Public COVIDiocy: Coroner Admits He Did Not Declare a SINGLE person Dead of COVID in 2021

The following quote is from USA Today:

In Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, coroner Wavis Jordan said his office “doesn’t do COVID deaths.” Jordan does not investigate deaths himself. He requires families to provide proof of a positive coronavirus test before including it on a death certificate.

In 2021, he hasn’t pronounced a single person dead from COVID-19 in the 80,000-person county.

This sort of underreporting is most prevalent in the heavily Red (Republican) areas such as the South. 

Experts estimate that the current US Death Statistics are probably off by as much as 20%. 

At this moment, it's at 871K. If it's under by 20%, it'd be already over a MILLION deaths in two years. 

Which makes the death rate at 1.385%, instead of 1.2% as it stands right now. 

That makes it time to point out the raw number of deaths vs death rate. 

Right now, the state with the most COVID deaths is California, followed by Texas and Florida. 

However, that's raw numbers. What about deaths per population?  

FWIW, the worst death rate is Mississippi (360 per 100K), followed by Arizona (352) and New Jersey (346). 

California at 199 is well below Florida (297) and Texas (269). 

Best? Hawaii, at 81. But remember, Hawaii requires either a negative test within 72 hours of arrival or spending 5 days in self-quarantine. And they can do that because they can check everybody at the airport. And if you choose to break quarantine anyway? You'd be subject to arrest. 

Do you see any anti-vaxxers screaming about their "freedom" in Hawaii?

School COVIDiocy: Are School Reopening Based on Garbage Data Entered By Antivaxxers?

School opening, mask mandate in schools, and vaccine mandate are the current hot topics, and while the path forward is obvious: mask those who can't get vaccinated yet, and vaccinate everyone who can be vaccinated like we did for most childhood diseases, many states are attempting to OUTLAWING vaccine mandates... Even for schools. 

Then there are parents who complain... It's easier to show you the tweet.  

STOP TESTING YOUR CHILDREN WITH MILD COLD SYMPTOMS. Every time you do, you lock other perfectly healthy children out of the classroom in blue areas. My kids need school. I work, I need them in school. Testing and notifying the school makes you an ASSHOLE, not a hero.

— Jenny Erikson (@JennyErikson) January 26, 2022

Translation: How DARE you care about your children's symptoms and care about your community and report possible signs of COVID! My going back to work is more important than the community! It's must be the mild sniffles even though I've never seen your child and I'm definitely not a doctor! 

So who'd advocate for going back to school? One Dr. Tracy Hoeg, who sometimes presents herself as a researcher at UC Davis. She claims that COVID vaccines actually hurt more kids than it helped due to myocarditis side effect with a paper written back in 2021. 

Unfortunately, the paper is a demonstration of VAERS dumpster diving which we've previously discussed. it's so bad, I'm going to let SkepticalRaptor explain it in more detail than I could. 

It should also be noted that Dr. Tracy Hoeg has done no work in epidemiology UNTIL COVID, despite a PhD degree in epidemiology from the University of Copenhagen. Her residency is in sports medicine and physical therapy. 

This is a clarification from the UC Davis PA office:

Please keep in mind that VAERS is not the only system monitoring vaccine safety. As pointed out by SkepticalRaptor, VSD (vaccine safety datalink) did not show myocarditis incidence rates like VAERS. As an MD, surely Hoeg and her co-writers have access to VSD data. So why did they choose to cite VAERS alone, when they know the numbers in there cannot be relied upon for cause and effect? 

Some cherry-picking indeed. 

But there's something else you did not know. VAERS data was probably polluted by TENS OF THOUSANDS of false submissions. 

Here's example of VAERS bullcrap

CDC saw 23,713 reports of Myocarditis in kids

A team of CDC Physicians and Pediatric Cardiologists investigated every one

Only 303 were valid. The other 23,410 were FALSE REPORTS

6792 came from same IP addresshttps://t.co/PN7SRpRjxO

— Patti Cakes, DNSc, MSN, RN, PhD, CRNP (@PLHartungRN) January 17, 2022

Yep, you read it right. Out of 23713 reports of myocarditis in kids, only 303 are real and verified. In later tweets, she replied that many of these reports did not even include proper information such as COVID symptoms, what grade is the child in, or what ethnicity the child is. 

We tried to ask Patti Cakes how did she know 6792 came from the same IP address, she later replied that Pfizer's IT team went through the log with CDC and determined that. Unfortunately, we have no log to inspect ourselves, but I don't really have any reason to doubt her. 

