in case any of you were in any danger of thinking that any of this was ever about anything but politics, watch as the brandon administration, desperate in its plummeting polls and menaced by the impending mid-term rout switches jerseys and joins team “we should not be counting those who went to the hospital for some reason other than covid and later tested positive.”
ummm
apparently, unable to get hospitalization down with their endless vaccine push, they are going to finally go with the one sure sure way to do it: change the way we count the numbers.
welcome to where the smart part of the class was in april. of 2020.
The Biden administration is working on recalculating the number of Covid-19 hospitalizations in the U.S., according to two senior officials familiar with the matter.
A task force comprised of scientists and data specialists at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are working with hospitals nationwide to improve Covid-19 reporting. The group is asking hospitals to report numbers of patients who go to the facility because they have Covid-19 and separate those from individuals who go in for other reasons and test positive after being admitted, the two officials said.
my goodness! what next, ending the relentless testing of people with no symptoms, the use of an overclocked PCR test that is manifestly unsuited to purpose?
because that sure would drop cases.
(and if they keep using PCR in hospitals, especially high Ct PCR, the number will remain inflated)
requiring covid as actual proximate cause of death and not just accepting trace findings and calling it all covid deaths?
that will sure drop the number. (probably by 75-80%)
is this policy finally going to end?
this is a massive capitulation. it’s the outright admission that the metrics and measures they have used all along have been fraud or so close to fraud that you would not want to live off the difference.
they have systematically overcounted everything in a manner used for no other pathology. it has led to outlandish inflation of figures and of perceived threat. it was, from the very beginning, a conjured hobgoblin to scare you into compliance.
it ruined lives and livelihoods, abrogated freedoms, trampled rights, and broke brains. we’re going to be years digging out of this mess.
and now, because it suits the exigent needs of an impending election, it all gets memory holed?
sorry, but you do NOT get to do that.
this fact has been being screamed from rooftops for 2 long years. and it was ignored.
it was never about science. it was about politics. and it is about politics now.
this is going to backfire massively.
can they seriously think that anyone will be deceived by this volte face? that what, the science changed? new info came to light?
this is weapons grade goalpost moving because they do not like the way the score is piling up.
(and i fully expect them to slant this in application to make the past look bad and the present better. this sort of backward looking data slope slant is de rigueur in climate science where adulterating data to cool the past and warm the present to accentuate claims of rise has been going on for decades. they will use it to make vaccines look like they worked and like biden outperformed trump. this will be a colossal rig job as they apply it backward.)
this behavior proves, beyond any doubt that they knew better and chose to do it wrong because it suited their needs.
and now their needs have changed and so they will change the numbers.
they know exactly what effect this will have. they just did not want that effect seen previously.
every last politician who pushed this should lose office. all of them.
pardon my french, but talk to my fluffy feline butt you abject failures of leadership. go peddle your mendacious malignancies elsewhere. or better yet, just be quiet and go away.
I know many people for whom this will work just fine. They will just remove the current thumb drive from their arse and insert the one with the new narrative.
Yes. They're the same people who, once they got COVID after being 'vaccinated' (and boosted), acted liked of COURSE they got COVID. That was always the plan. The vaccine was always just supposed to prevent them from dying or something. Yup. They'll buy this hook, line and sinker.
Self driving cars, I mean sheeple, regardless of the software update, will continue to crash. Getting to that group pre-airbag deployment will be the challenge.
It's believed that Ferguson uses an old Atari for his magical predictions. Nothing wrong with an Atari but when you put rubbish in you get garbage out.
Most people are imbeciles that can flip what they 'know' by the time Walensky or Fauci have finished telling them what they must henceforth *believe*.
The average respondent to surveys, believes that between 5 and 9% of their respective national populations, has died as a result of Fauci's bioweapon. The real number - as anyone with half a brain knows - is <0.2% (including both 'of' and 'with').
By mine own calculations (and independly by some others, who arrive at similar numbers) I would say you are just a tiny bit under. My "go-to" figure is 0.16% of population per year. So by now, double that to 0.32%. That is the old "with-covid" numbers. So divide by roughly 20 to get the "only from Covid" figures.
It's worth mentioning, although probably I preach to the choir here, that in "rich" nations about 0.9% of the population dies in a normal year. So 0.16% isn't really much to panic about. In fairness, yes more people have been dying since 2019 and some of that is lkely due to the virus.
Yep, already have friends justifying everything and I'm still the village idiot who's gonna get the ro and die and I kinda deserve it. "The science has changed!" "Variants!" Etc. Bleh. Meh. Eh. Blah.
Don't forget to use conversion between metric/imperial to further your gain (or loss rather).
You can get a lot of "correct" results that way, especially if you switch back and forth between different systems of rounding; 0.5 can become either 1 or 0 as needed.
A friend lost her uncle a few weeks ago. The funeral home told the wife that if he died of the Rona, the expenses would be covered, so that’s how it was designated. But since he (supposedly) died with the Rona, the funeral staff wouldn’t prepare the body. They left him in the plastic bag with a small opening so the family could identify him, and set his suit on top of him. His wife was horrified when she saw him. Completely true.
That's horrible and insane. --- So if you have it and die, somehow the virus knows it is what killed you, so job over and it can leave, BUT if you died of (example) cancer and you happened to have the virus also, the virus knows its job isn't done and sticks around and might latch onto a mortician and make them sick? --- My head is spinning with that logic!
Good gods that is disgraceful and unholy. 😡 No matter what the religion or belief system, proper funeral rituals are required, especially the preparation of the body. That was one of the early horrors I heard about that was really upsetting.
Now, that's "the end user." They will have to pay the government back for the privilege of using their own money that the government so kindly gave them to use.
An unintended consequence of this policy change will be a higher percentage of vaccinated people being admitted to the hospital for covid. In my local experience, those that got vaccinated had a worse reaction to Omicron and Delta than those that were unvaxxed.
This will also open the door (even wider) for bad stats on vaxxed v unvaxxed hospital admissions. That vaxxed guy coughing his lungs out: he’s in for an unrelated chest issue. That unvaxxed guy with COPD or diabetes who also happens to test positive at 35 cycles: he’s a Covid patient.
Anyway as you pointed out, obvious they knew what they were doing this entire time. Which is why I think our collective, red-hot anger isn't at being merely ignored but slandered relentlessly for almost two years. Many of us have either lost previously cherished relationships or the relationships are on the rocks due to our ability to correctly assess this situation and not to change said assessment based on sociopolitical expediency and convenience.
They're doing similar rewrites in my country - also with cases. The TV virologists pushing the fear all this time are now turning round and saying that we should all stop looking at cases as they don't reflect the true situation! Just when it looks like vaccines are driving them up.
It's funny but also quite sad. Like a toddler hiding behind a cushion thinking you can't see them.
