Introduction
The following was posted on FB as a contribution to a discussion about the deviousness of Vax company claims about the “effectiveness” of their new vaccines.
The UKR view on vax companies is that they will fiddle, distort, misrepresent, evade, fib and con as much as they feel necessary in order to make a killing from a vaccine.
Currently they do so with impunity because no-one in our shambolic and negligent government has the will or desire to inhibit their criminality and force them to behave decently and responsibly like the rest of us.
For criminality to flourish, it is only necessary for justice to be neglected.
Vax technology may well be a sound and workable technology but in the hands of criminal corporations it has become an effort to sell dodgy products, if not outright lethal weapons.
This descent by the un-policed and un-corrected pharmaceutical industry into uncorrected degenerate conduct has placed millions of us in clear and present danger.
The technology of the automobile is sound but imagine if criminal car manufacturers were allowed to get away with selling cars they have not properly trialed and tested, that are shoddily made and, in fact, death traps.
We would give them and their accomplices in government very short shrift indeed once the casualties started stacking up. This does not appear to be happening with the pharmaceutical industry – perhaps because of the degree to which they have managed to buy, pressure or blackmail influence over the second-rate intellects that comprise our degraded political class.
Imagine too a government so much in the pocket of these hypothetical criminal car manufacturers that it does nothing to ensure the honest, responsible conduct of those manufacturers and in fact colludes with them in their effort to foist off on the unsuspecting citizenry, with impunity, those very death traps.
In our view this is what is happening with pharmaceutical companies and their products – in this instance vaccines.
It is a situation in which politicians collude in and cover for criminal enterprise and are accomplices in the inflicting of actual harm upon the citizenry.
The following by Lior Lozinsky is a very good snapshot of some of the ways the aforementioned criminal corporations fudge and rig their “research”.
In short, we’d have to be idiots to take any claim by such a company at face value.
On how the vaccine manufacturers mislead the public
by Lior Lozinsky
The “reduction in Covid19 after taking the vaccine” claim is highly misleading.
According to the world, a “case” is a positive PCR test. Now this can be debated at many levels, but that’s the global standard. [UKR ED’s note: the fraud involving the use of the PCR test to “diagnose” a COVID19 case is discussed in detail elsewhere]
According to Pfizer (I haven’t checked Moderna), they don’t need to follow the same criteria.
According to Pfizer, a “case” is someone showing a chosen group of symptoms, who then, and only then tests positive on a PCR test.
Very sneaky isn’t it?
So, all the vaccines need to do is reduce the symptoms enough to remove the threshold that requires getting a PCR test to confirm.
In other words, there is no data that it reduces the likelihood of getting a positive PCR test (as an asymptomatic case, which is about 80% of cases anyways) because the PCR test is not then done.
[UKR ed’s note. By way of a simplified example, imagine if Pfizer decide that the symptoms you have to display to require a PCR test are (say) a severe headache and a dry mouth. After the subject is given the vaccine, the headache eases until it is no longer severe and that’s all it that happens. Because the person no longer had a severe headache and a severe headache was set as one of the symptoms that would require a PCR test, the PCR test is “no longer required” and so not done. So there is no proof that the vaccine has actually prevented COVID 19, only that is changed one of the symptoms.]
There is no proof it reduces cases at all, just Pfizer’s criteria of cases.
But it was always set up this way, to reduce symptoms of mild to moderate cases, but never testing whether it would do the following:
1 Reduce transmission
2. Reduce hospitalizations.
3. Reduce ICU admission
4. Reduce death.
Sneaky, but expected.
And this was only based on results of about 0.2% of those vaccinated.
Also, adverse events are only monitored for 28 days.
According to number of vaccines needed to help 1 person, you’re looking at 256 people vaccinated (in the trial) to reduce the mild symptoms of 1 person. 255 people got no benefit, while almost all had an immune reaction, and we don’t know the safety profile of the vaccine yet
Who’s lining up?

We Have Immune Systems, New York Times Reveals
By: Jeffrey A. Tucker
Scrub and spray everything with chemicals, bathe in Purell, mask up, stand no nearer to anyone else than six feet, stay away from crowds, douse yourself with alcohol, wash your hands and face raw, protect yourself from germs at all costs.
