What the CDC's website says will SHOCK you!

To be honest, finding the REAL health statistics these days isn’t always the easiest.  After a recent conversation with one of my family members, I tasked them with finding the REAL information on the CDC website, and they kicked and screamed that they couldn’t figure out how to navigate through the complicated website.  Well, folks, here is the link:

https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html

Hopefully, you too will find what my family member discovered.  The REAL statistics, NOT what you have been hearing endlessly on the news!  To be fair, the statistics lag a bit by a few weeks, but you can see what percentages have reported and compare 2019 to 2020 numbers very easily.

Notice, the situation just isn't as bad as we are being told!  I took a screenshot right from the CDC’s website showing the entire national mortality rate for the past (3) weeks and compared 2019 to 2020.  Look and see for yourselves:

In case you are reading this article on your hand-held device, and just see RED and GREEN blobs, these charts point out the following:

2019 (week 42 ending October 19, 2019):

Week 42 = 54,338 Total Deaths

Week 41 = 53,090 Total Deaths

Week 40 = 52,564 Total Deaths

2020 (week 42 ending October 17, 2020):

Week 42 = 54,550 Total Deaths

Week 41 = 50,995 Total Deaths

Week 40 = 52,934 Total Deaths

Do you see something strange in these numbers?  YES!  The Total Deaths reported for 2020 are VERY similar to those in 2019.  The National Summary of Total Deaths shown on the CDC website are not much different than last year!

To reinforce these statistics, please watch the video and read the report below.  It notes that, according to CDC published data, almost all deaths now listed as COVID-19 deaths were actually caused by other factors.

Specifically, of the approximately 220,000 COVID-19 deaths listed so far, almost 94% were likely not caused exclusively by COVID-19, but by other chronic illnesses. While many of these other maladies, such as a variety of respiratory illnesses, probably worked closely in conjunction with the coronavirus to kill the patient, other illnesses were clearly the real cause of death. For example, the CDC says the 51,000 of today’s 218,000 COVID-19 deaths were caused by heart attacks or heart failure, not COVID-19.

If we subtract these coronary deaths, we are left with about 167,000 COVID-19 deaths. The CDC notes that of these, 88,000 were probably caused not by the coronavirus but by the flu and pneumonia. Hospitals listed them as COVID-19 deaths because the CARES act passed by Congress in the spring gives those hospitals a 20% bonus if they claim the death was COVID-19. This fact might also explain the almost complete lack of flu deaths this year, as listed by hospitals.

Based on this data, it appears that the coronavirus probably caused about 79,000 deaths, on top of the 88,000 flu and pneumonia deaths this year. These Wuhan virus deaths are probably excess deaths this year, but with an average age of 78 the deaths are still occurring almost exclusively among the aged sick, rather than the general population. For everyone else, COVID-19 remains relatively harmless, like the flu.

Interestingly, the CDC recently reported that in 2020 the total number of excess deaths is presently estimated at 300,000. Most significantly, the CDC also stated that as of October 3rd, the report notes only 198,081 of those deaths are directly attributed to COVID-19. So over one-third of excess deaths so far this year have not been directly associated with COVID-19.

These numbers reasonably match with the numbers above. They also suggest strongly that the lock downs and house arrests and mask mandates might very well be causing many other unnecessary excess deaths, such as from suicides. The lock downs have also caused many unneeded deaths because patients did not get treatment for other illnesses when they should, either because hospitals were not allowed to provide them service (because of government edict) or because the patients were afraid to go to the hospital.

All told, the data continues to suggest that the panic over COVID-19 did more harm than good, especially because the early data, in March, was consistent with what we know now. Even then the data said the virus would be dangerous only to the elderly sick, but harmless to the young and healthy, just like the flu. Had our political and academic class been interested in that data, they would have allowed society to largely go on with life as normal, while instituting measures specifically aimed at protecting the elderly sick.

Instead, they did the exact opposite, and the evidence now tells us that those failed policies of panic killed many more people, for absolutely no reason.

So, TURN off your TV and stop listening to all the COVID news, and help yourself discover the REAL statistics.  It’s such an empowering feeling!

Have you ever gone on the CDC website to look at the REAL statistics before?  I’d love to hear your comments and insights.
