All this shows that Bill Gates has had a remarkable preoccupation with the possibility of a global pandemic outbreak he said could be even larger than the alleged deaths from the mysterious 1918 Spanish Flu, and has been warning for at least the past five years or more. What the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also has been involved in is funding development of new vaccines using bleeding-edge CRISPR gene-editing and other technologies. (source)
Event 201 also (interestingly) took place during the Military World Games. This would China to accuse the US of bringing the virus to China.

Lies, Damn Lies, and COVID-19 Statistics
The reality is that we are enduring the most statistic-driven crisis in the history of mankind. And if there is one statistic above all the others that has precipitated the lockdowns, the self-inflicted economic armageddon, and the most effective media-driven fear campaign ever devised, the total number of deaths goes right to the top of the list. Yet what if the death totals are not only inaccurate but decidedly so?
Since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, Americans have been told countless times that public policy was based on Science (with a capital S) and that the public should just obey the scientists. But the accuracy of their predictions and the consequent appropriateness of policies seems to have been little better than Ask Dr. Science and the 0 percent accuracy rate of its answers. In fact, the massive errors in measurement that have been part and parcel of the scientific COVID Kops show should bring us back to what Lord Kelvin said about science and measurement: “If you cannot measure it, then it is not science” and “your theory is apt to be based more upon imagination than upon knowledge.”
To get an idea of how serious the COVID measurement problems are, one need only look to the two medical experts most commonly appearing on our TV screens. Dr. Anthony Fauci recently testified his belief that its death toll is “almost certainly higher” than reported, because “there may have been people who died at home who did have COVID, who were not counted as COVID because they never really got to the hospital.” In contrast, the Washington Post recently reported that Deborah Birx believes that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) accounting system is double counting some cases, boosting case and mortality measurements “by as much as 25 percent.” And what could be a clearer statement of the measurement problems than Birx’s assertion that “there is nothing from the CDC that I can trust”?
Birx’s skepticism may have also been driven by the CDC’s introduction of a new COVID-19 death coding directive published on March 24. It could be charitably described as ambiguous at best, with regard to someone dying of coronavirus, as opposed to dying with coronavirus. The directive stated, “COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death” [bold in the original].
Birx wasn’t alone. Dr. Annie Bukacek, MD, who has filled out death certificates for 30 years, was equally skeptical. “More often than we want to admit, we don’t know with certainty the cause of death when we fill out death certificates,” she stated, adding that Americans should be concerned “when governments are making massive changes that affect our constitutional rights and those changes are based on inaccurate statistics.”
Adding to the confusion, Fox News reveals there is no uniform way in which states collate their data. “Some states count presumed coronavirus deaths along with confirmed cases under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance issued last month,” it reports. “Other states don’t count those deaths.”
The mangled measurements have been with us from the beginning of the COVID crisis. Mild cases were (and still are) frequently undetected. That means that we have undercounted how many people have (or have had) the disease. It also means that we have overestimated the risk of contagion, which is perhaps the most crucial determinant of COVID’s risk to others.
Early on, there were a very limited number of tests and many of the first ones were faulty. So, as increasing numbers are being tested, especially systematically, rather than just targeting those who are already suspected of having COVID, we must disentangle the portion of the uptick of reported cases, and the implied downward adjustment of the odds of death and the risk of spread, caused by testing more of the population to determine whether there is an increasing incidence of the disease. When tests for COVID antibodies started to be done, it also suggested that more had already been exposed, changing the critical numbers again. And then there are questions about herd immunity, including whether sheltering at home actually undermines its development. Similarly, the constantly updated numbers of COVID cases in particular areas overstated the risk to others, since those who have gotten better and are not a potential source of contagion are still included in those counts.
This continuing evolution of what Science tells us reveals that what we are being told at any given time is highly likely to be revised, if not reversed, soon, and perhaps repeatedly. That should make us leery of all claims, including forecasts, premised on the truth of current Science. And if that weren’t bad enough, even the accuracy of the basic data has been compromised.
