Propaganda reporters choose what information to leave out as much as what information they leave in.But what about all these deaths? Recently a man died in a motorcycle crash. He happened to test positive for Covid, so they labeled the cause of death Covid-19. This happens more often than not. Hospitals get money from the government for each Covid death reported. My wife and I personally know people who work at our local hospital who attest to this as a common practice. If someone dies due to something else, but they test positive for Covid, guess what? They list the cause of death as Covid. And when media outlets highlight one aspect of something that is partly true, but it’s not in context, and they disseminate that information only, it’s called “spin”. You’re getting the news from “spin doctors” (not the rock group, and the pun very much intended). True journalism is all but dead. This below is one prime example.
Sophie Mann published an article on November 27th, 2020, about an article from John Hopkins university that has since been taken down. In it she tells of Genevive Briand, the Assistant Program Director of Applied Economics, and professor of their master’s degree program. Miss. Briand is also a statistician. In other words, she deals with numbers. Not science, not conjecture, just what the formula works out to be.
In the article she postulates that, “the only way to understand the significance of the U.S. Coronavirus death rate is by comparing it to the number of total deaths in the country.” She compared the total number of deaths, per age group, from both before and after the onset of Covid-19. Briand states, “the reason we have a higher number of reported Covid-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals.” Isn’t that a revelation? (sarcasm)
In drilling down further, she lays out the statistical evidence in looking at deaths in different age groups. Let me just give you the abridged finding. (you can go out on the net and listen to the whole thing yourself if you wish). What she found is that when they give you the number of Covid deaths they don’t take into account all the deaths that normally happen during a definitive time period in each age group. Parenthetically let me just add that the number one killer is cardiovascular disease.
The most interesting thing to me was the fact that shortly after the aforementioned article was published on the John Hopkins university site, they removed it! And get this, they labeled it as part of “the spread of misinformation about Covid-19.” It was their professor! Their site! And it was based on facts!