They have the gall to force or coerce over half the world's population to take an experimental vaccine but when it comes to saying 'we were wrong' their courage is strangely non existent.
How are all of these “leaders” determining their courses of action? Someone must be making the decisions and telling them each what to do. How does that work?
Nah, surely not. That is so far into tin foil hat territory. Things like pot banging outside, all over the world, on Thursday evenings, that completely made a difference to the erstwhile (useful idiot) nursing profession, are organic don’t you know.
Last I saw the incidental covid hospitalizations were more around 40% of all covid hospitalizations, so dropping the total by 75-80% seems quite optimistic.
Also, next will be changing the definition of deaths from with COVID to due to COVID. They have to find a way to get those hospitalizations and death numbers down and then take credit for it, like they will the cases as Omicron has already peaked in cases and heads naturally south. And they'll get away with it too because their willing accomplices in the mainstream media will carry that water for them and as we already know, the majority of the population is too stupid to figure out how they've been and will continue to be manipulated with selective data.
What I want, what I really, really want (😉😋), is for the final death count due to/from the coof to be less than the death count from the vaxx. I will print fliers and hand them out personally to the a$$hats that scream in your face about the supposed hundreds of thousands of deaths of people who were sick. While the deaths of people that had nothing wrong with them except they were dumb enough to take the clot shot are dead or severely injured. That's copacetic.
Sorry. DoD and DMED adjusted reporting (with as many glitches as necessary) has final say of the numbers counting. Those deaths will be reassigned and/or blended into nebulous averages that simply will wash out in the end.
While I've not yet listened to the Sen. Johnson (Jan. 24) hearings, I've read a few articles about the DMED (apparent) cover-up and a few of the Team Vaxx "debunker" articles. It's laughable. I've seen terms like "DoD unforced error" to describe (allegedly) the "glitch" of failing to include huge numbers of incidents for several years prior to the pandemic/vax years, yet 2021's data was without flaw. You see, DoD made an innocent error, somehow failing to enroll millions of medical histories in a database, and now all of a sudden the virulent "ant-vaxxers" who only sow discord and spread "misinformation" have siezed upon the innocent error and are exploiting it. 😏
Wait, you mean, they are doing now what anyone with an IQ over that of a piece of stale bread and slight competence in the field would have said "of course!" to from day 1? Impressive!
It is a puzzling phenomenon, is it not... Highly intelligent peolpe who are hooked up to the matrix so hard, it seems to hurt & make aggressive if you just pull one of them wires a little...
My 80 year old wife had the misfortune of her only child who is a True Believer and her husband come to our apartment when she was feeling sick and use the Chinese test kit to prove she had Covid, and then call the cops and paramedics to abduct her to Kaiser, who promptly confirmed Covid pneumonia and treated her for 3 days with the doctors favorite drug Remdesivir. I was not allowed to visit. After pinging her personal doc and talking to her ER doc I was able to get her home. A friend who is fully vaccinated gave us the ride. No cabs, or ride share allowed for discharge. I refuse any PCR or vax. Now she is better three weeks later, still weak, and daughter and personal doctor urge vaccination. Daughter does daily. This despite John Hopkins study and CDC admission of natural immunity. There will be a feint on Covid and this only temporary.
Awful. I pray dear daughter wakes up. She needs to read the horror stories of those who got vaccinated. And maybe the research Alex Berenson just posted on his Substack about the vaccine post infection. https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/more-news-about-long-term-covid-vaccine Hope your wife's strength returns soon.
She cannot. True Believers as Eric Hoffer wrote about in 1951 are trapped. Mass movements demand a "total surrender of a distinct self".[9] One identifies the most as “a member of a certain tribe or family," whether religious, political, revolutionary, or nationalist.[10] Every important part of the true believer's persona and life must ultimately come from their identification with the larger community; even when alone, the true believer must never feel isolated and unwatched. Hoffer identifies this communal sensibility as the reappearance of a "primitive state of being" common among pre-modern cultures.[11] Mass movements also use play-acting and spectacle designed to make the individual feel overwhelmed and awed by their membership in the tribe, as with the massive ceremonial parades and speeches of the Nazis.
Fear. Insecurity. Conforming to the propaganda which makes them ritually mask, refuse to touch, social distance, and vaccinate. Vaccination is a kind of baptism in a perverse way. The vaccinated believe they are saved.
As you suggest in the article... in reality there should not be such thing as someone who "go to the hospital for other reasons and later test positive", because if they went to the hospital for other reason there is absolutely no reason why they should be tested for SARS-CoV-2. They INVENTED that peactice with COVID - testing everyone for the virus regardless of the reason they went to the hospital. We test people for influenza only if they come with "Influenza Like Illness"; we test for Dengue if it looks like dengue..Dengue... ect.
Politically, they created fear in the general population using pseudo-science. It will be interesting to see how far they can walk this fear back to create a more "normal" society like we had before 2020. I honestly don't think some people will ever recover from the fear they've generated.
By the way, if you want to see the corner the Democrats have painted themselves into, read the comments on that Twitter post. Assuming these are real people, they are completely terrified at the prospect of lifting covid rules. They have no idea whatsoever that millions of people have been living without covid rules for months and months, yet the virus is still receding.
I was able to read some of the Twitter comments even though I don't have my acct any more. All I can say is wow, just wow. It certainly does reinforce our statements! Coming out of this is going to be like ripping a bandaid off a sore for these folks..
we're gonna be dead last amigo. i have met pedro and he's a spineless gravy train grifter seeking to further political ambition and coddle cronies who are printing it on this. the core constituency of the PNP are terrified abuelas who love having society closed.
I can't get two steps into a store before some employee/jackboot cries out for me to put a mask on. Walgreens, Pueblo, Petco today.
The other day, at a UPS Store, I just wanted to drop off a preaddressed package. Didn't need service or anything, just dropping and leaving. The guy through the window and 30 feet away motioned to me like an airplane was landing on the wrong runway. I communicated that I was just dropping off.
He buzzed me in, and then in the most panicky manner he motioned for me to PUT THE PACKAGE THERE...THERE! which was the counter near the entrance and a country mile away from him.
The FEAR and ignorance of seemingly everyone here is just astonishing. It has to be unparalleled, even compared to CA or NYC.
It’s not. I got ripped on by a terrified Portland Karen, from over 20 feet away in an airport she kept sniping at me to ‘put on my mask’ because ‘it’s the law!’ I’d bet money she’s a former elementary Ed teacher who was never taught the difference between a mandate and a law, but then again, the state of Oregon isn’t known for their education
Leading the “blue” wave. Bus still full. From the Gov right on down to all the Karens. Gonna be state law soon I’m sure to sanitize toilet seats before each use........in your own home. Got to prevent the next upcoming variant......Oreg-cron!!
In fairness to the Walgreens, it just occurred to me that I got into the store maskless and remained that way for about 5-10 minutes, even after 2 or 3 employees walked past me, one of whom actually said "buenos dias" in a polite, friendly manner.
So that's worth mentioning, if only because it's an exception that proves the rule virtually everywhere else that jumps on you before your second foot hits the floor.
Surprised, as a Walgreens they didn’t run and get you one of the 400 million free N-95’s uncle Joe is giving away to clear out excess pandemic inventories.......as the government suddenly doesn’t need them any longer.
Not to ramp up your pain but I took a friend for an MRI today at a small, local hospital. No more masks required! I did a happy dance through the door.
My dentist’s office hasn’t required masks for a very long time. But the doctors’ offices I’ve taken my (blind) friend to has all had them. So this was a surprise.
My dentist never required masks. I had an appointment in May 2020. It was the only place that felt normal. I absolutely love them. Never thought that my dental visits would be something I look forward to doing!
What?!? Don't you know it's been scientifically determined that the virus dies after travelling six feet from a living person (or the European variant slightly longer: two meters)? 🤣
To a degree, I wish that I actually lived somewhere where I would actually risk arrest for not wearing a mask. I would happy tell the judge: "I will not plead guilty. But if you can look at me with a straight face and convict me for not wearing a mask in a store, I will wear the convction like a badge of honor." Or some such eloquent bullshit. And I'd have much time to ponder upon my words, after paying $500 and doing 90 days of commuity service, or whatever. But I still think it'd be worth it.
In Blue states, where therapy for the mass delusional psychosis is most needed, therapists are often only offering zoom “therapy” from the safety of their bedrooms. It’s not a recipe for success.
Hopefully it was waterproof wrapped. Cuz you can bet it was well sprayed down and thoroughly sanitized before the UPS truck picked it up and drove away with it.
Toss up between Inslee of WA and Brown of OR. Hochul is a political nonentity currently enjoying her 15 minutes and will fold when Newsome does, and Newsome is already showing signs. Whereas Inslee is a moron but also a True Believer, and Brown is that first grade teacher who Will Be Obeyed.
Unfortunately, headassectomies are not covered by any known health insurance or hospital systems. But Dr. Nick will probably perform the surgery for cash under the table.
The problem is, the past two years have awakened a large group of smart folks who have been paying attention to the every move of the charlatans, and collecting evidence. Screenshots, bookmarked tweets, etc. In the past most of us couldn't be bothered to spend time hounding the govt's every move because hell we knew they were corrupt and stupid, but they were also fairly impotent. Then came emergency powers protected by state media propaganda. They are not used to scrutiny by folks with a brain but they woke us up, and we are F-ing pissed. Major blunder. Going to backfire louder than an old Landy with a bad carb.
I expect so, but a bona fide infection with stable respiratory A leaves a person immune to A, and all variants of A.
Note that it is claimed there are scores of respiratory viruses which cause overlapping symptoms, none of which are unique to this alleged virus. That fact plus awful diagnostic testing of course leaves non experts sincerely believing they’ve been made clinically unwell by the same virus twice, which isn’t true.
My doc, a VA doc and apparently really good guy, told me the PCR test was “the gold standard”.
With corrupted data, corrupted policy, and corrupted intent in the medical/pharmaceutical/administrative sector, yeah—it will take a while to dig out from under the steaming heaps of horse shit the globalist monsters have dumped on us.
And in the meantime, the wheels continue to come off and our social fabric, already mere cheesecloth, continues to fray.
Many of us outlined exactly how they would wind it down, and (spoiler alert!) this is it. Isn't it weird that we were somehow able to piece all this together over a year ago but it took the 'experts' until now?
But. . .but. . . The CDC officially ditched the wildly unreliable "emergency use" PCR test at the end of December. So why is it still being used in hospitals - or anywhere else?
And another cocoon of "misinformation" drops it's shell and becomes a beautiful butterfly for the truth.. Waiting to see what becomes of the "false flag" false flag.
With the recent Sen. Johnson DMED (database "glitch" scandal), that was one surprise. The DoD medical system had lower figures because they were not eligible for Covid-19 "bonus" money so there was no incentive to "find" cases. Alas, the database has been "fixed," presumably. Don't want to make those vaccines, or those in power who authorized them, look bad. So much for any scientific value to a database that was set up precisely to track and identify new illness trends (epidemiology). Score: Politics 1, science 0. For Team Reality, it is a win of sorts: this is yet another instance of Team Swamp lying and everybody know's they're lying.
Whatever, let's take it. Whither the US goes, a lot of the rest of the world will follow.
But after that...
"every last politician who pushed this should lose office. all of them." Just as important are the captured public health officials who were "advising" those politicians. They are equally culpable.
And the multitude of healthcare providers who went completely against their oath to 1st do no harm, who said take the jab. ESPECIALLY obstetricians & pediatricians
Great point. The elected come and go but the entrenched stay for decades. See the endless wanting us to go to war. It's all the same people through all administrations.
Oh no, they should not be allowed to walk away. They should be arrested, indicted, tried, and if found guilty, given a chance to make Confession, and then summarily executed. Their goods and monies should be seized and liquidated, with the proceeds going to make some token restitution for all harmed by their evil actions. Governments are instituted for many reasons, but one of the foremost is the pursuit and application of justice. If the government we have is incapable of that, we are long overdue on establishing a new one.
I have to say, el gato, that I like your anti-tyranny posts as much as I like your covid data posts. Excellent job. Keeps me less insane, which is hard to do.
This is likely because of the midterm route they're about to face. The sad part is they'll change the counting methodology and say they're solving the problem...the media will go along with ita dnt jam it down our throats, and a higher number of people than should be the case, will actually believe them.
"this is a massive capitulation. it’s the outright admission that the metrics and measures they have used all along have been fraud ...". While I know this is true, my guess is this will fly right past the 'not so smart kids in class'. I'm sure there will be inference that everything changed with Omicron. And how long will it take until people start asking "hey...... how do they calculate deaths? or even cases?"
The case counts, in addition to inflating fear, were all about money. The CARES Act, that reprehensible garbage passed by Trump because he went brain dead, incentivized each and every positive test by paying out gobs of money. In Kentucky for instance, each positive "case" yielded a cool $297,000. This was another documented but not mainstream fact from 2020 and propelled the perverse incentives to push the the whole system off the rails.
It was Congress who passed the CARES Act, like all bills...not Trump. It was futile to use veto power because Congress had the votes to override a veto. Put blame where it properly belongs.
Surely. Just making the point though that Trump wanted to seem like the good guy by sending people money and throwing the long pass on Warp Speed and otherwise ducked out entirely and failed to lead. I voted for him twice, but I won't do it again.
I agree; I voted for Trump twice too but his post-presidency continuing to brag about the “vaccines”, how they saved “millions” of lives when they’re actually killing thousands & continuing to exhort those of us smart enough not to have gotten it because we knew better was the end for me.
I also think that eventually, the “smart set” elites will turn all blame for “vaccine” damage & death on him as scapegoat for their own sins, as having warp speeded them & waiving standard, long term protocols
I would prefer that they also include the true and real vaccination status in hospitalization reports. The vaccination question should simply be answered as yes or no. Until they drop all of the hokus pokus of not counting someone as vaccinated unless they are 14 days post 1st fax, post 2nd fax, post booster etc… they are just continuing their deception.
Would be a step in the right direction. But still not precise enough. Ideally, for any admitted patient, one would have the product(s) used, the dates each dose was administered. That would allow a better correlation with health issues. There are probably many methodological impediments to such a database, but they pale in comparison to the many obvious reasons They would not want such surveillance of vaccine side effects. One of the saddest things about the whole Covid-19 shitshow is the apalling state of reputable medical science. It's been ailing for decades (no help from Dr. Fauci since he started building his little empire in the 1980s, although clearly there are many other nefarious players in this drama). True [medical] science may not be dead, but it's lying shot and stabbed and bleeding badly in some back alley.
“can they seriously think that anyone will be deceived by this volte face? that what, the science changed? new info came to light?”
Um, yes they can because people are sheep and desperate for an end. They’ll believe anything. And not only that, they’ll claim it was their policies that got us here. And people will easily believe that too.
You forget that you know too much at this point that this move seems ludicrous. But most people still have their heads in the sand.
I so wish I could hope that this would be seen for what it is and that the foul chickens would come home to roost. But I suspect that all those who have swallowed the government BS propaganda for two years will continue to swallow it hook, line and sinker. It’s a presuppositional issue. Far too many people naively and deeply believe that government has the best interest of it’s citizens at heart, knows what it is doing and would never lie to them in order to serve some ulterior objective. That is their foundational, starting presupposition. And consequently they will continue to drink whatever flavor kool aid is served to them by their government.
That, &/or unable to face the fact that they were lied to in a heinous way or that their government could do something to them / their own citizenry. Or humiliation for having been fooled into the jab, something many can never admit, esp to those of us who resisted the intimidation & coercion
They need to stop paying more for a patient with Covid vs. one without Covid. That will definitely drop the number of deaths put at the feet of Covid. The gov't needs to stop making it pay for a patient to have Covid or this is just never going to stop.
“it’s the outright admission that the metrics and measures they have used all along have been fraud or so close to fraud that you would not want to live off the difference.” Impeccable line.
Does this mean that the gravy train of "no questions asked and we'll pay you a bonus" for the hospitals is also being updated? That would be the most accurate metric on how this diagnosis definition change is being implemented.
Would be interesting to see if they have written new "coding/reimbursement" guidelines to reflect this diagnosis change.
I mean... FFS this was how they increased % of different departments and industries vaccination rates. You shitcan 20% unvaxx'd from a work force then the % of vaxx'd will increase almost magically.
Does "cooking the books" apply to this? It seems applicable.
to biden and all his ignorant cronies and ass kissers-please, while you are talking to the fluffy feline butt, I hope the kitty's anal glands find it the absolute appropriate moment to express themselves all over your faces-booyah!
Gato – you are one of my heroes – I have been following you since August 2021 (Marek’s disease post caught me) – paid sub – sadly I am responsible for some of the horrible traffic jams on this substack – I push everyone I know here. I have been compiling an historical outline regarding COVID for my friends who have not been keeping up with our government’s mistakes and manipulations. Two items I would love for you to further develop are 1) the development of Rivusiron and Patisiron and 2) the statistics of Ethiopia (and Kenya) are unbelievable. I discuss these at (https://analyticalt.substack.com). I know you could use these to knock it out of the park! Your lowly servant – ready to serve more!
I know many people for whom this will work just fine. They will just remove the current thumb drive from their arse and insert the one with the new narrative.
Yes. They're the same people who, once they got COVID after being 'vaccinated' (and boosted), acted liked of COURSE they got COVID. That was always the plan. The vaccine was always just supposed to prevent them from dying or something. Yup. They'll buy this hook, line and sinker.
Yes, the software update is typically seamless with most NPCs.
Occasionally there are system incompatibilities that lead to overload when the new software is introduced. Those are the people we need to get to.
Self driving cars, I mean sheeple, regardless of the software update, will continue to crash. Getting to that group pre-airbag deployment will be the challenge.
i can hear the screeches of a zx spectrum already
The Sinclair? I never saw one, but if an (early) personal computer got any flimsier, they could have added it as an insert in a computer magazine. 😁
I still have a ZX Spectrum!
It's believed that Ferguson uses an old Atari for his magical predictions. Nothing wrong with an Atari but when you put rubbish in you get garbage out.
SPAM? Nooooooooooo....
Ignore it. This trash trolls a lot of the Substacks I read.
5 minutes on Twitter and there’s a whole thread of these types of mindless dopers. It’s astonishing to watch the Branch Covidians.
Came to write the same thing.
Most people are imbeciles that can flip what they 'know' by the time Walensky or Fauci have finished telling them what they must henceforth *believe*.
The average respondent to surveys, believes that between 5 and 9% of their respective national populations, has died as a result of Fauci's bioweapon. The real number - as anyone with half a brain knows - is <0.2% (including both 'of' and 'with').

Women in these polls routinely give guesses 3x the size of men.
All these people get to vote.
One thing this whole mess has taught me is that there are far more stupid people than I ever imagined.
Me too. I knew it was bad but not this widespread. I’m trying to get the forms to apply for a divorce from the Human race.
You're still fucked. You'll have to pay alimony and child support. Worse: they have visitation rights! 😅
By mine own calculations (and independly by some others, who arrive at similar numbers) I would say you are just a tiny bit under. My "go-to" figure is 0.16% of population per year. So by now, double that to 0.32%. That is the old "with-covid" numbers. So divide by roughly 20 to get the "only from Covid" figures.
It's worth mentioning, although probably I preach to the choir here, that in "rich" nations about 0.9% of the population dies in a normal year. So 0.16% isn't really much to panic about. In fairness, yes more people have been dying since 2019 and some of that is lkely due to the virus.
Yep, already have friends justifying everything and I'm still the village idiot who's gonna get the ro and die and I kinda deserve it. "The science has changed!" "Variants!" Etc. Bleh. Meh. Eh. Blah.
Don't let these frs off the hook easy. Mock them daily. Keep it in their face daily....never stop
😂😂perfect!
The sad part is that some kool aid drinkers will actually say that the Admin was successful in reducing covid hospitalizations.