Some nations are closed completely. No one in or out.
We panic about “cases” even when they say nothing about severe consequences. Avoidance and finally suppression are the watchwords of the day, for a virus that is relatively mild by any historical standard, as Holman Jenkins just explained:
U.S. government scientists now estimate that 40% of cases are asymptomatic and 80% of symptomatic cases are mild—in short, 88% of subjects don’t know they are infected or have no great incentive to find out if they are suffering from Covid or some more familiar bug.
We could also mention the 99.9% survival rate, and that doesn’t consider the wildly disproportionate risk between the sick and healthy.
Is this an experiment? Yes, and likely a deadly one.
What precisely are we doing to ourselves? What are we doing to children?
Early in the pandemic, doctors went on the national stage to frame it up clearly: we are wrecking our immune systems and making ourselves vulnerable to more serious pathogens later.
The great discovery that viruses must be owned to be controlled was an achievement of 20th century cell biology. It’s the Godfather rule: keep your friends close but your enemies closer. It’s counterintuitive, which is precisely why it took thousands of years to discover, and a century to educate people about the problem of the conduct of public health.
But this year, starting soon after lockdowns, this wisdom strangely seemed to have vanished from the public mind. Did we just succumb to a strange anti-science hysteria?
Who knows, but if you read the New York Times carefully, and look past the insufferable political bias, what you find is something that will shock many people.
The article in question is Quarantine May Negatively Affect Kids’ Immune Systems. It’s by By Donna L. Farber and Thomas Connors and Columbia University.
Let’s just quote a few salient passages here.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the world is unwittingly conducting what amounts to the largest immunological experiment in history on our own children. We have been keeping children inside, relentlessly sanitizing their living spaces and their hands and largely isolating them. In doing so, we have prevented large numbers of them from becoming infected or transmitting the virus. But in the course of social distancing to mitigate the spread, we may also be unintentionally inhibiting the proper development of children’s immune systems … Immunological memory and tolerance learned during childhood serves as the basis for immunity and health throughout adulthood.
Just so we are clear, we are doing something to children that will affect their immune systems for the rest of their lives! That’s what these scholars say.
The article then continues and actually invokes the great taboo word of our age: exposure. It’s good. Exposure is good. It is necessary. It is needed. Not bad. Good.
However, for memory T cells to become functionally mature, multiple exposures may be necessary, particularly for cells residing in tissues such as the lung and intestines, where we encounter numerous pathogens. These exposures typically and naturally occur during the everyday experiences of childhood — such as interactions with friends, teachers, trips to the playground, sports — all of which have been curtailed or shut down entirely during efforts to mitigate viral spread. As a result, we are altering the frequency, breadth and degree of exposures that are crucial for immune memory development.
Okay, now it is time for the writer to invoke a bit of memorable scientific knowledge. It’s a beautiful paragraph with a stunning opening sentence.
Failing to train our immune systems properly can have serious consequences. When laboratory mice raised in nearly sterile conditions were housed together in the same cage with pet mice raised in standard conditions, some of the laboratory mice succumbed to pathogens that the pet mice were able to fight off. Additional studies of the microbiome — the bacteria that normally inhabit our intestines and other sites — have shown that mice raised in germ-free conditions or in the presence of antibiotics had reduced and altered immune responses to many types of pathogens. These studies suggest that for establishing a healthy immune system, the more diverse and frequent the encounters with antigens, the better.
Remember that absolutely public hysteria about alleged peanut allergies to the point that if we ate one on a plane people could die? Check this out:
Introduction of peanuts to infants resulted in reduced incidence of peanut allergy, while avoidance had the opposite effect of promoting unwanted, severe allergic immune responses to peanuts.
The article concludes with a perfunctory endorsement of masking (poor kids!), else it wouldn’t have been published, but ends with this riposte:
The sooner we can safely restore the normal experiences of childhood, interacting with other children and — paradoxically — with pathogens and diverse microorganisms, the better we can ensure their ability to thrive as adults in this changing world.
Really, all this is something my mother knows. She taught it to me. Her mother taught it to her. They were all taught it in school. The knowledge has not been deprecated. It just strangely evaporated. Or perhaps censored. I don’t know. I do know this article is a welcome relief from the poppycock of mysophobia that has taken over the public square.
