Is that horizon at sunrise or sunset?
It's the same.
Sunrise I guess, they are just rising,
Either way it's a dark winter.
Ask Joe Biden

You personally are at sunrise, come out and play.

Remember when you were a kid and would go to a friends house, his mother would answer the door and you would ask

Can Raymond (whomever) come out and play?

And far be it from Johns Hopkins to say anything to challenge the "official" narrative. Just like the N.Y. Times reporting on the insanely high false positive rate. When such biased sources tell the truth, it should really get attention. Of course, they usually retract it when they realize it makes everything else they've said and done prior look foolish. Down the memory hole...

Johns Hopkins Study Saying COVID-19 Has 'Relatively No Effect on Deaths' in U.S. Deleted After Publication

Conventional wisdom is that COVID-19 has caused thousands of deaths in the United States and nearly 1.5 million worldwide. This perception has been directly challenged by a study published by Johns Hopkins University on Sunday, November 22.

Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Johns Hopkins University, critically analyzed the impact that COVID-19 had on U.S. deaths. According to her, the impact of COVID-19 on deaths in the United States can be fully understood by comparing it to the number of total deaths in the country.

According to study, “in contrast to most people’s assumptions, the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States.”

Wait, what? Really?
That’s what it says. And, it should come as no surprise that not long after the study was published it was deleted within days.
Luckily, a back-up copy remains on The Wayback Machine, and we can still read the study.

A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19

After retrieving data on the CDC website, Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September, which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared.

Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.

This suggests, according to Briand, that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading. Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19.

The CDC classified all deaths that are related to COVID-19 simply as COVID-19 deaths. Even patients dying from other underlying diseases but are infected with COVID-19 count as COVID-19 deaths. This is likely the main explanation as to why COVID-19 deaths drastically increased while deaths by all other diseases experienced a significant decrease.

When asked whether the public should be informed about this exaggeration in death numbers, Dharmasena stated that people have a right to know the truth. However, COVID-19 should still continuously be treated as a deadly disease to safeguard the vulnerable population.


Hmmmmm

TTKU. :wink-very:

How smarmy and self-serving can you get? Way to make such a brave proclamation, after the vaccine has already been developed, and the pandemic is expected to fizzle out by summer, with or without the vaccine, anyway. It's like trying to claim credit for stopping a hurricane after it makes landfall and blows over naturally. This guy is out of his mind.

You sure fall for some stupid stuff.

So the numbers are accurate, but not correct (politically). It doesn’t report the inflated COVID death toll, it includes them in the total, which renders the claim false (?).

New Age math is stupid.
