Dr. Birx Believes Coronavirus Death Toll Inflated By Up To 25%

Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force response coordinator, believes some official COVID-19 statistics like death tolls may be inflated by up to 25%, a new report states.

Birx criticized the method the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was using to collect its data during a heated task force meeting, according to a report Saturday from The Washington Post.

“There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust,” Birx reportedly told CDC Director Robert Redfield.

Birx told The Post in a statement that “mortality is slowly declining each day,” and that the focus should be on protecting Americans who are older or have pre-existing health conditions that make them vulnerable to the virus.

Democrats have to get that death toll higher so they have something to hit President Trump over the head with during a Presidential Election year.

I heard that next winter, we are shutting the world economy again and forcing everyone in the United States to wear a slave collar to combat the spread of the common cold.

Slaves also wore masks.

The counter to this ANONMYOUS source, is that "excess deaths" are way up, so we are most likely under counting covid-19 deaths.

The Economist: Tracking covid-19 excess deaths across countries
CDC: Preliminary Estimate of Excess Mortality During the COVID-19 Outbreak — New York City, March 11–May 2, 2020

Dr. Birx and Redfield know about this, its their job. Real science during a crisis is messy. So naturally, the fake news takes what a looks like a problem, and uses it to create some fake drama.

That would be at best a limited hangout, by a longtime Fauci and Redfield collaborator desperate not to get kicked out of the White House power orbit.

Sounds like Scarfina is doing what she can to redeem her reputation before Redfield and Fauci are exposed for all the world to see. I’m not buying it; she was in as deep as the rest of them.

Any number that comes from a bureaucrat is adjusted in favor of their ABC group.

What happens if people refuse? A one way trip to a FEMA concentration camp? I figure the scum bags on the left, will keep a sharp eye out for us retired military folks. I know they don’t trust us.

I have trusted Dr. Birx from the beginning. She is not arrogant and she reeks of kindness. I knew in my spirit that she wanted to do the right thing in regard to what was unfolding. Anyone who knows what issues the CDC was pushing before all this hit has to have big questions about their political aims. Ditto for all other government institutions that have been around a long time without good watchdogs in the population and the media willing to audit their operations. Remember, most of the world has lived under the boot of dictators since the beginning of time. Our American experiment was going way too well to suit those in our own deep state who saw unending wealth and power for them if they could only begin turning back our freedoms to what existed before. The Oligarchs are NOT our protectors. I am to the place where I cannot restrain my own weeping when I think there is evidence that the cruel hoaxes which have gone on against our people and our system of governing will finally face some kind of justice. Hopefully, a judgment at least as painful as what their schemes brought against others who were innocent of their fake charges. The suffering they unleashed against the victims and against the American people just cannot be calculated. Only God knows and He will decide what the final judgment will be.

I don’t buy it either. She also pushed WHO numbers, knowing they kowtow to China. If she thinks she’ll get a pass, she is in for a rude awakening.

25% More in states that have a lot of patients. It's easier to call anything Covid-19 and more lucrative, too.

Reported routine deaths from common illnesses are way down
Kidney failure, lung infections, high blood pressure, heart attacks, cancer. Pneumonia can look like Wuhan virus, and an easy way to inflate Virus deaths, but were all those that died tested for Wuhan?

If they swab your mouth and nose, but don’t test your blood
its not valid to say you died of Wuhan. There is in a hospital virus in the air, but if your negative with a test
you may have died from Wuhan.

Most of those who died were ill before Wuhan. They have underlying conditions and average age of 79 years old.
Dems know how to pump up their vote totals. I don’t trust
the Dems to refrain from cheating.

See, even Dr. Beavis knows that counting suicides as COVID-19 deaths is NOT COOL!