In some places, reported COVID deaths have included everyone who has it when they die, overstating (to a degree that we can’t know without more detailed information than we now have, and may ever have, for many cases) COVID risks. The director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, Dr. Ngozi Ezike, illustrated the problem when she said, “if you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death….[E]ven if you died of clear alternative cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it’s still listed as a COVID death.” Further, the miscounting is often not due to judgments about shades of gray. For instance, Colorado counted a man who died of acute alcohol poisoning (his blood alcohol content (BAC) was 0.55, when 0.30 is considered lethal) as a COVID death. And when the state recounted to include only deaths caused by COVID, its total fell from 1,150 to only 878.
Another adjustment silently made by the CDC more than 6 months into the ‘pandemic,’ eliminated deaths previously counted as COVID-19 deaths but were actually caused by another pre-existing comorbidity. This adjustment showed that only 6% of all coronavirus deaths were related to the coronavirus alone. The LA County Health Services Director said that 90% of Covid positive patients were not hospitalized for Covid-19 and 90% of those hospitalized for “covid” had underlying conditions. That’s because the PCR test is a fraud and can falsely show anyone has covid.
New York has also counted as COVID deaths cases involving flulike symptoms, even when postmortem COVID tests have been negative. CDC guidance explicitly advises that “suspected” cases, even in the absence of test evidence, can be reported as COVID deaths. That is why the New York Times could report that on April 21 the city death toll was augmented by “3,700 additional people who were presumed to have died of the coronavirus but had never tested positive.” This was further exposed by veteran nurse turned investigative journalist Erin Marie Olszewski, who exposed Covid-19 patients, many who never even tested positive, being purposefully murdered (putting people on ventilators with 88% overall death rate… 97.2% in NY cases!) to boost numbers.
NY has accounted for nearly HALF of all US deaths from COVID-19. Results also show that you are twice as likely to die from the China Coronavirus in a Democrat state than a Republican State.
A Coronavirus mortality study in Sweden is consistent with another US study that each confirm that overall mortality is not much different than a bad seasonal flu. The study also concludes that the media was responsible for the fear caused during this time period.
Perhaps the most telling numbers are those that show the vast majority who have died suffered underlying illnesses or conditions:
- Italy: 99% of people who died from COVID-19 had other illnesses, according to Italian officials. In November 2021, they corrected the Covid suspected deaths from 132,161 to 3783, a 97% reduction.
- USA: 99% have pre-existing conditions
- Germany: Leaked report says COVID-19 was a hoax. The people who die from Corona essentially would statistically die in 2020 anyway
- NY: New York Data Confirms 99% of Coronavirus Fatalities Have Pre-Existing Conditions
- England: 95% of patients had underlying conditions. The mainstream media claims more than 50,000 Brits died in 2020 ‘with‘ COVID-19, but official government data proves only 13,844 people were actually infected by the disease in the whole of 2020.
Dr. Scott Jensen disclosed on The Ingraham Angle that hospitals are paid more if they list patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Senator Dr. Scott Jensen: Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.
Doctor Kaufman’s:
Data shows CDC categorizing deaths from common flu as covid deaths
The CDC website charts Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and as Dr. Kaufman points out in the above video, numbers are down in all age brackets for total deaths in almost every country / region. When we also look at the fact that flu and pneumonia deaths are also down significantly, can we ascertain that some of these deaths (maybe all) are being classified under this new virus? Here’s a chart:
Is it not amazing that the regular Flu deaths dropped like a rock starting at the beginning of February 2020 and deviate well below every other year following 2013? The dramatic diversion of regular Flu deaths vs. recent past years started at the same time the Coronavirus pandemic started. Hmmm … Where did all these deaths go? The 2019-2020 regular Flu season has been phenomenally great (fewer deaths) compared to the past six years. Has the world been cured of regular Flu? They’re counting deaths from car accidents, motorcycle accidents, skydiving accidents, homicides, birth defects, gunshot wounds (40% of one counties covid deaths were gunshot wounds), shark attacks, ladder falls, and who knows what else, so why not manipulate the flu numbers if you’re trying to promote a fake pandemic.
