Manipulating Wuhan Calculations

[PoliticalChic]

Just one of the many services your Democrat Party provides!



1.Simply by inquiring as to the death toll of the Wuhan Red Death, one can ascertain how attentive, how astute, an individual is…..and, usually, how they voted.

This, from one of the Democrat house organs, the Washington Post:

750,000 Americans dead as many families feel unity in pain ...
https://www.washingtonpost.com › health › 2021/11/03
The nation on Wednesday reached another haunting milestone: 750,000 Americans killed by covid. In the first year and a half of the pandemic, ...


…and this:

Opinion | The official pandemic death toll is 5 million. But ...
https://www.washingtonpost.com › 2021/11/02 › offici...
The official death toll in the pandemic is now 5 million. But it has cost many more lives.


Why the use of vastly inflated numbers?
Because their voters will actually believe them......and because the Wuhan was the Democrat weapon against Trump, and the door-opener for mandates and masks.



2. In actuality, unless there are co-morbidities that would have resulted in death by themselves, the real death toll from covid is about…..zero.

3. As the truism goes, “figures don’t lie, but liars can figure.” And, when you see “liars,” the term “Democrat” won’t be far behind.​

“PolitiFact and Facebook Spread Gravely Dangerous Falsehood About the Covid-19 Survival Rate​

In a PolitiFact article titled “Why the Covid-19 Survival Rate Is Not Over 99%,” staff writer Jason Asenso argues that about 1.7% of U.S. residents who contract Covid-19 die from it. However, he uses a naive approach to calculate this figure, and legitimate methods show that the average Covid-19 survival rate is firmly over 99%.
Medical journals have documented the deadly harms of exaggerating the fatality rate of Covid-19. Nevertheless, Facebook is amplifying PolitiFact’s false claim by using it to censor genuine facts about this issue.


4. PolitiFact calculates the C-19 death rate … 614,300 deaths … which equals 1.7%.
… a 2020 paper published by Cambridge University Press warns that this approach produces a large “mortality overestimation” for Covid-19 because it confuses two very different measures of mortality called the “case fatality rate” and the “infection fatality rate.” The first of these is the rate of death among confirmed cases of the disease, while the second is the rate among everyone who has had it, including people who were asymptomatic or never diagnosed with it.



5. … 13% of all C-19 infections in the U.S. from the outset of the pandemic through September 2020 were “recognized and reported.” This means that for every reported case in the first six months of the pandemic, there were about seven cases that went unreported.”

Meaning…..that the number who died of the Wuhan was about the same as what the seasonal flu was responsible for. With the same symptoms.



When was the entire economy shut down for the flu????

Never, Chicken Little……never.

6. “…high rates of mild and asymptomatic C-19 ensure that many new cases are not reported. In the words of a November 2021 CDC article:
Case reporting underestimates the total number of SARS-CoV-2 infections because of underdetection of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic cases and variation in the use and availability of diagnostic testing.

Despite PolitiFact’s failure to recognize this fact, medical scholars have publicly emphasized it since early in the pandemic.”

Get it???? Politifact, Facebook, et al knew the percentages were far, far lower as fatalities....but they needed to worry you into voting Democrat "to save your life!!!!"


And you fell for it.


That's what makes you a Democrat.

 

[OldFlame]

They're never giving up this narrative, not until something more lucrative comes along, and God help us when that happens.

 

[PoliticalChic]

7. This is the point at which every thinking individual should be reminded of the 30+ lies and hoaxes perpetrated and exposed as having worked to support any narrative of the Democrat Party.


“On a national level, most people now know PolitiFact is nothing but another Obama-shilling mainstream media joke -- an entity so in the tank for the White House it ruled as mostly true that "Barack Obama has lowest spending record of any recent president:"

...using inflation-adjusted dollars, Obama had the second-lowest increase -- in fact, he actually presided over a decrease once inflation is taken into account.
Yes, you read that correctly. According to PolitiFact, when indexed for inflation, Obama reduced spending.

PolitiFact's motto appears to be: The bigger the lie the more people will believe it.” VA Pushes Back Against PolitiFact, Shows Other States the Way



Just like the Washington Post…..a Democrat public relations outlet.

The purpose of covid??? To get rid of Trump.

So they inflate any danger from this flu.

 

[mudwhistle]

They're never giving up this narrative, not until something more lucrative comes along, and God help us when that happens.

this scare tactic is what they thought up after Climate Change became a disaster.

