The CDC classified all deaths that are related to COVID-19 simply as COVID-19 deaths.
Even patients dying from other underlying diseases but are infected with COVID-19 count as COVID-19 deaths.
This is likely the main explanation as to why COVID-19 deaths drastically increased while deaths by all other diseases experienced a significant decrease.
"All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths.
Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary," Briand concluded.
In an interview with The News-Letter, Briand addressed the question of whether COVID-19 deaths can be called misleading since the infection might have exacerbated and even led to deaths by other underlying diseases.
"If [the COVID-19 death toll] was not misleading at all, what we should have observed is an increased number of heart attacks and increased COVID-19 numbers. But a decreased number of heart attacks and all the other death causes doesn't give us a choice but to point to some misclassification," Briand replied.
In other words, the effect of COVID-19 on deaths in the U.S. is considered problematic only when it increases the total number of deaths or the true death burden by a significant amount in addition to the expected deaths by other causes. Since the crude number of total deaths by all causes before and after COVID-19 has stayed the same, one can hardly say,
in Briand's view, that COVID-19 deaths are concerning.
Facebook and Twitter will certainly block this article within hours of its publication.
Just like Johns Hopkins deleted it from its site. The question is ... why?
In summary, IS the COVID pandemic blown out of proportion? FACT:
Deaths from COVID from the CDC... COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics
Again.. the point is COVID deaths are comorbidity and age related! So why are schools, bars closed???

A few days ago Johns Hopkins published a study saying corona is nbd. They then deleted it. Read it here in its entirety.
Johns Hopkins published this study on Sunday which posits that Covid is nowhere near the disaster we're being told it is. I would summarize it for you or offer pull-quotes but honestly you just have to read it yourself because it's mind-blowing. The original article is now deleted from the Johns...