I'm about to go adjust my scale. Easiest 20 pounds I will ever lose.
LOL, was that weight gain "with" a hamburger, or "from" a hamburger diet?
Hamburgers are SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.
It's the bun, fries, shake, sundae, and 32oz Coke that are the 'key co-morbidities'.
I thought that I had lost 20 pounds but I just realized that my measurements for the past 5 years were off.
You was measuring your weight ‘with’ the food in the shopping bags you had just bought, not ‘from’ the food you had eaten?
Amen!
Or that it was all a necessary subterfuge to make the masses compliant.
Don't forget to use conversion between metric/imperial to further your gain (or loss rather).
You can get a lot of "correct" results that way, especially if you switch back and forth between different systems of rounding; 0.5 can become either 1 or 0 as needed.
To be consistent, you round to the even. 0.5 would be 0, as 1 is an odd #. 1.5 would be 2, an even #.
What about the payments to the hospitals for COVID diagnosis? Do those get returned?
You mean you want your taxpayer money returned? How dare you!
And what about the funeral assistance for "Covid" burials provided by FEMA?
https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_english-funeral-assistance-flyer.pdf
A friend lost her uncle a few weeks ago. The funeral home told the wife that if he died of the Rona, the expenses would be covered, so that’s how it was designated. But since he (supposedly) died with the Rona, the funeral staff wouldn’t prepare the body. They left him in the plastic bag with a small opening so the family could identify him, and set his suit on top of him. His wife was horrified when she saw him. Completely true.
That's horrible and insane. --- So if you have it and die, somehow the virus knows it is what killed you, so job over and it can leave, BUT if you died of (example) cancer and you happened to have the virus also, the virus knows its job isn't done and sticks around and might latch onto a mortician and make them sick? --- My head is spinning with that logic!
It is insane…and utterly cruel.
Good gods that is disgraceful and unholy. 😡 No matter what the religion or belief system, proper funeral rituals are required, especially the preparation of the body. That was one of the early horrors I heard about that was really upsetting.
OMG, how horrible.
Now, that's "the end user." They will have to pay the government back for the privilege of using their own money that the government so kindly gave them to use.
It will be lumped in with your refund check for college expenses that you paid when others get their loans written off.
Oh, and, will they also recount those murdered by Remdesivir?
As covid deaths, yes. Just the same as they registered those killed by AZT as AIDS deaths. Thanks, Dr. Fauci!
Covid hospitalization counts "reimagined" for the midterms. The cynic in me wants to know if they'll win "with" or "from" mail-in voting.
you win first prize for the most "relevant" question today!!
Haha, that is the same joke I have been using for a while. Love it!!
An unintended consequence of this policy change will be a higher percentage of vaccinated people being admitted to the hospital for covid. In my local experience, those that got vaccinated had a worse reaction to Omicron and Delta than those that were unvaxxed.
This will also open the door (even wider) for bad stats on vaxxed v unvaxxed hospital admissions. That vaxxed guy coughing his lungs out: he’s in for an unrelated chest issue. That unvaxxed guy with COPD or diabetes who also happens to test positive at 35 cycles: he’s a Covid patient.
Fired --> jailed --> executed. Order may vary.
Anyway as you pointed out, obvious they knew what they were doing this entire time. Which is why I think our collective, red-hot anger isn't at being merely ignored but slandered relentlessly for almost two years. Many of us have either lost previously cherished relationships or the relationships are on the rocks due to our ability to correctly assess this situation and not to change said assessment based on sociopolitical expediency and convenience.
If only we had just been merely ignored.
Give it time. Your wish will come true.
The Dems are the party of authoritarian science-deniers.
And election cheaters.
Which cheaters?
Imagine if this last two years were run by the repubs? Same shit but a different set of cronies would have profiteered.
Uh... pretty sure 2020 was "run by the repubs". Same cronies, same "experts". Uniparty!
They're doing similar rewrites in my country - also with cases. The TV virologists pushing the fear all this time are now turning round and saying that we should all stop looking at cases as they don't reflect the true situation! Just when it looks like vaccines are driving them up.
It's funny but also quite sad. Like a toddler hiding behind a cushion thinking you can't see them.
They have the gall to force or coerce over half the world's population to take an experimental vaccine but when it comes to saying 'we were wrong' their courage is strangely non existent.
How are all of these “leaders” determining their courses of action? Someone must be making the decisions and telling them each what to do. How does that work?
Klaus Schwab?
Santa klaus?
Nah, surely not. That is so far into tin foil hat territory. Things like pot banging outside, all over the world, on Thursday evenings, that completely made a difference to the erstwhile (useful idiot) nursing profession, are organic don’t you know.
LOL
Toddler hiding behind a cushion! Love it. That is such a great visual for their pathetic game play.
Peek-a-boo politics.
This guy speaks about Trudeau, and others, being controlled by the WEF: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10159493668135743&id=641755742&m_entstream_source=timeline
Last I saw the incidental covid hospitalizations were more around 40% of all covid hospitalizations, so dropping the total by 75-80% seems quite optimistic.
Also, next will be changing the definition of deaths from with COVID to due to COVID. They have to find a way to get those hospitalizations and death numbers down and then take credit for it, like they will the cases as Omicron has already peaked in cases and heads naturally south. And they'll get away with it too because their willing accomplices in the mainstream media will carry that water for them and as we already know, the majority of the population is too stupid to figure out how they've been and will continue to be manipulated with selective data.
Exactly! Even Leana Wen is sounding (almost) like team reality these days:
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/the-change-in-the-wind-is-obvious
Edit: The 75-80% drop he was talking about would be in deaths, by no longer counting 'incidental' deaths.
What I want, what I really, really want (😉😋), is for the final death count due to/from the coof to be less than the death count from the vaxx. I will print fliers and hand them out personally to the a$$hats that scream in your face about the supposed hundreds of thousands of deaths of people who were sick. While the deaths of people that had nothing wrong with them except they were dumb enough to take the clot shot are dead or severely injured. That's copacetic.
And....now I have that danged song stuck in my head! 😂
Well, obviously, you're not alone. It's in mine, too. 😁
Sorry. DoD and DMED adjusted reporting (with as many glitches as necessary) has final say of the numbers counting. Those deaths will be reassigned and/or blended into nebulous averages that simply will wash out in the end.
While I've not yet listened to the Sen. Johnson (Jan. 24) hearings, I've read a few articles about the DMED (apparent) cover-up and a few of the Team Vaxx "debunker" articles. It's laughable. I've seen terms like "DoD unforced error" to describe (allegedly) the "glitch" of failing to include huge numbers of incidents for several years prior to the pandemic/vax years, yet 2021's data was without flaw. You see, DoD made an innocent error, somehow failing to enroll millions of medical histories in a database, and now all of a sudden the virulent "ant-vaxxers" who only sow discord and spread "misinformation" have siezed upon the innocent error and are exploiting it. 😏
Ah, well then that may actually be pessimistic. May be closer to 90% reduction in deaths if they only count due to covid.