Stats directly from the CDC show flu deaths fell sharply as COVID-19 deaths suddenly increased in several states, further fueling suspicions that deaths caused by the seasonal flu may be being counted as COVID deaths. The bizarre correlation is noticeable in graphs composed by an independent statistician contracted by Infowars to organize data released by the CDC in the past few months. In the following charts comparing flu and covid deaths in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas and Michigan, the sudden drop in flu deaths is noticeable in all states around weeks 12-13.
The graphs with blue and red overlapping lines show an inverse relationship between flu deaths and covid deaths, a trend supporting the theory that deaths from the common flu are being categorized as covid deaths – which would inflate coronavirus death count statistics.
The same thing followed in the fall of 2020.
In an October column for his new venture, Just the News, reporter John Solomon pointed this out, citing data from the CDC’s own weekly flu tracker.
This isn’t only an issue for the US. The WHO acknowledged that flu levels remain low around the globe.
“Globally, influenza activity remained at lower levels than expected for this time of the year,” the WHO wrote earlier this month, “though increased detections were reported in some countries.” “In the temperate zones of the southern hemisphere,” the organization continued, “the influenza season remained low or below baseline. Despite continued or even increased testing for influenza in some countries in the southern hemisphere, very few influenza detections were reported.”
“In the temperate zones of the southern hemisphere,” the organization continued, “the influenza season remained low or below baseline. Despite continued or even increased testing for influenza in some countries in the southern hemisphere, very few influenza detections were reported.”
In 2022, Pearson Sharp at OAN released an investigation on the disappearing flu numbers for children. The CDC disappeared all of the flu deaths for 2020 and 2021:
Big pharma has been renaming and repackaging disease with the exact symptoms throughout the vaccine era in order to manipulate and propagandize the public that vaccines are safe and effective and have eradicated diseases that were already on the decline due to proper sanitation, nutrition, etc. FOX News (7/25/21) reported:
“There were 646 deaths relating to the flu among adults reported in 2020, whereas in 2019 the CDC estimated that between 24,000 and 62,000 people died from influenza-related illnesses.”
All this evidence reveals that the COVID Science and conclusions Americans were supposed to follow unquestioningly have been incredibly incomplete or wrong, with the stability of quicksand. Such Science is too frail a reed to depend on in making policies with multitrillion dollar price tags. What it does support is much more humility, reflecting Kelvin’s recognition that:
When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media just wouldn’t turn the hype machine off, and they seem willing to twist facts if that is what was necessary. Could it be possible that they are trying to hurt President Trump politically? As evidenced by Coup #1 (RussiaGate) and Coup #2 (UkraineGate), the democrats are desperate to keep Trump out of the Oval office in 2020 and the COVID-19 Planned-DEM-ic could very well be Coup #3. They blame Trump for the high numbers in the US while ignoring the fact that we have tested a much higher number of our citizens than any other country. They claim he reacted too slowly, but he locked down flights coming in from China while Fauci and many democrats were claiming the virus was no big deal. All this from the mainstream media who defended Cuomo after it was learned he was sending COVID-19 patients back to the nursing homes, contradicting federal guidelines for nursing homes, where 45% of COVID-deaths were occurring. The globalists used the plandemic to kill the booming economy and then blamed Trump for high unemployment leading up to the election when it was all democrat governors refusing to reopen their states.
In fact, CDC data, according to a mid-August report by Dr. Colleen Huber at PrimaryDoctor.org, 2020 has the lowest weekly death rate in a decade – so far, and are actually lower than annual US deaths in 20 of the last 21 years. Has COVID-19 resulted in more deaths (known as “excess deaths”) than would have happened in a typical year? An obstacle to answering that question is that testing for COVID-19 is flawed from being both inaccurate and imprecise, for reasons discussed in her report, and she also points out that it is difficult to distinguish COVID-19 from other respiratory illnesses, due to symptoms and signs that are mostly indistinguishable from the common cold, flu or pneumonia. It is possible that flu and pneumonia deaths, and perhaps others, have been ascribed to COVID-19, especially due to peculiarities in mortality reporting discussed below.