Imagine wrecking the immune systems of children for a lifetime for a disease that poses almost zero risk to their lives. I call that immoral. Deeply so. People will be suffering for many decades due to this bout of anti-science hysteria.
It takes one’s breath away to contemplate the scale of the destruction these lockdowns and quarantines have caused, particularly among the most vulnerable. It’s not just depression, poverty, and demoralization of living in the midst of near-universal violations of human rights. As it turns out, we could be biologically dooming a whole generation too.
Get those kids out there! You get out there too! Sooner the better.

thelibertybeacon--2020-11-30--A compilation of twenty alleged election ‘facts’ that don’t pass the smell test

A compilation of twenty alleged election ‘ facts ’ that don ’ t pass the smell test Americans have common sense , so they can understand when they ’ re being played ( for example , when politicians place Americans under house arrest and then ignore their own rules to party and travel ) .
And they know there is no way on God ’ s green earth that decrepit , demented , corrupt , and terminally stupid Joe Biden fairly won this election .
This post assembles various election anomalies that don ’ t pass the smell test .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ American Thinker , wrote a knock-out article for The Federalist about Joe Biden ’ s magical performance in the election .
You should read the whole article , but here are four things that don ’ t pass the smell test : 1 .
Biden allegedly got 80 million votes , which is more than Obama received at his peak , in 2008 — and Biden did this despite losing minority voters to Donald Trump and trailing Trump in voter enthusiasm .
2 .
Biden broke 60 years of precedent by winning nationally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counties .
The last time this happened was when the mafia got out the vote for John F. Kennedy in 1960 .
3 .
Trump had extraordinary coattails , so much so that even the New York Times admitted that the “ Democrats Suffered Crushing Down-Ballot Losses Across America.
” Think about that : Biden had no coattails and no enthusiasm , yet he allegedly won a record number of votes .
Smells fetid to me .
4 .
Biden barely made it through the primaries , while Trump soared , with Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sign of voter enthusiasm and probable victory — yet Biden , again , allegedly scored an equally historically strong victory .
At The Spectator , Patrick Basham , a professional pollster , also felt that Biden ’ s alleged win can not pass the smell test .
Again , this is a summary , so you should read the original article : 5 .
Trump exceeded his original vote count by the largest margin for any incumbent in American history .
He got 10 million more votes than before ; by contrast , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million fewer votes than in 2008 .
6 .
Trump ’ s support among blacks grew by 50 % , while Biden ’ s fell below the important 90 % mark that Democrat candidates need to secure victory .
7 .
In the Rust Belt , Biden lost black support everywhere except in Detroit , Philadelphia , and Milwaukee .
In those cities , every single black person apparently voted for Biden .
8 .
While pollsters can and do manipulate polling outcomes , non-polling metrics ( historical norms such as the economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never been wrong — only we ’ re being told that this year was the exception .
Then there are the indicia of fraud that Dr. Navid Kershavarz-Nia detailed : 9 .
The fact that Pennsylvania , Wisconsin , Arizona , Nevada , and Georgia simultaneously pretended to halt ballot-counting while continuing to count is evidence of election fraud collusion .
11 .
The scanners were almost certainly programmed to fail to keep audit records .
12 .
In the contested states , the voting machines were alleged to have processed hundreds of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is a physical impossibility .
And here are a few more indications of fraud : 13 .
In Pennsylvania , statistically impossible numbers of late-arriving mail-in votes went to Biden .
14 .
Dominion and ES & S voting machines were created to have back doors and specific functions to manipulate votes either at the machine or over the internet .

A compilation of twenty alleged election ‘facts’ that don’t pass the smell test
By Andrea Widburg
Americans have common sense, so they can understand when they’re being played (for example, when politicians place Americans under house arrest and then ignore their own rules to party and travel). And they know there is no way on God’s green earth that decrepit, demented, corrupt, and terminally stupid Joe Biden fairly won this election. This post assembles various election anomalies that don’t pass the smell test.
J.B. Shurk, who frequently publishes at American Thinker, wrote a knock-out article for The Federalist about Joe Biden’s magical performance in the election. You should read the whole article, but here are four things that don’t pass the smell test:
1. Biden allegedly got 80 million votes, which is more than Obama received at his peak, in 2008 — and Biden did this despite losing minority voters to Donald Trump and trailing Trump in voter enthusiasm.