Leana Wen is a medical circus clown. She's not joining team reality, she's trying to preserve team insanity for another day.
Easy to do....... just deny the Covid patients respirators and remdesivir. Poof!! Magic!! Deaths from Covid immediately drops 40 to 90%.
Wait, you mean, they are doing now what anyone with an IQ over that of a piece of stale bread and slight competence in the field would have said "of course!" to from day 1? Impressive!
It’s a question of common sense, not IQ. I’ve met many MENSA idiots.
It is a puzzling phenomenon, is it not... Highly intelligent peolpe who are hooked up to the matrix so hard, it seems to hurt & make aggressive if you just pull one of them wires a little...
My 80 year old wife had the misfortune of her only child who is a True Believer and her husband come to our apartment when she was feeling sick and use the Chinese test kit to prove she had Covid, and then call the cops and paramedics to abduct her to Kaiser, who promptly confirmed Covid pneumonia and treated her for 3 days with the doctors favorite drug Remdesivir. I was not allowed to visit. After pinging her personal doc and talking to her ER doc I was able to get her home. A friend who is fully vaccinated gave us the ride. No cabs, or ride share allowed for discharge. I refuse any PCR or vax. Now she is better three weeks later, still weak, and daughter and personal doctor urge vaccination. Daughter does daily. This despite John Hopkins study and CDC admission of natural immunity. There will be a feint on Covid and this only temporary.
I am so sorry. Your wife is a fortunate woman to have you to fight to get her out of the hospital and off the Remdesivir.
Ah her daughter withdraws affection and cuts her off from ADULT living at home going to college grand daughter so La Lucha Continua.
God help you and your wife. I am so sorry this happened to you. I will pray for her recovery.
Awful. I pray dear daughter wakes up. She needs to read the horror stories of those who got vaccinated. And maybe the research Alex Berenson just posted on his Substack about the vaccine post infection. https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/more-news-about-long-term-covid-vaccine Hope your wife's strength returns soon.
She cannot. True Believers as Eric Hoffer wrote about in 1951 are trapped. Mass movements demand a "total surrender of a distinct self".[9] One identifies the most as “a member of a certain tribe or family," whether religious, political, revolutionary, or nationalist.[10] Every important part of the true believer's persona and life must ultimately come from their identification with the larger community; even when alone, the true believer must never feel isolated and unwatched. Hoffer identifies this communal sensibility as the reappearance of a "primitive state of being" common among pre-modern cultures.[11] Mass movements also use play-acting and spectacle designed to make the individual feel overwhelmed and awed by their membership in the tribe, as with the massive ceremonial parades and speeches of the Nazis.
The Nazis had ceremonials that still look very impressive on film. What do these covidiots have?
Fear. Insecurity. Conforming to the propaganda which makes them ritually mask, refuse to touch, social distance, and vaccinate. Vaccination is a kind of baptism in a perverse way. The vaccinated believe they are saved.
As you suggest in the article... in reality there should not be such thing as someone who "go to the hospital for other reasons and later test positive", because if they went to the hospital for other reason there is absolutely no reason why they should be tested for SARS-CoV-2. They INVENTED that peactice with COVID - testing everyone for the virus regardless of the reason they went to the hospital. We test people for influenza only if they come with "Influenza Like Illness"; we test for Dengue if it looks like dengue..Dengue... ect.
But the hospital is a great place to catch covid if you didn’t bring any with you
My 2yo grandchild went in just a few weeks ago with an infection. She was tested for the ro and her parents were told she had it. Ridiculous.
But without the test, the hospital doesn't receive the bonus payments.
Thanks gato. This came at the perfect time. We need hope right now. And this is good.
Politically, they created fear in the general population using pseudo-science. It will be interesting to see how far they can walk this fear back to create a more "normal" society like we had before 2020. I honestly don't think some people will ever recover from the fear they've generated.
Exactly the problem they have now. Check out the comments on the tweet:
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/the-change-in-the-wind-is-obvious
By the way, if you want to see the corner the Democrats have painted themselves into, read the comments on that Twitter post. Assuming these are real people, they are completely terrified at the prospect of lifting covid rules. They have no idea whatsoever that millions of people have been living without covid rules for months and months, yet the virus is still receding.
I was able to read some of the Twitter comments even though I don't have my acct any more. All I can say is wow, just wow. It certainly does reinforce our statements! Coming out of this is going to be like ripping a bandaid off a sore for these folks..
We who do not belong to Twitter can no longer read threads. Comply or die!
Wow really? Even though I'm banned I can still read threads.
So, when does the idiot governor of Puerto Rico begin to remove HIS head from HIS ass?
we're gonna be dead last amigo. i have met pedro and he's a spineless gravy train grifter seeking to further political ambition and coddle cronies who are printing it on this. the core constituency of the PNP are terrified abuelas who love having society closed.
I can't get two steps into a store before some employee/jackboot cries out for me to put a mask on. Walgreens, Pueblo, Petco today.
The other day, at a UPS Store, I just wanted to drop off a preaddressed package. Didn't need service or anything, just dropping and leaving. The guy through the window and 30 feet away motioned to me like an airplane was landing on the wrong runway. I communicated that I was just dropping off.
He buzzed me in, and then in the most panicky manner he motioned for me to PUT THE PACKAGE THERE...THERE! which was the counter near the entrance and a country mile away from him.
The FEAR and ignorance of seemingly everyone here is just astonishing. It has to be unparalleled, even compared to CA or NYC.
It’s not. I got ripped on by a terrified Portland Karen, from over 20 feet away in an airport she kept sniping at me to ‘put on my mask’ because ‘it’s the law!’ I’d bet money she’s a former elementary Ed teacher who was never taught the difference between a mandate and a law, but then again, the state of Oregon isn’t known for their education
Yeah, a pox upon me. I forgot about Oregon and what's going on there.
Leading the “blue” wave. Bus still full. From the Gov right on down to all the Karens. Gonna be state law soon I’m sure to sanitize toilet seats before each use........in your own home. Got to prevent the next upcoming variant......Oreg-cron!!
That wave's crashing. https://www.opb.org/article/2022/02/07/oregon-mask-mandate-indoors-health-authority-covid-19-cases-omicron-variant/
In fairness to the Walgreens, it just occurred to me that I got into the store maskless and remained that way for about 5-10 minutes, even after 2 or 3 employees walked past me, one of whom actually said "buenos dias" in a polite, friendly manner.
So that's worth mentioning, if only because it's an exception that proves the rule virtually everywhere else that jumps on you before your second foot hits the floor.
Surprised, as a Walgreens they didn’t run and get you one of the 400 million free N-95’s uncle Joe is giving away to clear out excess pandemic inventories.......as the government suddenly doesn’t need them any longer.
Not to ramp up your pain but I took a friend for an MRI today at a small, local hospital. No more masks required! I did a happy dance through the door.
I only visit my doctor once a year for a physical. He did not require a mask pre-vaccine nor post vaccine. Said they don’t work for a virus.
Excellent!
Where?
LOL, wait - you're not in Puerto Rico, right?
No. The free state of Tennessee 😻
My dentist’s office hasn’t required masks for a very long time. But the doctors’ offices I’ve taken my (blind) friend to has all had them. So this was a surprise.
My dentist never required masks. I had an appointment in May 2020. It was the only place that felt normal. I absolutely love them. Never thought that my dental visits would be something I look forward to doing!
It is beyond ludicrous. You’re in there with your mouth open and that’s ok. This really has broken brains.
Every 6 feet apart? All facing the wall like the elevator you rode up to get there?
What?!? Don't you know it's been scientifically determined that the virus dies after travelling six feet from a living person (or the European variant slightly longer: two meters)? 🤣
To a degree, I wish that I actually lived somewhere where I would actually risk arrest for not wearing a mask. I would happy tell the judge: "I will not plead guilty. But if you can look at me with a straight face and convict me for not wearing a mask in a store, I will wear the convction like a badge of honor." Or some such eloquent bullshit. And I'd have much time to ponder upon my words, after paying $500 and doing 90 days of commuity service, or whatever. But I still think it'd be worth it.
I'm afraid you are living in Jonestown. Honestly, at this point that level of adherence to the insanity is straight up a doomsday cult.
These people need therapy.
In Blue states, where therapy for the mass delusional psychosis is most needed, therapists are often only offering zoom “therapy” from the safety of their bedrooms. It’s not a recipe for success.
Hopefully it was waterproof wrapped. Cuz you can bet it was well sprayed down and thoroughly sanitized before the UPS truck picked it up and drove away with it.
A hundred bucks says Inslee in Washington will be last.
So who drops out last? Brown from OR or NY’s Houchel? Toss up?
Toss up between Inslee of WA and Brown of OR. Hochul is a political nonentity currently enjoying her 15 minutes and will fold when Newsome does, and Newsome is already showing signs. Whereas Inslee is a moron but also a True Believer, and Brown is that first grade teacher who Will Be Obeyed.
Unfortunately, headassectomies are not covered by any known health insurance or hospital systems. But Dr. Nick will probably perform the surgery for cash under the table.
Cranial-rectamyisis is way up in the last two years........especially in blue states.
That's the REAL pandemic.
The problem is, the past two years have awakened a large group of smart folks who have been paying attention to the every move of the charlatans, and collecting evidence. Screenshots, bookmarked tweets, etc. In the past most of us couldn't be bothered to spend time hounding the govt's every move because hell we knew they were corrupt and stupid, but they were also fairly impotent. Then came emergency powers protected by state media propaganda. They are not used to scrutiny by folks with a brain but they woke us up, and we are F-ing pissed. Major blunder. Going to backfire louder than an old Landy with a bad carb.
Upvote for “backfire louder than an old Landy with a bad carb.”
Do remember that the tests used for diagnosis aren’t worth anything.
Nobody ever set them up correctly & in my opinion that was deliberate.
The intention was to maximise the number of “cases” & “covid deaths”.
With a poor enough test, it’s not even necessary to invoke a new virus at all.
Do you think there are people who think they have gotten a re-infection when they’ve had a false positive the first go around?
I expect so, but a bona fide infection with stable respiratory A leaves a person immune to A, and all variants of A.
Note that it is claimed there are scores of respiratory viruses which cause overlapping symptoms, none of which are unique to this alleged virus. That fact plus awful diagnostic testing of course leaves non experts sincerely believing they’ve been made clinically unwell by the same virus twice, which isn’t true.
Thank you. I have wondered about that.
My doc, a VA doc and apparently really good guy, told me the PCR test was “the gold standard”.
With corrupted data, corrupted policy, and corrupted intent in the medical/pharmaceutical/administrative sector, yeah—it will take a while to dig out from under the steaming heaps of horse shit the globalist monsters have dumped on us.
And in the meantime, the wheels continue to come off and our social fabric, already mere cheesecloth, continues to fray.
Will we ever trust our doctors again?
Only very cautiously.
Many of us outlined exactly how they would wind it down, and (spoiler alert!) this is it. Isn't it weird that we were somehow able to piece all this together over a year ago but it took the 'experts' until now?
Just in time for the State of the Union!
My shocked face is shocked! 😐
But. . .but. . . The CDC officially ditched the wildly unreliable "emergency use" PCR test at the end of December. So why is it still being used in hospitals - or anywhere else?
Quite agree. It was used to validate the vaccines too.
It was to be replaced w/ a multiplex assay that also tests for the two Influenza strains.
Yes, I read that, too. So what happened?
And another cocoon of "misinformation" drops it's shell and becomes a beautiful butterfly for the truth.. Waiting to see what becomes of the "false flag" false flag.
Until the hospitals no longer get paid for positive PCR tests, they won’t comply. High Covid numbers bring $$$$$$
With the recent Sen. Johnson DMED (database "glitch" scandal), that was one surprise. The DoD medical system had lower figures because they were not eligible for Covid-19 "bonus" money so there was no incentive to "find" cases. Alas, the database has been "fixed," presumably. Don't want to make those vaccines, or those in power who authorized them, look bad. So much for any scientific value to a database that was set up precisely to track and identify new illness trends (epidemiology). Score: Politics 1, science 0. For Team Reality, it is a win of sorts: this is yet another instance of Team Swamp lying and everybody know's they're lying.
Whatever, let's take it. Whither the US goes, a lot of the rest of the world will follow.
But after that...
"every last politician who pushed this should lose office. all of them." Just as important are the captured public health officials who were "advising" those politicians. They are equally culpable.
And the multitude of healthcare providers who went completely against their oath to 1st do no harm, who said take the jab. ESPECIALLY obstetricians & pediatricians
Equally, yes. Possibly more so.
Great point. The elected come and go but the entrenched stay for decades. See the endless wanting us to go to war. It's all the same people through all administrations.
But cat butts are their most prized part—they don’t deserve that honor! 😸
Oh no, they should not be allowed to walk away. They should be arrested, indicted, tried, and if found guilty, given a chance to make Confession, and then summarily executed. Their goods and monies should be seized and liquidated, with the proceeds going to make some token restitution for all harmed by their evil actions. Governments are instituted for many reasons, but one of the foremost is the pursuit and application of justice. If the government we have is incapable of that, we are long overdue on establishing a new one.
