting rules, we don’t know. To identify the culprits, Henele and his team have sent out formal grand jury investigation petitions to every U.S. attorney and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), requesting a thorough, independent and transparent investigation...

“We’ve accumulated about 10,000 hours of collective team research into this [paper]. It’s been reviewed by nine attorneys and a judge for accuracy. It’s gone through the peer-review process before being published. We feel it’s tight.

On page 20 of the paper, we have a big graphic showing what the estimated actual fatality count should have been as of August 23, 2020. What was reported on August 23 was 161,392 fatalities caused by COVID-19 …

Had we used the 2003 guidelines, our estimates are that we would have roughly 9,684 total fatalities due to COVID-19. That’s a significant difference. That’s a difference on the scale of as much as 96%. The range that we calculated was 88.9% to 96% inflation.”

Indeed, this matches up with an admission by the CDC in late August 2020, at which time they admitted that only 6% of the total death count had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death. The remaining 94% had had an average of 2.6 comorbidities or preexisting health conditions that contributed to their deaths...

Mainstream media have justified pandemic measures “based on the science,” yet the very foundation of science has been violated. The ramifications are enormous, from the destruction of local economies and skyrocketing suicide rates to people being forced to die alone, their family members being barred from being at their bedside during their last moments...

In their paper, Henele and his team detail a timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic and federal laws that impact data handling. Here’s a summary...

In addition to the manipulation of fatality statistics, the statistics of “cases” were also manipulated. Traditionally, a “case” is a patient who is symptomatic; someone who is actually ill. When it comes to COVID-19, however, a “case” suddenly became anyone who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 using a PCR test, or worse, assumed positive based on proximity to someone who tested positive...

As discussed in many other articles, it appears the COVID-19 pandemic has in fact been a preplanned justification for the implementation of a global technocrat-led control system, which includes a brand-new financial system to replace the central bank-manufactured fiat economy that is now at the end of its functional life. Fiat currency is manufactured through the creation of debt with interest attached, and the whole world is now so laden with debt it can never be repaid.

If people understood how the central banks of the world have pulled the wool over our eyes, we would simply demand an end to the central banks. Currency ought to be created and managed nationally.

The central banks, of course, do not want this reality to become common knowledge, because then they will no longer be able to manipulate all the countries of the world, so they need the economic breakdown to appear natural. For that, they need a global catastrophe, such as a major war, or a fearsome pandemic necessitating the shutdown of economies.

Through this willful manipulation of case- and fatality statistics, the CDC has been complicit in willful misconduct by generating needless fear that has then been used against you to rob you of your personal freedoms and liberties and help usher in this massive transfer of wealth and global tyranny. As noted by Henele, “People are going to be complicit in their own slavery. People are complicit in putting digital shackles around themselves and really restricting their civil liberties.”

Hopefully, people will begin to understand how pandemic statistics have been, and still are, manipulated to control the narrative and generate unjustified fear for no other reason than to get you to comply with tyrannical measures designed to enslave you, not just temporarily but permanently.

According to their own data the 2020 cold and flu lockdowns and health-care totalitarianism correlated with flu season worse than the previous year!



thebluestateconservative.com: CDC Data Shows Flu Deaths Stayed Constant in 2020, Except There Were No Flu Cases

April 30, 2021
In the past few weeks, there has been a surge of mainstream media reporting on the absence of a flu season. Outlets like USA Today, Newsweek, and The New York Times count as just a few names within the left-wing media cabal publishing identical stories. If they are reporting something, it can almost be certain that the reportage is untrue. Therefore, what is the real truth regarding flu statistics?

CDC mortality data shows that the flu was still categorized as the 10th leading cause of death in the United States in 2020. Amazingly, there was actually an 8% increase in flu deaths from [2019] to the one last year. All told, some 53,000 Americans allegedly died from the flu. Who knew?

The figures are pretty remarkable, considering that no flu testing was done last year nor was any mention made of the flu at all raising the alarm. CDC data from a section of their labyrinthine site reveals that there were a total of just 243 positive lab specimens for the 2020-2021 flu season. Normally, they identify tens of thousands of positive samples. Comparatively, for the prior flu season a total of almost 47,000 positives were identified and the year before resulted in 46,000 positive identifications of flu. This year, though, and out of a population of 330 million Americans, they found just 243 positive flu cases. Still, despite not testing for the flu this past year at all, they still believe it was a serious killer...

Some graphics from another useful page on the CDC’s website allows for some manipulation of data to compare the most recent flu season to years past... Through these visual representations, it is easily discerned that the flu did not make an appearance this year.

With all of this in mind, how does the CDC report more than 50,000 deaths attributable to a non-existent phenomenon? Moreover, where is the proportional hysteria over this lethal microbe? 50,000 Americans is no small feat, and yet there was absolute silence over the concern of its alleged virulence.