2. Biden broke 60 years of precedent by winning nationally despite losing prodigiously in bellwether states and counties. The last time this happened was when the mafia got out the vote for John F. Kennedy in 1960.
3. Trump had extraordinary coattails, so much so that even the New York Times admitted that the “Democrats Suffered Crushing Down-Ballot Losses Across America.” Think about that: Biden had no coattails and no enthusiasm, yet he allegedly won a record number of votes. Smells fetid to me.
4. Biden barely made it through the primaries, while Trump soared, with Trump’s performance being a historically sure sign of voter enthusiasm and probable victory — yet Biden, again, allegedly scored an equally historically strong victory.
At The Spectator, Patrick Basham, a professional pollster, also felt that Biden’s alleged win cannot pass the smell test. Again, this is a summary, so you should read the original article:
5. Trump exceeded his original vote count by the largest margin for any incumbent in American history. He got 10 million more votes than before; by contrast, Obama, in 2012, got 3.5 million fewer votes than in 2008.
6. Trump’s support among blacks grew by 50%, while Biden’s fell below the important 90% mark that Democrat candidates need to secure victory.
7. In the Rust Belt, Biden lost black support everywhere except in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee. In those cities, every single black person apparently voted for Biden.
8. While pollsters can and do manipulate polling outcomes, non-polling metrics (historical norms such as the economy, enthusiasm, etc.) have never been wrong — only we’re being told that this year was the exception.
Then there are the indicia of fraud that Dr. Navid Kershavarz-Nia detailed:
9. The fact that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia simultaneously pretended to halt ballot-counting while continuing to count is evidence of election fraud collusion.
10. Optical scanners were set to accept unverified, un-validated ballots.
11. The scanners were almost certainly programmed to fail to keep audit records.
12. In the contested states, the voting machines were alleged to have processed hundreds of thousands of ballots within a short time, which is a physical impossibility.
And here are a few more indications of fraud:
13. In Pennsylvania, statistically impossible numbers of late-arriving mail-in votes went to Biden.
14. Dominion and ES&S voting machines were created to have back doors and specific functions to manipulate votes either at the machine or over the internet.
15. Fox News’s behavior on election night (refusing to call pro-Trump outcomes while prematurely calling Arizona for Biden) was so abnormal that Vegas oddsmakers instantly assumed that the fix was in.
16. The allegedly late-arriving mailed in ballots increased Biden’s equally alleged lead with statistically impossible perfection and stability.
17. There were anomalies in Virginia that suggested that computers were subtracting votes from Trump and, sometimes, giving them to Biden.
18. One analysis shows that voting machines in Michigan systematically removed votes from Trump and handed them to Biden. I saw a rebuttal (which I cannot locate now) that purported to debunk this but did so by using a different scale on the X-axis, which I found inherently suspicious.
19. Over 100,000 Pennsylvania absentee ballots were returned a day after they were mailed out, on the day they were mailed out, or on the day before they were mailed out.
20. In all the contested areas, and at Dominion’s website, Democrats have been systematically failing to create or have destroyed all data that could be used to demonstrate fraud. This creates the legal presumption that the data do, in fact, show fraud.
On behalf of all Trump voters, I say to the Democrats who are trying to gaslight us: don’t spit in my face and tell me it’s raining.

It’s not surprising that online shopping stole the spotlight on Black Friday as Covid-19 continues to limit the amount of time people want to spend in public.
Online spending on Black Friday jumped by 21.6% to a record $9 billion , according to data from Adobe Analytics, which analyzed transactions from 80 of the top 100 U.S. online retailers. The total makes this year’s Black Friday the second-largest single day for online shopping in U.S. history behind last year’s Cyber Monday, when shoppers spent $9.4 billion .
The total breaks down to $6.3 million spent per minute online, according to Adobe. Consumers increasingly shopped from the palm of their hands as spending from smartphones jumped by more than 25% to $3.6 billion, accounting for 40% of the day’s total online spending.
“New consoles, phones, smart devices and TVs that are traditional Black Friday purchases are sharing online shopping cart space this year with unorthodox Black Friday purchases such as groceries, clothes and alcohol, that would previously have been purchased in-store,” Adobe Digital Insights director Taylor Schreiner said.
