Socialist 'Lancet' Study Says 40 Percent of COVID Deaths in U.S. 'Unnecessary'
PJ Media ^ | 02/12/2021 | Rick Moran

A socialist critique of American society, American politics, American social policy, American wealth inequalities, American racial disparities, and most of all, the American health care system in The Lancet theorizes that 40 percent of deaths related to COVID-19 were “unnecessary.”

The surprising thing is that it’s probably all true — at least, from the point of view of a socialist. The upshot of the study is that America doesn’t spend enough money on the poor, we aren’t nice to people of color, there are too many filthy rich people, and we have allowed this decline over the last 40 years which has led to a reduced life span and all kinds of health problems we shouldn’t have — because we don’t spend enough public money on healthcare.

Because no socialist countries are having any of these problems, right?

Their critique of Trump’s response to the crisis leaves a lot out, but is generally accurate.

Yahoo News:

“Instead of galvanizing the US populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation,” read the report. “His refusal to develop a national strategy worsened shortages of personal protective equipment and diagnostic tests. President Trump politicized mask-wearing and school reopenings and convened indoor events attended by thousands, where masks were discouraged and physical distancing was impossible.”

When public health officials deemed “credible” by the mainstream media give wildly conflicting and contradictory advice to both policymakers and the public, who are people to believe?

Cuomo’s nursing home deaths are largely unnecessary.

Agree, if the medical establishment had allowed use of non vaccines as the solution, the deaths would be significantly lower.

It was not just HCQ, but many others. Including Ivermetin.

This whole thing with Covid19 is just a part of an ongoing Train Wreck aimed at the world. It is no accident.

It is Globalist driven suicide of the world.

Don’t forget that Her Stupendosity, Empress Whitmer did the same in Michigan...and I wouldn’t be shocked if she did a bit of coverup too...

You’re preaching to the choir.

Perhaps another angle to get the dumb masses attention would be the monetary angle. (You can’t get admitted to the hospital if you treat at home.)

For example, in July 2020 this (HCFMA) announcement:
Amount of assistance reduced
The new round will pay $50,000 per COVID-19 admission, compared with $77,000 in the earlier high-impact round.
As always, Follow the Money.

The Lancet is controlled by China. Its new headquarters is in Beijing.

Follow the money? Yes. And it reveals the real agenda. As well as exposing the leaches and criminals.

Socialist 'Lancet' Study Says 40 Percent of COVID Deaths in U.S. 'Unnecessary'

So the study says that the remaining 60 percent of COVID deaths in the U.S. were necessary?

Sheesh!

That they did: Lancet Retracts Hydroxychloroquine Study. Were the deaths that resulted from doctors believing them "unnecessary", you have to wonder?

— because we don’t spend enough public money on healthcare.

But the USA spends more than twice as much on health care than any other country in the world.
