This is amazing! The Trump playbook…. Books and education make you stupid! The smart people just go with their gut!
Just popped in to say you're lying again about this video from 2021.
SMH at you spreading more misinformation without fact-checking it first. You are shameless.
DC Draino is a POS lying troll and so are you for continually posting anti-public health half-truths because you're mad that Trump lost. The over-estimation was for ALL ages, not just children and was simply due to an algorithm that they corrected. Remember, they receive mountains of data from various sources and so it's inevitable that some of it needs to be parsed as more information becomes available. Would it have been better for them not to adjust the numbers?

CDC coding error led to overcount of 72,000 Covid deaths
Calls for agency to communicate clearly and transparently after error, corrected last week, inadvertently added deaths to trackerwww.theguardian.com

I wasn't trying to justify the mistakes, just pushing back against Growls' half-truths stating the numbers were only skewed for children and then extrapolating that into a larger intentional conspiracy about masks, mandates and money-making. They did correct the numbers when they discovered the flaw though.This is all very confidence inspiring:
“because CDC’s algorithm was accidentally counting deaths that were not Covid-19-related”
"One data field asks if a person died “from illness/complications of illness,” and the field next to this asks for the date of death. When the answer is yes, then the date of death should be provided.
But a problem apparently arose if a respondent included the date of death in this field even when the answer was “no” or “unknown”. The CDC’s system assumed that if a date was provided, then the “no” or “unknown” answer was an error, and the system switched the answer to “yes”."
So in some cases, just checking yes for "from illness/complications of illness" triggered a Covid death (seperate from the algo issue that was corrected). What if it was a different illness? What if they had complications because they were a terminal cancer patient with a weakened immune system?
“It’s really hard to get accurate numbers,” said Glen Nowak, a former director of media relations at the CDC and co-director of the Center for Health & Risk Communication at the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “It’s not just with Covid – it happens with pretty much any infectious disease or even foodborne illnesses and waterborne illnesses, where there’s a large outbreak.”
And my favorite:
There are a few reasons for that. Healthcare providers usually report the initial data, but treating patients is a more pressing priority. Death certificates take time to complete, and the cause of death may be subject to political pressure or difficulty determining the underlying reason or reasons.
The flaw was a feature, not a mistake.I wasn't trying to justify the mistakes, just pushing back against Growls' half-truths stating the numbers were only skewed for children and then extrapolating that into a larger intentional conspiracy about masks, mandates and money-making.
