A top-quality study. In fact, it probably goes deeper than this.


A recent study shows that COVID-19 hospitalization numbers in the United States could be highly exaggerated, as almost half of hospitalized patients only displayed “mild” symptoms, suggesting that they were likely admitted due to reasons unrelated to COVID-19.​
The study (pdf), conducted by Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center, and the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, is awaiting peer review.
“With widespread vaccination, the current definition of COVID-19 hospitalizations includes progressively more mild or incidental diagnoses, for example, cases identified prior to surgery or prior to discharge, rather than hospitalizations due to severe COVID-19,” the study reads.​
The study pointed out that with routine, and often mandatory, COVID-19 screening testing of all admissions, the number of hospitalizations caused by the CCP virus may be “substantially” overestimated.​
“In a pediatric population, 41 percent of reported admissions associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection were for reasons other than COVID-19, rates similar to those found when the simple definition of moderate to severe disease was applied in our cohort,” the study of the older population continues, citing two previous studies.​
Both pediatric studies, which have already been peer-reviewed and published in May, reached similar conclusions. One claimed that most hospitalized children who tested positive for COVID-19 were asymptomatic or had a reason for hospitalization other than COVID-19. The other study concluded that “45 percent [of] admissions were categorized as unlikely to be caused by SARS-CoV-2.”​

The government's overreaction to Covid, and the subsequent power seizures and attempted cover-ups, at all levels of government, will be the greatest political scandal in the history of our country.
 
Follow the money. It is all about $$$$ for hospitals.

...

SFGATE reached out to three major hospitals — Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital as well as the Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health systems — that operate in the Bay Area and asked whether they collected any data that could inform whether the national trend from the VA study is also seen in the Bay Area.

A spokesperson for San Francisco General said the hospital does not collect such data, and that hospital officials cannot say one way or another whether mild and symptomatic cases are making up a larger proportion of COVID-19 hospitalizations.

Representatives for Kaiser and Sutter Health were similarly unable to provide any internal hospitalization data related to patient symptoms and disease severity.

Yet the release and original source remains the Wuhan Laboratory in China as the epicenter. Neither Joey Xi Bai Dung nor the rest of the world are holding them responsible.
 
Might be???

No doubt the virus sucks but government lies are no better.

exactly, whoever wrote that article is living on a deserted island.

thats ancient old news that the numbers are inflated to scare people to take the vaccine

How about you paste the body of that article here. So we can scrutinize it.
 
Non-covid hospitalization stayed close to what was predicted in 2020:

Here is a different take on it...



It is interesting that they looked only a VA Hospital data.

This blows out the window the idea they were doing it for the money.

Thank you. It's an interesting look at the situation. If it's true that there are many patients there for other reasons that coincidentally have COVID it could affect the thoughts on transmission rates as well.

I'll be curious to see more information as it becomes available.

I have to vehemently disagree- it’s also about money for the pharmaceutical companies as well.
