Title: David Oliver: Mistruths and misunderstandings about covid-19 death numbers
Post by: SydneyRover on June 13, 2021, 02:31:19 am
Due to some misunderstandings of how the word covid gets to appear on a death certificate here is some information from the lefty BMJ

''I want to set the record straight about some serious misinformation surrounding covid-19 death certification and mortality statistics. I will paraphrase some of the claims that I have heard repeatedly in the media:

“People are not dying from, but with, covid-19.” “Deaths classified as from covid-19 result from largely false positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results,” “deaths are mostly from other causes and underlying conditions,” “death numbers are grossly inflated,” “there is no excess mortality compared with other years or months,” and this is “no different from a normal flu season.”

''Let’s see, shall we?''

  Well Syd, looking at the last four posts you have put on here it looks like you have brought this side of the forum to a standstill for a day or two, at least I get some recognition, posters calling me a w****r or racist quicker than you get any interest.

Interesting report.  Sadly, most people will get their 'truth' from Social Media, TV and the Press!
