Problem is the data. I don't trust the CDC or much of the 'data'. Too much vax money and control hungry politician involvement. That Ky elected another Beshear governor is beyond foolish...but that's another subject.

When hospitals are paid thousands more for each patient that dies from Covid, the data becomes highly suspect to me.

Also, the ever touted science has changed more times than my daughter on busy day of social obligations.

Hospitals aren't paid for COVID deaths, they're paid for COVID treatments; and rightly so, because all the needed ventilators, PPE, increased staffing costs etc. doesn't come cheap. And that ONLY applies to Medicare patients or people who are uninsured, not to people who have Medicaid or private health insurance.

As to hospitals faking COVID deaths - think of everything that would have to happen. The admins at the hospital would have to lie. The coroner would have to lie. The family would get a death certificate, and wouldn't raise a fuss if it said their loved one died with COVID when they didn't.

Much like the "stop the steal" movement - let's not let healthy skepticism override common sense.

There's actually a fair chance the COVID death rate is undercounted, rather than overcounted. But just look at the numbers - there's absolutely no doubt the unvaxxed are dying at a much higher rate than the vaxxed, and that Trump voters make up the greatest percentage of the unvaxxed.