Online spending on Thanksgiving also hit a record this year as consumers spent $5.1 billion, according to Adobe. Despite jumping more than 21% compared to last Thanksgiving, the total fell shy of Adobe’s estimate of $6 billion.
“While yesterday was a record-breaking Thanksgiving Day with over $5 billion spent online, it didn’t come with the kind of aggressive growth rate we’ve seen with the start of the pandemic,” Schreiner said. “Heavy discounts and aggressive promotions starting in early November succeeded at getting consumers to open their wallets earlier.”
As for today’s Cyber Monday, Adobe expects it to break last year’s record with sales totaling between $10.8 billion and $12.7 billion, which would be an increase of 15% to 35% from last year.
With Americans largely at home shopping online, foot traffic at stores fell by more than 52% compared to last year’s Black Friday, according to Sensormatic Solutions. Traffic on Thanksgiving fell by 94.9% as retailers such as Walmart and Target closed their stores this year.
“We knew Black Friday [traffic] was going to be down, we just didn’t know how much it was going to be down,” Sensormatic Solutions senior director of global retail consulting Brian Field said. “Black Friday this year, from a traffic impact perspective, looked a lot like a typical Saturday after a Black Friday.”
With Covid-19 giving e-commerce a boost, it will be interesting to see if the days of people trampling over each other to get into stores on Thanksgiving and Black Friday will ever make a comeback.

Understanding the head-spinning series of court orders in Georgia
By: Andrea Widburg
If you’re wondering what happened in Georgia on Sunday, you’re not alone. A federal district court issued three different orders about county officials’ plans to wipe Dominion voting machines. Thankfully, the last order gets it right and stops Georgia officials from erasing information on voting machines at the heart of the debate about election fraud.
Word went out that Georgia officials were wiping Dominion voting machines in Fulton County, ostensibly to prepare them for the run-off election, which is more than a month away. In Coreco Ja’qan Pearson, et al. v. Brian Kemp, et al., a lawsuit seeking to stop Georgia from certifying the election, the plaintiffs filed an emergency request for injunctive relief to stop the deletions.
Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr. issued an order stopping Union County officials from wiping voting machines:
In addition, Plaintiffs contend that Union County officials have advised that they are going to wipe or reset the voting machines of all data and bring the count back to zero on Monday, November 30. To the extent Plaintiffs seek a temporary restraining order to preserve the voting machines of the State of Georgia, and to prevent any wiping of data, their motion is granted. Defendants are ordered to maintain the status quo and are temporarily enjoined from wiping or resetting any voting machines in the State of Georgia until further order of the Court.
This was an appropriate order. The point of injunctive relief is to stop irreversible actions that could negatively affect material issues in a lawsuit.
An hour later, Judge Batten reversed his order because plaintiffs had not named the county officials who controlled the voting machines:
Plaintiffs’ request fails because the voting equipment that they seek to impound is in the possession of county election officials. Any injunction the Court issues would extend only to Defendants and those within their control, and Plaintiffs have not demonstrated that county election officials are within Defendants’ control. Defendants cannot serve as a proxy for local election officials against whom the relief should be sought. [snip] Therefore, to the extent Plaintiffs seek emergency relief to impound and preserve the voting machines, that request is denied.
Lin Wood, upon learning of the order, asked the appropriate question: “Why are GA officials determined to wipe these machines clean [by] resetting them?”
At this point, Lin Wood’s counsel in a different matter filed a “spoliation letter.” I discussed that doctrine here.
Briefly, the spoliation doctrine holds that, when a party to litigation, a person or entity who knows litigation is possible and imminent, or a person constrained by law, destroys documents, that destruction creates the automatic presumption that the evidence so destroyed proved the liability or guilt of the person or entity who carried out that destruction. Put more simply, only someone guilty would destroy evidence.
In the letter, Wood’s attorney put the defendants on notice as to the evidence they will be expected to make available as the litigation continues.
Meanwhile, in Pearson v. Kemp, things were looking grim. However, late in the evening, Judge Batten reversed himself again. In his third (final?) order, Batten summarized the parties’ arguments.
The plaintiffs said that they would amend their complaint to add the county officials, which would address the court’s concerns about jurisdiction. The defendants, who do not include Dominion, said “allowing such forensic inspections would pose substantial security and proprietary/trade secret risks to Defendants.” I’m probably missing something here, but why would Georgia government officials be claiming “proprietary/trade secret risks” in the Dominion voting system?
Plaintiffs’ counsel countered that defendants’ could record any forensic analysis. Afterward, the information would not be released but would be subject only to the court’s review (in camera review). This is the norm in cases involving trade secrets and proprietary information.
Judge Batten decided he needed more information. He gave the defendants until Wednesday, December 2, at 5 p.m. to file a detailed brief explaining their concerns. In the meantime:
Defendants are hereby ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from altering, destroying, or erasing, or allowing the alteration, destruction, or erasure of, any software or data on any Dominion voting machine in Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee Counties.
It took three tries but, for the time being, the court finally got it right.
One more thing: Lin Wood is among those advising Georgia conservatives to boycott the January 5 election in the Senate runoff. I’m with Trump that this is bat-fecal matter crazy:
No, the 2020 Election was a total scam, we won by a lot (and will hopefully turn over the fraudulent result), but we must get out and help David and Kelly, two GREAT people. Otherwise we are playing right into the hands of some very sick people. I will be in Georgia on Saturday! https://t.co/1ziqFq9S6O — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2020
Until the fraud is proven, the elections are going forward and it’s imperative that conservatives turn out in full force.

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-01--Covid Misclassification: What Does the Data Suggest?

Covid Misclassification : What Do the Data Suggest ?
According to Worldometer , U.S. deaths from Covid-19 were 272,254 as of 11/29/2020 .
What are “ deaths from Covid-19 ?
” One definition would be deaths where Covid-19 was the primary cause .
An example would be a patient who has a positive polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) test for the virus responsible for Covid-19 and a clinical picture of hypoxemia , bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on imaging , no obvious other cause , such as influenza or congestive heart failure ( CHF ) , and who dies from progressive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Another definition would be deaths where Covid-19 was a contributing cause but not necessarily the primary disease .
An example would be a patient with diabetes or end-stage renal disease who develops an upper respiratory infection URI , has a positive PCR test , never recovers from the URI , deteriorates over many weeks to months and eventually dies .
In this case the underlying cause of death was the diabetes or end-stage renal disease weakening the host defenses and the Covid-19 was the precipitating cause of acute illness and eventual death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who dies , has a positive PCR test , but the Covid-19 clearly had nothing to do with the death .
An example would be a trauma victim who had no respiratory symptoms prior to trauma and coincidentally has a positive PCR test .
Figure 1 : Daily U.S. deaths attributed to Covid-19 .
Data are from Worldometer as of 11/29/2020 .
Figure 1 illustrates the death count from Covid-19 .
These data are based on death certificates .
If the death certificate includes Covid-19 , then the death is included whether or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contributing cause of death .
The problems with these data are uncertainties about how many deaths are merely associated with Covid-19 rather than caused by Covid-19 .
These uncertainties are not helped by the fact that many of these patients are cared for at university medical centers , the death certificates are often filled out by resident physicians in training , and these resident physicians receive no formal training on how to fill out the certificates .
These uncertainties are not helped by the fact that the hospital receives a bonus payment for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Covid which is included in the problem list for every patient with a positive PCR test .
Therefore , a financial incentive exists to perform PCR testing on every patient and label every patient with a positive PCR test as having Covid-19 .
One way to sort out these uncertainties is by comparing deaths in 2020 to deaths in previous years .
This is sometimes called excess deaths .
At least one study has used this methodology to question the narrative about numbers of Covid deaths .
This study looked at total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expand on this method by looking at categories of cause of death separately .
The Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) separates deaths into 5 categories : respiratory diseases , circulatory diseases , malignant neoplasm , Alzheimer disease and dementia , and other select causes .
Figure 2 : Deaths by week of the year .
Data are from the CDC .
Gray curves are data for years 2015-2019 .
Brown curves are for the current year 2020 .
Figure 2 illustrates the 5 categories of cause of death .
The panel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happened in 2020 for this cause of death .
The other panels all have a spike occurring between week 15 and 20 which corresponds to the first wave of the Covid pandemic around April and May .
