Opinion: Americans deserve the truth about the overcounting of COVID-19 deaths
The White House just announced that President Joe Biden has scheduled the end of the COVID-19 “public health emergency.” It will happen on May 11.
The “emergency,” which was said to be justified by the risk that hospitals would be overwhelmed, has continued years longer than any credible threat that hospitals might be overwhelmed. Throughout it all, the public was told continuously that people are dying in frightening numbers “due to COVID.” One of those experts is Robin Dretler, who is the former president of the Georgia chapter of Infectious Diseases Society of America. He said that at Emory Decatur Hospital, where he is an attending physician, “90 percent of patients diagnosed with COVID are actually in the hospital for some other illness.”
Massachusetts took additional measures to determine how many hospitalized patients “with” COVID were there “due to” COVID. The state requires hospitals to report how many COVID-positive patients receive a particular drug, dexamethasone, which is a standard treatment for the type of lung inflammation induced by COVID. The result? Only about 30 percent of patients hospitalized “with” COVID were hospitalized “for” COVID.