The disconnect between flu cases and flu deaths exposes just one more collapse of trust for the medical community. Whether through fraud (see: Anthony Fauci), hypocrisy (see: Lori Lightfoot, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom et al), malpractice (see: lockdowns, masks, etc.), treatments (see: hydroxychloroquine, zinc, vitamin D, ivermectin, etc.), or death certificates (see: probable Covid exposure), there is little reconciling the institution with the average American citizen.

The real kicker is that it is nearly impossible to think that a flu season just didn’t happen or that it didn’t kill anyone. If that were true, it would be the first time in recorded history where there was no flu and no death from flu. What makes more sense: That there was no flu season or that the flu season was simply reimagined to fit political narratives? There is no joy in answering that question, as it erodes trust not only in the medical establishment, but in our ruling establishment writ large

Okay, this info belongs in the "faking the numbers" category:

So, it looks like they are going to rig the post vax numbers, by changing the PCR cycles. Pre-vax, in order to get the number of cases up, they were doing 40-45 cycles. And now, to track post vax infections, they are going to use 28 cycles.

It's all RIGGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a tweet from Alex Berenson:

https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/sta...19126270353413

Wow. WOW. @cdcgov
only wants to examine post-vaccine infections with a PCR threshold of 28 or under. That standard ignores 90+% of #Covid infections. The entire epidemic would have looked very different if it had been used. "An RT-PCR Ct value ≤28" https://cdc.gov/vaccines/covid

CDC Suddenly Concerned About Covid ‘False Positive’ Tests, After Ignoring The Blatant ‘Casedemic’ From The Beginning

HAF May 4, 2021
https://humansarefree.com/2021/05/cd...casedemic.html

The CDC has issued new guidelines for measuring “breakthrough” Covid cases (a vaccinated person contracting the virus), recommending that the PCR test cycles be dialed down to below 28 to avoid false positives.

False positives could undermine support for the vaccine.

This move makes sense… but what about an entire year of testing the general population with a cycle of 40 or above?

Remember this article: FDA Admits PCR Tests Give False Results, Prepares Ground For Biden To ‘Crush’ Casedemic?

[jimswift]

below 28 to avoid false positives.

This is NOW being done to get people to perceive that the shot works....look, no more positive test results.

[Amanda]

On the faking the death count, looks like they are giving a financial incentive for families to get their loved one's death coded instead of heart attack, falling off a ladder, gunshot, etc:

https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/sta...47268506206209 (click on link and see add from FEMA COVID -19 funeral program)

When it comes to funerals, looks like $35,500 is the new $9,000. Added bonus: “there is no requirement for the deceased person to be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or qualified alien.” This definitely will not lead people to reclassify deaths as caused by Covid.

Never ending BS from the most corrupt government EVER. Not a government anymore--just the Satanic central bankers' giant organized crime operation.

deadline.com: Masks May Become Seasonal Wear, Dr. Anthony Fauci Says On ‘Meet The Press’

May 10, 2021
On Sunday, Fauci again opined about mask etiquette.

“We’ve had practically a non-existent flu season this year merely because people were doing the kinds of public health things that were directed predominantly against COVID-19,” Fauci said.

“So it is conceivable that as we go on, a year or two or more from now, that during certain seasonal periods when you have respiratory-borne viruses like the flu, people might actually elect to wear masks to diminish the likelihood that you’ll spread these respiratory-borne diseases,” Fauci said.

He also predicted that we won’t see another surge in COVID-19 cases this fall if the majority of Americans get the vaccine.

“The fact that we have vaccines right now … is really a game changer,” Fauci said on NBC.

Of course, many Americans have not yet been vaccinated, either by choice or because the various jabs aren’t available to them.

“That’s the reason … why we plead with people to get vaccinated because the larger proportion of the population that’s vaccinated, the less likelihood that in a season like the coming fall or winter you’re going to see a significant surge,” Fauci said.

CDC: COVID-19 Breakthrough Case Investigations and Reporting

April 30, 2021
Establishing a vaccine breakthrough case definition
A person who has SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen detected on a respiratory specimen collected ≥14 days after completing the primary series of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized COVID-19 vaccine...


As previously announced, CDC is transitioning to reporting only patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection that were hospitalized or died to help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance. That change in reporting will begin on May 14, 2021. In preparation for that transition, the number of reported breakthrough cases will not be updated on May 7, 2021.

Vaccine breakthrough cases are expected. COVID-19 vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control. However no vaccines are 100% effective at preventing illness. There will be a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated who still get sick, are hospitalized, or die from COVID-19.

So after taking the vaccine, a reported diagnosis of a case of Covid is going from asymptomatic and majority false positive PCR testing or a cough, etc. (as per the last 14 months or so) to needed hospitalization or died?

Whats next for manipulated vaccine science? ‘Vaccinated Covid related death only if no underlying health conditions and no co-morbitiy factors?