These other panels also have similar shapes with a decline from Week 15 to about Week 25 , and a second wave peaking between Week 30 and Week 35 .
The most recent data from around Week 40 should be considered incomplete due to incomplete reporting .
Although the curves in these other panels have similar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year compared to previous years is much different for the panel illustrating deaths from respiratory diseases .
From about Weeks 18-22 , the deaths from respiratory diseases appear to be less in 2020 than in previous years .
How can a respiratory illness like Covid-19 have caused fewer respiratory deaths than previous years yet be blamed for the increase in deaths from all causes ?
The most notable excess in deaths after Week 20 are occurring from circulatory disease .
Circulatory disease includes deaths caused by hypertension , stroke , congestive heart failure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possible that some deaths from circulatory disease should be attributed to Covid-19 .
An example would be a patient who comes in with Covid-19 respiratory disease , eventually has cardiac arrest after 30 days on a mechanical ventilator , and the resident who fills out the death certificate is only aware of the cardiac arrest and was not involved in the 30 days leading up to the cardiac arrest .
The resident may get a notice to fill out the death certificate a week after the incident and does not even remember the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ middle of the night for a “ Code Blue.
” It is also possible that a clear case of circulatory death is misattributed to Covid-19 .
An example would be a patient who has an acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest , is brought to the hospital by emergency medical services ( EMS ) , has a nasal swab obtained in the emergency department ( ED ) along with a zillion other lab tests , and dies in the ED .
The ED physician filling out the death certificate a week later has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ED physician to label every death with a positive PCR test as a Covid death and does so .
How many patients are incorrectly labeled as non-Covid circulatory deaths when they are clearly Covid related ?
We do not know , but the financial incentives are against this type of error .
How many patients are incorrectly labeled as Covid deaths when the positive PCR test result had nothing to do with the cause of death ?
We do not know , but the financial incentives favor this type of error .
Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from acute myocardial infarction where Covid was not responsible ?
The obvious explanation is the lockdown response to Covid-19 made maintenance health care and urgent health care less available .
Clinics were largely shut down .
Zoom visits were possible for established patients but not for new patients .
It is very plausible that excess circulatory deaths were not caused by Covid-19 but rather the authoritarian lockdowns in response to Covid-19 .
The above issue of death by lockdown becomes more important when considering the panel for Alzheimer disease and dementia .
While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a circulatory death , it is not plausible that Covid-19 precipitated a case of dementia .
There would be little or no reason for resident physicians to mislabel a death caused by Covid-19 as a dementia death .
These deaths are almost certainly due to the lockdown response to Covid-19 which led to reduced maintenance care for patients with dementia who require a lot of maintenance care every day .
Even during the April peak , excess deaths from dementia were greater than excess deaths from all respiratory disease .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other than death by lockdown .

According to Worldometer, U.S. deaths from Covid-19 were 272,254 as of 11/29/2020. What are “deaths from Covid-19?” One definition would be deaths where Covid-19 was the primary cause. An example would be a patient who has a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for the virus responsible for Covid-19 and a clinical picture of hypoxemia, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on imaging, no obvious other cause, such as influenza or congestive heart failure (CHF), and who dies from progressive acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Another definition would be deaths where Covid-19 was a contributing cause but not necessarily the primary disease. An example would be a patient with diabetes or end-stage renal disease who develops an upper respiratory infection URI, has a positive PCR test, never recovers from the URI, deteriorates over many weeks to months and eventually dies.
In this case the underlying cause of death was the diabetes or end-stage renal disease weakening the host defenses and the Covid-19 was the precipitating cause of acute illness and eventual death. Another definition would be a patient who dies, has a positive PCR test, but the Covid-19 clearly had nothing to do with the death. An example would be a trauma victim who had no respiratory symptoms prior to trauma and coincidentally has a positive PCR test.
Figure 1: Daily U.S. deaths attributed to Covid-19. Data are from Worldometer as of 11/29/2020.
Figure 1 illustrates the death count from Covid-19. These data are based on death certificates. If the death certificate includes Covid-19, then the death is included whether or not Covid-19 was the primary or even contributing cause of death. The problems with these data are uncertainties about how many deaths are merely associated with Covid-19 rather than caused by Covid-19.