They're going to continue to screw us over Climate Change.....but they're using COVID to pass the legislation they need to screw us royally.

8. “…Dr. Brett Giroir—the Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—informed journalists in March 2020 that the Covid-19 death rate is “lower than you heard probably in many reports” because “many people” with C-19 “don’t get sick and don’t get tested.” He called this a “denominator problem” because all of those people “do not get counted in the denominator.”

By ignoring these masses of unreported cases, PolitiFact’s method shrinks the denominator in the death rate calculation, making the rate seem far higher than reality. As detailed in the Cambridge University Press paper, this blunder was the likely cause of a “10-fold increased mortality overestimation in March 11, 2020, US Congressional testimony.”

“If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%.” PolitiFact and Facebook Spread Gravely Dangerous Falsehood About the Covid-19 Survival Rate - Just Facts


Again?
"...10-fold increased mortality overestimation..."




Soooo…..if the danger from the Wuhan is no more than a rounding error…..tell me again, why did Democrats destroy Trump’s miracle economy, benefitting untold millions of Americans???

 

[PoliticalChic]

9. “…a diverse array of medical journals and organizations have accounted for unreported cases and determined that the C-19 fatality rate is well below 1%. This includes but is not limited to the following:

• In March 2020, Oxford University’s Center for Evidence-Based Medicine estimated that the C-19 fatality rate was well below 1% and ranged from 0.17% to 0.25%. In October 2020, it slightly revised the range to “somewhere between 0.1% and 0.35%.”
• In January 2021, the Bulletin of the World Health Organization published a study that estimated the C-19 fatality rate at 0.23%. This is about 1/15th of the World Health Organization’s March 2020 estimate of 3.4% that failed to account for unreported cases.
• In September 2020, the CDC published the following “best” estimates of Covid-19 infection fatality rates for people of varying ages:

0.003% for people aged 0–19 years.

0.02% for people aged 20–49 years.

0.5% for people aged 50–69 years.

5.4% for people aged 70+ years.”

Yup…..Democrat voters: suckered again. To the detriment of the entire nation.

10. Having informational dominance allows the Democrats to fool the easily fooled:

“Due to widespread misreporting like this article from PolitiFact, the public has been grossly misled about this matter. A scientific survey commissioned by Just Facts in November 2020 found that 65% of U.S. voters believed the C-19 death rate for people aged 70 and above is 25% or higher, and 39% of voters thought that half of everyone in this age bracket died if they caught C-19.” PolitiFact and Facebook Spread Gravely Dangerous Falsehood About the Covid-19 Survival Rate - Just Facts

11. Folks died from what folks always died of: heart disease, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia.The scam was easy to pull off due to two factors:
The media is nothing more than Democrats with press passes.
The majority of the public, it seems, is too fearful of the cancel culture to dare to confront, or even question.

The facts:

“… leading causes of death:

The 10 leading causes of death in 2018 remained the same as in 2017. In 2018, the 10 leading causes of death (heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries, chronic lower respiratory diseases, stroke, Alzheimer disease, diabetes, influenza and pneumonia, kidney disease, and suicide) remained the same as in 2017. Causes of death are ranked according to number of deaths (1). The 10 leading causes accounted for 73.8% of all deaths in the United States in 2018.

A total of 2,839,205 resident deaths were registered in the United States in 2018.” Products - Data Briefs - Number 355 - January 2020


7,778 die each and every day.

With those numbers in mind, and remembering that lots of those deaths, related to the flu or not, were claimed to be due to the covid…..how difficult was it for the anti-Trump forces and their media allies, to keep the public scared to death…and have that work against the most accomplished President in a long, long time?

The uninformed buy it like it was on sale.

12. “…PolitiFact claims that “the data does not show the likelihood of surviving Covid-19.”
Those assertions directly conflict with the CDC document in question, which states that the figures are for the “infection fatality ratio” under “the existing standard of care.” The document leaves no room for misinterpreting this because it defines the infection fatality ratio as “the number of individuals who die of the disease among all infected individuals (symptomatic and asymptomatic).”
PolitiFact and Facebook Spread Gravely Dangerous Falsehood About the Covid-19 Survival Rate - Just Facts



That’s right: blatant, intentional, fabrications.

