“When I’m writing up my death report I’m being pressured to add COVID. Why is that? Why are we being pressured to add COVID? To maybe increase the numbers, and make it look a little bit worse than it is. We’re being pressured in-house to add COVID to the diagnostic list when we think it has nothing to do with the actual cause of death. The actual cause of death was not COVID, but it’s being reported as one of the diseases processes. … COVID didn’t kill them, 25 years of tobacco use killed.”
That’s a quote from Dr. Dan Erickson, reprinted in the Washington Times. You should read the whole article.
We should ask why. In fact, the question “Cui bono?” (Who benefits?) is an excellent question to add, as it usually is.
Is this just about greedy hospital administrators taking advantage of an opportunity? Hardly.
We have not even begun to ask cui bono, yet. This overblown police state solution to an over-hyped crisis hurts specific parties, and benefits specific parties. You’ll never understand what is happening and why unless you are curious and intelligent enough to think that through.
