8.31.2020 Yesterday variations of this post hit most social medias causing more division between Americans for the sake of pressing a political agenda:
“Did any sheep out there notice that the fake news CDC finally changed the death toll from 153,504 to 10,310?”
(the link is real)
Comments on the post were consistent with, “The CDC want us to believe COVID-19 deaths are higher than they really are. So, if a person dies in an auto accident but had COVID-19, the CDC lists COVID-19 as their cause of death.”
Recommend we research and validate – facts do not have political agendas.
The CDC has always acknowledged the difference between dying with COVID-19 and dying from COVID-19.
These tables/statistics have been available since the last week of May 2020, no new reveal here.
Table 3 is populated from data from death certificates (block 32 Cause of Death) line a. Immediate Cause, lines b. – d. Sequentially list conditions leading to the cause of death, contributing causes of death have always been used in these tables. Meaning if a person’s cause of death was respiratory failure (block 32, a. Respiratory Failure), but other conditions led to the cause of death i.e. COVID-19, Obesity, Diabetes, etc. they would all be listed in the death certificate because they all were factors in the person’s death.
Meaning death occurred because of those conditions, of which COVID-19 was one – the absence of COVID-19 (or other leading causes) may have resulted in no death.
The point, perhaps the deceased came into contact with someone who failed to understand the scientific basics of how viruses are spread and also lacked simple human kindness and is now dead on the altar of some political agenda – tragically dead instead of living their life and treating their preexisting respiratory condition.
Seriously, facts do not have political agendas.