Just like these:

Democrats lie about everything….on what basis would any of their fabricated data be considered valid???
Here the prism through which every Democrat pronouncement should be viewed: First collusion, collusion, collusion, Russia, Russia, Russia, Obstruction, Obstruction, Obstruction. Racist, Racist, Racist, Impeach, Impeach, Impeach, Recession, Recession, Recession, Emoluments, 25th amendment, “HandsUpDon’tShoot,”Stormy Daniels, lies about Charlottesville fine Nazis, Kurds, Ukraine, Quid Pro Quo, ‘lynching,’ the Kavanaugh hoax, the GAO charges, Lev Parnas, impeachment, coronavirus ‘hoax,’ General Flynn perjury trap, no evidence of voter fraud in the stolen election.....and “More than 50 former intelligence officials signed a letter casting doubt on the provenance of a New York Post story on the former vice president's son."



Don’t forget the Democrats told you that Trump was colluding with Russia…and that wasn’t true. They also told you that so was Naval Academy grad Carter Page and so was George Papadopoulos and so was General Michael Flynn, a three star general and former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency….and all of that was a lie. How stupid must one be to keep believing what they say?
...and, AOC lying about her near-death experience in the Capitol Riots.....when she wasn't even in the Capitol.

And that Biden voters as agents provocateur weren't behind the Capitol Riot.....and that Pelosi knew and refused to allow extra security. They lie about everything.......yet Democrat voters are, ready to swallow the next lie.

And that the Wuhan Red Death did not come from a Chinese Communist lab that got its funding via Dr. Fauci, and its purpose was to remove Trump….

FakeStories: Three years of Russian Collusion stories; altering documents at the DoJ and FBI to railroad political opponents; the state media burying the Hunter Biden Scandal what with Joe getting 10% of the bribes; stories about Kavanaugh rape parties, and Covington Catholic School; Carter Page working for Russia when he was actually working for the CIA….where were those ‘fact checkers’? The great lie that there was an ‘insurrection’ January 6th. The lie that it was Republicans who wanted to defund the police. The lie that Critical Race Theory wasn’t being ta,00ught. The lie that 600,000 died from the Wuhan Red Death.
What should you do when they lied to you at least these 30 times already???????????

Democrats claimed it was Republicans who demanded defunding the police, AOC claimed ten people were killed Jan6th, Ilhan Omar blames the police for crime, they claimed that CRT wasn’t being taught in government school, ….



Yup.....lots of 'em still buying the Wuhan Hoax.

13. “…false fatality rates sparked “exaggerated levels of fear” and “severe mitigating measures” that “caused considerable global social and economic disruption.” Some outcomes of this include “domestic violence, closed businesses and schools, laid off workers,” “anxiety, anger, and posttraumatic stress,” “massive” growth in government debt, alcohol abuse, and preventing “people from seeking needed health-care services.”

Reams of medical publications have confirmed such harms. A tiny sample of these includes studies and analyses from the American College of Emergency Physicians, the journal European Psychiatry, the CDC, the Kaiser Family Foundation, the journal Frontiers in Public Health, and American Journal of Health Economics, and the Journal of the American Medical Association.



Intensifying the risks of these grave dangers, Facebook is using PolitiFact’s misinformation to censor a post which accurately quotes CDC estimates for the death rate. PolitiFact declares this is part of its “partnership with Facebook” to “combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.”

All that remains is to consider the above when judging whether a poster is simply an outright liar, parroting the lies to support their party, or an easily misinformed low-IQ follower.

"The Fading Covid Voter​

Recent polls show that the pandemic’s effect on elections is declining.

...the issue that has dominated politics for the past 18 months and unquestionably helped Biden win the presidency—fighting the pandemic—is rapidly fading as a priority among voters, especially Republicans and independents.

Those voters have shifted their focus to matters that Biden and the Democrats in general fare poorly on right now: the economy, unemployment, and taxes.

Absent a significant new virus outbreak, other voters will likely judge Biden and Democratic congressional and gubernatorial candidates more on their performance on the economy and jobs in the next 12 months—issues that currently favor Republicans by wide margins. Only occasionally in the history of American politics have voter priorities shifted so rapidly. But the response to the Covid-19 pandemic was unprecedented—so our politics may break new ground, too, in the next election cycle."

The Fading Covid Voter

On the heels of last Tuesday’s stinging election results, Democrats got even more unwelcome news early this week. A postelection USA Today poll showed that President Joe Biden’s approval rating had sunk to 38 percent, thanks to his cratering standing among crucial independent voters. Buried deep...
