If you aren’t seeing patients in the hospital, it can be hard to understand how much things have changed.
Overcounting
#COVID19
hosp and death undermines vaccine efficacy and confidence (and uptake).
Thanks

for a great summary of the issue

If
@DrLeanaWen
was an honest and competent scientist and/or medical doctor, she would have written the linked article in March 2020, and acted accordingly to stop the pandemic PANIC.
It is too late to try and undo your massive pandemic mistakes in Jan 2023, Leana.

We needed to overcount deaths before so that we could terrify people into accepting our demands....
but NOW we need to undercount deaths so that we can lie to enough people and force our demands on them...
@ShiraDoronMD
@DrLeanaWen
If this is true why do increases in positivity/wastewater/cases correlate with hospitalizations which then correlate with deaths? Obviously both hospitalizations and deaths on smaller scales each time but still Covid, no?
@ShiraDoronMD
@DrLeanaWen
No, you’re lying by changing the parameters for reporting to fit your false narrative. My 5 times vaccinated husband has been sick with high fevers since 12/19, not testing positive for Covid anymore, but still sick. Technically “not Covid” but clearly it is.

MA reported 23,000 COVID deaths to CDC
CDC reports only 15,000 excess deaths
(As of the end of 2022)
Is it possible there is a 50% overcounting?

Absolutely correct. People need to see the true stats. LA Co. hosp has really had a low number of pts being treated FOR Covid for 1 yr while the graphs show surges of positive asx. tests.
Distinguishing between patients admitted to the hospital with a positive covid test and patients admitted due to covid makes a big difference.

Ah yes, now that there's a product you want to promote, we should move the goalposts & change the rules to make the product look better.
You know what's really undermining vax uptake? Seeing kids and athletes die in huge numbers shortly after they took the vax.

Isn't this the same person that wanted the unvaccinated locked away from the rest of society, indefinitely? A mystery is afoot. Call Shaggy and Scoob. I just hope old Man Peabody isn't involved with his shenanigans and tomfoolery...