These uncertainties are not helped by the fact that many of these patients are cared for at university medical centers, the death certificates are often filled out by resident physicians in training, and these resident physicians receive no formal training on how to fill out the certificates. These uncertainties are not helped by the fact that the hospital receives a bonus payment for patients who have the ICD-10 diagnostic code for Covid which is included in the problem list for every patient with a positive PCR test. Therefore, a financial incentive exists to perform PCR testing on every patient and label every patient with a positive PCR test as having Covid-19.
One way to sort out these uncertainties is by comparing deaths in 2020 to deaths in previous years. This is sometimes called excess deaths. At least one study has used this methodology to question the narrative about numbers of Covid deaths. This study looked at total deaths from all causes. I will expand on this method by looking at categories of cause of death separately. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) separates deaths into 5 categories: respiratory diseases, circulatory diseases, malignant neoplasm, Alzheimer disease and dementia, and other select causes.
Figure 2: Deaths by week of the year. Data are from the CDC. Gray curves are data for years 2015-2019. Brown curves are for the current year 2020.
Figure 2 illustrates the 5 categories of cause of death. The panel for malignant neoplasms shows that nothing unusual happened in 2020 for this cause of death. The other panels all have a spike occurring between week 15 and 20 which corresponds to the first wave of the Covid pandemic around April and May. These other panels also have similar shapes with a decline from Week 15 to about Week 25, and a second wave peaking between Week 30 and Week 35. The most recent data from around Week 40 should be considered incomplete due to incomplete reporting. Although the curves in these other panels have similar shapes, the level of the current year compared to previous years is much different for the panel illustrating deaths from respiratory diseases.
From about Weeks 18-22, the deaths from respiratory diseases appear to be less in 2020 than in previous years. How can a respiratory illness like Covid-19 have caused fewer respiratory deaths than previous years yet be blamed for the increase in deaths from all causes? The most notable excess in deaths after Week 20 are occurring from circulatory disease. Circulatory disease includes deaths caused by hypertension, stroke, congestive heart failure, and myocardial ischemia.
It is possible that some deaths from circulatory disease should be attributed to Covid-19. An example would be a patient who comes in with Covid-19 respiratory disease, eventually has cardiac arrest after 30 days on a mechanical ventilator, and the resident who fills out the death certificate is only aware of the cardiac arrest and was not involved in the 30 days leading up to the cardiac arrest. The resident may get a notice to fill out the death certificate a week after the incident and does not even remember the case other than being called in the middle of the night for a “Code Blue.”
It is also possible that a clear case of circulatory death is misattributed to Covid-19. An example would be a patient who has an acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest, is brought to the hospital by emergency medical services (EMS), has a nasal swab obtained in the emergency department (ED) along with a zillion other lab tests, and dies in the ED. The ED physician filling out the death certificate a week later has been instructed by the hospital employing the ED physician to label every death with a positive PCR test as a Covid death and does so.
How many patients are incorrectly labeled as non-Covid circulatory deaths when they are clearly Covid related? We do not know, but the financial incentives are against this type of error. How many patients are incorrectly labeled as Covid deaths when the positive PCR test result had nothing to do with the cause of death? We do not know, but the financial incentives favor this type of error.
Why would there be an excess of deaths from acute myocardial infarction where Covid was not responsible? The obvious explanation is the lockdown response to Covid-19 made maintenance health care and urgent health care less available. Clinics were largely shut down. Zoom visits were possible for established patients but not for new patients. It is very plausible that excess circulatory deaths were not caused by Covid-19 but rather the authoritarian lockdowns in response to Covid-19.
The above issue of death by lockdown becomes more important when considering the panel for Alzheimer disease and dementia. While Covid-19 could plausibly be the precipitating factor for a circulatory death, it is not plausible that Covid-19 precipitated a case of dementia. There would be little or no reason for resident physicians to mislabel a death caused by Covid-19 as a dementia death.
These deaths are almost certainly due to the lockdown response to Covid-19 which led to reduced maintenance care for patients with dementia who require a lot of maintenance care every day. Even during the April peak, excess deaths from dementia were greater than excess deaths from all respiratory disease. This is very difficult to explain by any hypothesis other than death by lockdown.
