Sierra Marlee writes for BizPac Review about the latest evidence that the original COVID-19 narrative was wrong.
Journalist Sharyl Attkisson shared a study on COVID-19 deaths, and things are not as they seem.
Conservative skeptics were calling for an audit into COVID deaths from the very beginning, certain that things weren’t quite adding up. It was an unpopular position at the time, as the rest of the world was still reeling from the fear and uncertainty of a global pandemic.
Now that we are several years removed, people are finally looking into exactly how COVID deaths were categorized in Greece.
A study published in Scientific Reports reveals that “[i]n Greek hospitals, all deaths with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test are counted as COVID-19 deaths,” but investigators wanted to know whether COVID was the cause of death, a contributing factor, or not related to the cause of death.
“We categorized all study deaths into two groups: (a) deaths ‘due to’ COVID-19, where the infection was either the direct or sole cause of death, or it triggered a sequence of events that ultimately led to death, and (b) deaths ‘with’ COVID-19, where the death was unrelated to the infection. To classify each death, we used data from three sources: (a) the death certificate, (b) the chart file of the patient (paper and electronic files) and (c) we interviewed the caring physician with a structured questionnaire. We extracted epidemiological, clinical, and treatment data, including demographics, comorbidities, vaccination status, the reason for admission to the hospital, in-hospital transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the department where the patient was admitted, clinical signs and symptoms of COVID-19, laboratory and imaging findings attributed to COVID-19, need for supplementary oxygen, COVID-19 specific treatment (including early antiviral treatment for high-risk patients), and outcomes,” the study reads.
The results were less than surprising for those who had already had suspicions about the numbers:
