  "STORY AT-A-GLANCE
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and individual states are now backtracking on their COVID death statistics, showing those of us who claimed deaths were being over counted were right all along

    March 14, 2022, the CDC removed 72,277 COVID deaths from the tally, including 24% of those attributed to children under 18.


They claim a “coding logic error,” a faulty algorithm, had “accidentally” counted deaths that weren’t related to COVID, such as drowning deaths and drug overdoses

    The CDC used the false death statistics among children to push for COVID shots for 5- to 7-year-olds back in November 2021

    As of February 2, 2022, the U.S. Health and Human Services is no longer collecting data on hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19

    Deaths were initially exaggerated for political — both national and geopolitical — purposes, and now they’re being downplayed for the same reason. Democrats know they cannot win in the midterms unless they declare victory over COVID-19

For the past two years, I and many others have detailed the ways in which COVID-19 deaths have been over counted to create the illusion of the pandemic being far worse than it actually is.

Now, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and individual states are backtracking on their death statistics, showing we were right all along.

Deaths were initially exaggerated for political purposes, and now they’re being downplayed for the same reason.

CDC Removes More Than 72,000 COVID Deaths

As reported by The Defender,1 March 14, 2022, the CDC had removed 72,277 “COVID deaths” from the tally, including 24% of those attributed to children under 18.

They claim a “coding logic error,” a faulty algorithm, had “accidentally” counted deaths that weren’t related to COVID.

As reported by Udumbara:
   “Some of the pediatric deaths attributed to COVID-19, according to a search of the CDC’s Wonder system, include deaths where drowning or drug use was listed as the primary cause of death.”

Meanwhile, the CDC used the false death statistics among children to push for COVID shots for 5- to 7-year-olds.

In November 2021, CDC director Rochelle Walensky cited that data to justify the recommendation to issue emergency use authorization for the Pfizer shot for this age group.

Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that it took the CDC two years to realize this error.

It’s simply not believable, and The Epoch Times has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for internal communications relating to the data change.

Ironically, the adjustment comes on the heels of fact-checking articles “debunking” claims that COVID deaths have been over counted.

For example, in early March, Health Feedback claimed there’s “no evidence COVID deaths have been over counted,”

and that “the evidence suggests the opposite.”

Yet here we are. Deaths were clearly over ounted, not under counted. That fact check didn’t age well. ... "
