Now we learn that only 6% of deaths were from CV alone
The fake news media are going bananas trying to downplay and suppress the statistics recently found on the Center for Disease Control’s website, which says that “For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.”
The Lying Legacy Medianites are accusing those spreading this news on Twitter and other social media as being wild-eyed conspiracy theorists who are misrepresenting the data. Twitter even removed a tweet that President Trump had retweeted because of alleged misrepresentation. Fact is, the vast majority of Americans have almost no confidence in the mainstream media.
So here, look for yourself. Here is the link to the page on the CDC website where you will find this excerpt below and the details in their link to the underlying tables of data. If clicking on the hyperlink does not work, here is the complete URL: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm?fbclid=IwAR2PsyLJHURogDdHZeMAv4DA3X1CUjTa48st_wcDVegDAs1uOiSf5WkuwSo
“Comorbidities
Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death. The number of deaths with each condition or cause is shown for all deaths and by age groups. For data on comorbidities,” (and then it provides a link to the data tables).
As Elizabeth Prata tweeted (emphasis mine—JWB):
“Only 6% of the 161,392 deaths recorded actually died solely from Covid. That's 9,683 deaths from Covid only. Total. The other 94% had 2-3 other serious illnesses ("comorbidities") contributing to death, & most of those were of advanced age (74-85+).”
This is not a misrepresentation at all. That is what the stats say. You don’t need to be Dr. Fauci to understand this! What publicizing this does, though, is to shred the credibility of the fake news media even more, as they and the socialist Dems have been ginning up the numbers from the beginning to instill fear, fear and more fear. It isn’t working anymore.
While you are there at the CDC website, scroll up to the table just above which is labeled:
“Table 1. Deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), pneumonia, and influenza reported to NCHS by sex and age group. United States. Week ending 2/1/2020 to 8/22/2020”
And look at the graph accompanying the table. The graph is labeled: “Provisional Death Count for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).” It is for the Reporting Period 2/1/20 through 8/22/20.
It clearly shows a drastic decline to where presently all age groups except those 75 years and older are in double digits and even the elderly numbers are scarcely over 100 cases!
This is great news for everyone! Oh—except the Dems and their co-conspirators, the mainstream media, who are the real perpetrators of politicizing the issue from the beginning. There goes the need for universal mail-in voting! What we are witnessing is panic, panic and ever more deperate panic on the part of the cabal and their allies.