So basically, Hoeg was testifying to Congress something based on bogus information... entered by probably antivaxxers. (who else would make up myocarditis kids and submit them to VAERS?) Given that as an MD, she should know about double-checking VAERS unreliable data with VSD and other sources, one wonders whether she's complicit in the bogosity, or simply turning a blind eye and enjoying her time in the limelight. 

To put it frankly, it is VERY likely that any rationale to get kids back into school is based on flawed and bad data. 

And sending the children back WITHOUT masks or vaccine is frankly, gambling with public lives, betting "symptoms will be mild and manageable", never mind the Hippocratic Oath... "do no harm".

Don't be a COVIDiot... or worse, an entitled COVIDiot. 

School Meeting COVIDiocy: Viriginia Woman Threatened to "bring every single gun loaded and ready" To School Over Mask Mandate

While knowing she was being recorded, Amelia King, in front of Luray, Virginia school board told everyone that she would "bring every single gun loaded and ready" on Monday with her maskless child. Then she was cut off as her 3 minutes were up. She left with "I will see you all Monday". 

As you can guess, she's upset that the school would DARE mandate that everyone mask up. But threaten to bring guns, really? 

WTF... 

Police did not think this was a joke. Local police charged her with making an oral threat on school property, and Ms. King was released on $5000 bond. According to the police chief, she was remorseful as she realized what she had said after leaving and was very apologetic. 

Police, with help of county Sheriff's Office, will provide extra patrols for the schools coming Monday, as a precaution. 

The situation is NOT helped by Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin, who had issued an executive order ("executive order number two") on his first day in office, supposedly giving parents the authority to ignore school mask mandates, and it will go into effect on January 24th. 

But many schools and school districts said they are NOT going to accept any opt-outs by parents. They claim that state law (Virginia Senate Bill 1303) says they have to follow CDC guidelines, and CDC guidelines say indoor masking should be done. And thus, the governor has no power to order them to ignore state law. 

More than a dozen parents are suing the governor over "executive order number two", and the Virginia Attorney General has already asked the state Supreme Court to dismiss the lawsuit as it "affirm(s) that parents matter". 

Astroturfing COVIDiocy: Seems Antivaxxers Submitted 23410 FAKE cases of Myocarditis from COVID vaccines in kids to VAERS

As of December 31st, 2021, there were supposedly 23713 reports of myocarditis in children / young adult after Pfizer vaccines were reported to VAERS. It's interesting that in a majority of cases, no race or ethnicity was listed. 

So a team of pediatricians both in and out of CDC checked every single case. 

Turns out only 303 are real (265 12-15yr old) out of over 27 MILLION doses given out to those age groups during that time. 

Basically, there is no risk at all. Myocarditis occurs at or above this rate without COVID or vaccination. 

You can read their report here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2022-01-05/02-COVID-Su-508.pdf

Which sort of begs the question... who, besides anti-vaxxers, have time to flood VAERS with 23410 FAKE reports of myocarditis in kids as a side effect of COVID vaccine? 

And did they really think that real doctors would not want to follow up, if there are indeed that many reported problems? 

Who did they think they were fooling? 

Sports COVIDiocy: Novak Djokovic To Be Sent Home After Being Denied Entry to Australia

Novak Djokovic, 9-time Grand Slam Tennis winner and defending champion, was due to play at the Australian Open, the first major Tennis tournament of 2022. However, he's stuck at Australian Tullamarine Airport, for the city of Melbourne. The current news was his team had applied for the wrong visa to enter Australia with a COVID exemption. Latest news is he's been deported from Australia and will not play at all. 

Australia has some of the toughest entry restrictions and had managed to keep the COVID death rates among the lowest in Western countries. 

According to Australia Open officials, only 26 people connected with the tournament had applied for a medical exemption from the "you must be fully vaccinated" to even enter the grounds for the Australian Open. That includes players, staff, officials, AND fans. And only a "handful" medical exemptions were granted.

Every application for vaccine exemption will be examined by two independent panel of experts. Some of the reasons allowed includes major acute medical conditions that preclude being vaccinated, documented adverse reactions to prior dose of COVID vaccine, or documented COVID infection within last 6 months. 

According to Australian Prime Minister Morrison, Australian Border force has the final decision on who to let through the borders. The Australian Open officials may allow Djokovic to play, and Victorian Government (who hosts the Australian Open) may allow him onto the grounds, that still depends on whether Djokovic will be allowed into the country. And looks like he's been denied. He was given a temporary reprieve, as a court will have to formally deport him, and that has been adjourned until Monday. He had been deported after a decision was made final. 

In the meanwhile, he'd been dubbed #novaxdjokovic

Serbian President has vowed to protest the "harassment" of their star tennis player. 

