Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Hopkins, critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in her webinar titled “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data.” (continued on website) https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19 A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19 Editor’s Note: After The News-Letter published this article on Nov. 22, it was brought to our attention that our coverage of Genevieve Briand’s presentation “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data” has been used to support dangerous inaccuracies that minimize the impact of the pandemic. We decided on Nov. 26 to retract this article to stop the spread of misinformation, as we noted on social media. However, it is our responsibility as journalists to provide a historical record. We have chosen to take down the article from our website, but it is available here as a PDF. (continued on website) This article discounts the well-known phenomenon of anybody and everybody being classified as a COVID death if they have antibodies but were otherwise healthy because a COVID death brings a $12,000 payment for treating a COVID patient. https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/study-absolutely-no-excess-deaths-from-covid-19new-data-no-excess-deaths-from-covid-19/ Study: Absolutely NO excess deaths from COVID-19 (continued on website) (refers to the John Hopkins study above) > I notice 5% of the population of the USA is known to have contracted > COVID, so presumably 10% or more have actually had it... It is not possible to "contain" nor eradicate a virus. The flu shot for this season has the 2009 H1N1 strain in it, so, although it is not a pandemic like it was in 2009, it is still with us. I had heard the 1918 Spanish flu strain and the 198x bird flu strain were in it, but I cannot find confirmation of that. See: https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/lot-release/influenza-vaccine-2020-2021-season and https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/vaccine-selection.htm https://www.breakpoint.org/we-cant-control-covid-or-much-of-anything-else-%E2%80%A8/ We Can’t Control COVID (Or Much of Anything Else) In early March, the University of California San Francisco held a panel discussion of infectious disease specialists [1] on a new virus that had, at that point, killed 41 Americans. These experts not only estimated that 60 to 70 percent of America’s population would eventually contract the virus, but that our best attempts to contain it, either through lockdowns or contact tracing, would be, in their words, “basically futile.” (continued on website) [1] https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-150-million-americans-may-get-infected-2020-3 https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2020-11-27/covid-pcr-test-reliability-doubtful-portugal-judges/56962 Covid PCR test reliability doubtful – Portugal judges The PCR test “is unable to determine, beyond reasonable doubt, that a positive result corresponds, in fact, to the infection of a person by the SARS-CoV-2 virus”, said the Lisbon Court of Appeal. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/11/19/covid-testing-fraud-fuels-casedemic.aspx Asymptomatic 'Casedemic' Is a Perpetuation of Needless Fear _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