According to all-cause mortality statistics,1 the number of Americans who died between January 2021 and August 2021 is 16% higher than 2018, the pre-COVID year with the highest all-cause mortality, and 18% higher than the average death rate between 2015 and 2019. Adjusted for population growth of about 0.6% annually, the mortality rate in 2021 is 16% above the average and 14% above the 2018 rate. Read More HERE…

Mises & PatriotPost.us
(via NoMoreFakeNews.com) The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has actually been running its own pneumonia scam for a long time. Some years ago, when Rappaport was writing about the flu, he received emails from Peter Doshi and Martin Maloney. They fed him data from the CDC’s own charts detailing flu deaths in the US. And they pointed out the lies.
Doshi went on to write an analysis for the journal BMJ Online (December 2005). Here is a key quote from his report:
“[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.”
You see, the CDC has created one overall category that combines both flu and pneumonia deaths. THEY CALL THIS CATEGORY “FLU.” Why do they do this? Why do they deceptively assert the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu? Because they want to sell doctors and the public on the “dangers of the flu” because the influenza vaccine is a very profitable one on an annual basis.
Pneumonia has a number of non-flu causes. But even worse, in all the 2001 flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 revealed the presence of an influenza virus. Therefore, the CDC couldn’t truthfully say that more than 18 people died of influenza in 2001. Not 36,000 deaths, the old CDC PR statistic. 18 deaths.
Doshi continued his assessment of published CDC flu-death statistics: “Between 1979 and 2001, [CDC] data show an average of 1348 [flu] deaths per year (range 257 to 3006).” These figures refer to flu separated out from pneumonia. This low death toll would drop MUCH lower, if you added the need to confirm the presence of a flu virus in those cases. Clearly, the CDC combines flu and pneumonia in one category, and calls it “flu,” in order to lie about the number of flu deaths in the US, and thus push the flu vaccine.
Liars tend to tell the same kinds of lies, over and over. Medical liars often import diseases which have nothing to do with their claims, in order to build up case numbers and pump up threats and fears. And then sell toxic drugs and vaccines, as solutions.
Historically, pneumonia has been a major disease in China. Long before “the emergence of the new human coronavirus,” people in China were dying of pneumonia at the rate of about 300,000 a year. Now those people, passing away from the disease in 2020, can be falsely called “deadly epidemic cases.” How convenient.
Johns Hopkins was quick to release a COVID-19 dashboard with real-time statistics and a panic map filled with red dots to indicate areas infected with COVID-19. Hundreds, if not thousands, of establishment media outlets and leftist platforms act as if the JH Dashboard’s reported death tallies represent the undisputed gospel truth. THEY DO NOT. Here are three specific known reasons seen recently:
- As Gateway Pundit noted on May 16, Colorado reduced its reported death count by 278.
- As GWP noted on Tuesday May 19, New Jersey reduced its death toll by 1,400 at nursing homes from its official tally. The new coronavirus death total for New Jersey’s long-term care (LTC) facilities, which was lowered from 5,700 to 4,295. This funny math was used to make the Democrat state leaders look better as the death toll in the Garden State continued to climb.
- As The Freedom Foundation in Washington State reported on May 18, the Evergreen State’s “COVID-19 death total is inflated by as much as 13 percent due to state’s practice of counting every person who tests positive for COVID-19 and subsequently dies, even if the death was not caused by COVID-19.” Specifically, “106 (13 percent) deaths involved persons who had previously tested positive for COVID-19 but did not have the virus listed anywhere on their death certificate as either causing or contributing to death.”
It should be obvious that two of these three instances should have led to downward adjustments to state and nationwide death tolls. But the JH Dashboard’s reported death tolls in Colorado, New Jersey and Washington State have increased steadily during the past 10 days without interruption.