Supporters of the state did not like seeing ANY exemptions given out, as that screams of "special treatment", while supporters of Djokovic called the Border Force conduct "disgraceful" and worse. 

So where's the disconnect? 

Border Force explanation was that Djokovic's team applied for the wrong visa with the medical exemption he claimed. But that is sufficient reason to deport him? Or can the application be amended? 

Did Djokovic get on the airplane with understanding that he'll be let in? Or did he just flew in, counting on public pressure to force the Aussies to give in? 

And why doesn't Djokovic just explain why he needs a medical exemption? Does he even need one? 

But it seems that the noose may be tightening, with both Spain and France announcing their any professional athletes or even the audience MUST be vaccinated against COVID to even attend, muchless participate, in April, and May later this year. 

Sad COVIDiocy: Unvaxxed British Young Pregnant Woman Killed by COVID-induced Stroke

Sadie, 24, was 29 weeks pregnant when she caught COVID. She was not vaxxed. She was pronounced brain dead on December 3rd, 2021 due to a brain hemorrhage caused by COVID blood clot. Her baby was saved via emergency C-section. 

Sadie's father, David, said his daughter had a "hunky dory" pregnancy until she started developing migraines and chest pain. She was diagnosed with a blood clot in her lung in October. Doctors sent her home with blood-thinning medication. 

Sadie caught COVID in November, but was mostly asymptomatic. 

On the morning of December 2nd, Sadie found herself paralyzed on one side. A blood clot had traveled to her brain, causing a full-on stroke. She was transported by ambulance to the hospital. 

Sadie died the next day. She is survived by the newborn, Eliot, and two-year-old daughter Harper. 

It is very likely that had she been vaxxed, she may still be with us today. That was the opinion of the folks in the hospital. 

Florida COVIDiocy: FL Surgeon General Ladapo Wants to Unwind COVID Testing while Speaking at Podium with Sign "Early Treatment Saves Lives"

I originally thought that DeSantis' Republican anti-health lunacy is limited to himself. Seems he has found a partner in his Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo. 

Dr. Ladapo, while standing in at a lectern with a sign "Early Treatment Saves Lives", talked about how he will "unwind the testing psychology" of the Federal government. 

❓Just how exactly will you do early treatment without early testing? ❓

Keep in mind, Florida is begging / demanding the Federal government for more monoclonal antibodies for treatment because Florida has seen DOUBLE the people hospitalized for COVID (5700 vs 2406), from the previous week, as well as more than double the number of new COVID cases (from 128K to 298K). 

What's really disturbing, however, is Ladapo's emphasis that the guidance "doesn’t restrict access to testing, but reduces the use of low-value testing and prioritizes high-value testing."

❓So who determines what's high-value and what's low-value? ❓

Then DeSantis chimed in about how younger folks should not come in and hog up all the monoclonal antibodies treatment and save them for the seniors. He said literally: 

“It’s basically cold-like symptoms for a lot of those folks. That is not something you need to be coming in and getting monoclonals for. So, let’s look at our elderly population. Let’s look at folks that are immunocompromised or maybe things like diabetes that have shown to be a real serious risk factor,”

Wait, so the young folks who probably don't need them, are hogging all the monoclonal antibodies treatments? ❓

❓Is that why DeSantis are demanding more doses from the Feds? Because he wasted them due to him ignoring Federal testing policies, vaccine mandates, and mask mandates?❓ 

But consider this: by limiting the number of tests, DeSantis can claim he has fewer positive cases. 

Wouldn't stop the hospitalization from increasing, of course. 

But "high quality testing" is a playbook out of the Great Barrington Declaration. And indeed, Ladapo is a signatory of the GBD. Keep in mind that Ladapo is a cardiovascular physician. He has no training or expertise in epidemiology, virology, or even infectious diseases. He was even at one time among the voices of HQL and IVM pimps. 

What's REALLY out of touch? Florida's Department of Health tweeted on Christmas Day that "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"

Please keep in mind that singing requires you to breathe WITHOUT any mask on. And if you are carrying the virus (with or without symptoms) you will be spreading it far and wide, potentially infecting lots of people. 

It's been documented that even two doors that briefly opened together are enough to pass COVID, according to a New Zealand quarantine facility contact tracing. The two groups were separated across a hallway at a quarantine hotel. The two groups never came into contact with one another, except for a brief period where one side opened their door, then the other side also did. There were only a few seconds of overlap, but it was enough. 

It was clear that Florida Department of Health has turned into the Department of ANTI-Health, with "leadership" from not just one, but two death-dealers. 

Not only do they openly fight Federal attempts to fight the disease, but they also want Federal help to save the victims of their own efforts.  

And it's only going to get worse.