Here's a start: https://grand-jury.net
I have to say, el gato, that I like your anti-tyranny posts as much as I like your covid data posts. Excellent job. Keeps me less insane, which is hard to do.
"Weapons grade goalpost moving"...that's gold el gatto malo...GOLD!
Haha! That was my favorite line too! Perfection!
The heat generated by their spinning is going to cause more global warming!!!
Oh Rose that is good!!!! 😂
This is likely because of the midterm route they're about to face. The sad part is they'll change the counting methodology and say they're solving the problem...the media will go along with ita dnt jam it down our throats, and a higher number of people than should be the case, will actually believe them.
Luckily we have the receipts saying this is exactly what they would do, proving that it's all about politics.
So then this is it?? No more state of emergency, EUA vax, etc? And we will get an apology for the past 2 years??!
"this is a massive capitulation. it’s the outright admission that the metrics and measures they have used all along have been fraud ...". While I know this is true, my guess is this will fly right past the 'not so smart kids in class'. I'm sure there will be inference that everything changed with Omicron. And how long will it take until people start asking "hey...... how do they calculate deaths? or even cases?"
The case counts, in addition to inflating fear, were all about money. The CARES Act, that reprehensible garbage passed by Trump because he went brain dead, incentivized each and every positive test by paying out gobs of money. In Kentucky for instance, each positive "case" yielded a cool $297,000. This was another documented but not mainstream fact from 2020 and propelled the perverse incentives to push the the whole system off the rails.
Source:
https://khn.org/news/furor-erupts-billions-going-to-hospitals-based-on-medicare-billings-not-covid-19/
It was Congress who passed the CARES Act, like all bills...not Trump. It was futile to use veto power because Congress had the votes to override a veto. Put blame where it properly belongs.
Surely. Just making the point though that Trump wanted to seem like the good guy by sending people money and throwing the long pass on Warp Speed and otherwise ducked out entirely and failed to lead. I voted for him twice, but I won't do it again.
I agree; I voted for Trump twice too but his post-presidency continuing to brag about the “vaccines”, how they saved “millions” of lives when they’re actually killing thousands & continuing to exhort those of us smart enough not to have gotten it because we knew better was the end for me.
I also think that eventually, the “smart set” elites will turn all blame for “vaccine” damage & death on him as scapegoat for their own sins, as having warp speeded them & waiving standard, long term protocols
I would prefer that they also include the true and real vaccination status in hospitalization reports. The vaccination question should simply be answered as yes or no. Until they drop all of the hokus pokus of not counting someone as vaccinated unless they are 14 days post 1st fax, post 2nd fax, post booster etc… they are just continuing their deception.
Would be a step in the right direction. But still not precise enough. Ideally, for any admitted patient, one would have the product(s) used, the dates each dose was administered. That would allow a better correlation with health issues. There are probably many methodological impediments to such a database, but they pale in comparison to the many obvious reasons They would not want such surveillance of vaccine side effects. One of the saddest things about the whole Covid-19 shitshow is the apalling state of reputable medical science. It's been ailing for decades (no help from Dr. Fauci since he started building his little empire in the 1980s, although clearly there are many other nefarious players in this drama). True [medical] science may not be dead, but it's lying shot and stabbed and bleeding badly in some back alley.
It will be interesting watching them try to cover up just how many of those patients got infected in the hospital.
“can they seriously think that anyone will be deceived by this volte face? that what, the science changed? new info came to light?”
Um, yes they can because people are sheep and desperate for an end. They’ll believe anything. And not only that, they’ll claim it was their policies that got us here. And people will easily believe that too.
You forget that you know too much at this point that this move seems ludicrous. But most people still have their heads in the sand.
I so wish I could hope that this would be seen for what it is and that the foul chickens would come home to roost. But I suspect that all those who have swallowed the government BS propaganda for two years will continue to swallow it hook, line and sinker. It’s a presuppositional issue. Far too many people naively and deeply believe that government has the best interest of it’s citizens at heart, knows what it is doing and would never lie to them in order to serve some ulterior objective. That is their foundational, starting presupposition. And consequently they will continue to drink whatever flavor kool aid is served to them by their government.
That, &/or unable to face the fact that they were lied to in a heinous way or that their government could do something to them / their own citizenry. Or humiliation for having been fooled into the jab, something many can never admit, esp to those of us who resisted the intimidation & coercion
They need to stop paying more for a patient with Covid vs. one without Covid. That will definitely drop the number of deaths put at the feet of Covid. The gov't needs to stop making it pay for a patient to have Covid or this is just never going to stop.
“it’s the outright admission that the metrics and measures they have used all along have been fraud or so close to fraud that you would not want to live off the difference.” Impeccable line.
People are dumb. They'll buy it.
Does this mean that the gravy train of "no questions asked and we'll pay you a bonus" for the hospitals is also being updated? That would be the most accurate metric on how this diagnosis definition change is being implemented.
Would be interesting to see if they have written new "coding/reimbursement" guidelines to reflect this diagnosis change.
Ahh ok so THIS is how the Biden Admin will "stop" Covid eh? I hate them.
And we were all saying this is exactly how he would 'beat' it -- because it was always just shitty data collection to begin with.
I mean... FFS this was how they increased % of different departments and industries vaccination rates. You shitcan 20% unvaxx'd from a work force then the % of vaxx'd will increase almost magically.
Does "cooking the books" apply to this? It seems applicable.
to biden and all his ignorant cronies and ass kissers-please, while you are talking to the fluffy feline butt, I hope the kitty's anal glands find it the absolute appropriate moment to express themselves all over your faces-booyah!
Gato – you are one of my heroes – I have been following you since August 2021 (Marek’s disease post caught me) – paid sub – sadly I am responsible for some of the horrible traffic jams on this substack – I push everyone I know here. I have been compiling an historical outline regarding COVID for my friends who have not been keeping up with our government’s mistakes and manipulations. Two items I would love for you to further develop are 1) the development of Rivusiron and Patisiron and 2) the statistics of Ethiopia (and Kenya) are unbelievable. I discuss these at (https://analyticalt.substack.com). I know you could use these to knock it out of the park! Your lowly servant – ready to serve more!
Huh, that's how the vaccine cured polio too.
Hmm. Anyone know where I can place some bets on what’s going to happen over the next couple of months?
To quote Obi Wan: wretched hive of scum and villainy.
“A more wretched hive of scum and villainy you will never find”. He didn’t know about Washington DC in the 21st Century.
They're too stupid to realize how stupid they've looked over the last two years which is very stupid!
…make it look “like biden outperformed trump.” Oh, you mean like with the election?
What I want to see those MF-ers “recalibrate” is the total # of deaths OF WuFlu since early 2020 because no way in hell is it anywhere near 800,00+