Taking a deeper dive into the statistical mess, John Lott and Dr. Timothy Craig Allen published a column on May 16 which demonstrated that “The US is Dramatically Overcounting Coronavirus Deaths.”
Among the specifics:
– The article quoted Illinois’ Director of Public Health, who admitted that “technically even if you died of clear alternative cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it’s still listed as a COVID death.”
– In two of the hardest-hit counties in Michigan, “medical examiners classify any deaths as Coronavirus deaths when the postmortem test is positive. Even people who died in suicides and automobile accidents meet that definition.”
– “The (CDC’s) rules direct them to do this.” Deborah Birx has acknowledged that “if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death.” This practice is not consistent with what other countries are doing, nor is it consistent with how CDC told localities to document causes of death before the Chinese virus appeared.
– Beyond that, Lott and Allen note that New York State “is classifying cases as Coronavirus deaths even when postmortem tests have been negative. Despite negative tests, classifications are based on symptoms, even though the symptoms are often very similar to those of the seasonal flu.” Further the CDC has “advise(d) doctors that “it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate” even if the virus’s involvement is only “suspected”! In April, apparently encouraged by this guidance, New York State added “3,700 additional people who were presumed to have died of the coronavirus but had never tested positive.” Even without evidence of positive tests, Johns Hopkins added these deaths to its Dashboard.
Lott’s and Allen’s bottom line: “Relying on these flawed numbers is destroying businesses and jobs and costing lives.” Johns Hopkins, despite hard evidence to the contrary, is dishonestly promoting that damaging reliance. The establishment press, by treating Johns Hopkins’s garbage figures as the undisputed truth with any hint of the many serious problems in the underlying data, is a willing accomplice in this dishonesty. (TGP)
When the curve began to fall significantly and cases were going away, the medical cartel lowered the standards, fraudulently mixing results from 2 different tests, and also began to include ‘probable cases’ – meaning 1 case could now easily mean 15 cases. A new confirmed case with the faulty PCR test now equals 16 (1 confirmed plus 15, on average probable cases). With the new standards, probable cases can also be counted as COVID-19 deaths. Rob Dew and Alex Jones break down a video from a county meeting where the new standards were discussed.
The far-left New York Times also reported in late June on the GAO’s report:
The report also criticized the C.D.C.’s counting of coronavirus tests, which combines tests for an active infection and those that detect antibodies. This practice inflates the percentage of Americans that appear to have been tested and gives an unreliable picture of the way the virus is spreading around the country, according to the new report. After the C.D.C. was criticized last month for combining the two types of tests in its reports, the agency promised to separate them. But as of June 9, it had still not resolved the issue, the office reported.
On May 21, 2020, the Atlantic reported that the CDC was over counting the number of cases of individuals with the China coronavirus by “mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.” The CDC continued co-mingling results. Forbes reported in late June:
A report released Thursday from the Government Accountability Office levied criticism at the CDC for combining active cases of the coronavirus and positive antibody tests, which may give a misleading view of nationwide testing and spread.
The CDC’s method of reporting the number of active cases is totally flawed. It is fraudulent. The CDC counts individuals who show that they had the China coronavirus in their counts of individuals who are identified currently with the virus. This data is then used by states to determine whether to open our shut down their economies.
BY INCLUDING BOTH ACTIVE CASES WITH CASES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD THE CHINA CORONAVIRUS IN THE PAST, THE CDC IS GROSSLY OVERSTATING THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE CASES IN THE US. UNFORTUNATELY, STATES LIKE TEXAS AND FLORIDA HAVE RESET THEIR ECONOMIC REOPENING TIME TABLES BASED ON THIS BOGUS DATA.
In addition, Fox News contributor and physician Nicole Saphier reported: Health officials from numerous states have mistakenly included positive results from antibody tests when reporting new COVID-19 cases to the CDC, grossly inflating new cases. The scientific equivalent to “double dipping.”
Emerald Robinson reported she is getting flooded with messages from people claiming they signed up for a COVID test and went to a testing site but left early because of long lines.
Despite not taking the test, they get notified later that they’ve tested positive.
