2022-03-19 Government Corruption
It was all lies, but the proles will be told it was an "honest mistake..."
[ZH] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed tens of thousands of deaths linked to COVID-19, including nearly a quarter of deaths it had listed in those under 18 years old.

The health agency quietly made the change on its data tracker website on March 15.

"Data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories," the CDC says on the site.

The CDC relies on states and other jurisdictions to report COVID-19 deaths and acknowledges on its website that the data is not complete.

But the statistics are often cited by doctors and others when pushing for COVID-19 vaccination, including figures who believe virtually all children should be vaccinated. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, cited the tracker’s death total in November 2021 while pushing for an expert panel to advise her agency to recommend vaccination for all children 5- to 11-years-old.

Before the change, the CDC listed 1,755 children as dying from COVID-19 along with approximately 851,000 others, according to Kelley Krohnert, a Georgia resident who has been tracking the updates.

The update saw the CDC cut 416 deaths among children and over 71,000 elsewhere, arriving at a total of just under 780,000.

The agency declined to provide a comment by deadline.

The CDC previously adjusted its death count in August 2021 "after the identification of a data discrepancy."

#1 

All of this and the many other lies will be remembered when the next Pandemic hits.

Thus any real data and actual working solutions will be suspect on even a greater level causing even greater deaths.

#2 At the end of the day, individual health is something that the individual has to look after individually. Collective approaches will always come up short. But collectivists gotta collectivize.

#3 I wonder what they suddenly need to cover up regarding these deaths.

#4 Probably they just figure now is the time to get it out there while everyone else is (supposedly) obsessed with Ukraine.

#7 I couldn't access the data linked by Zerohedge, so I went here:
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3
and found that in the 18 and under demographic, 1,078 have died of COVID from 1/4/2020 to 3/12/2022. Doing simple math on Zero's reported figures, 1,339 in that same demographic have died of COVID.
