With @davidjshipley the @washingtonpost has turned into bizarro world. There is absolutely no proof that we're grossly over-counting #COVID deaths, but the paper under @SallyBuzbee is all-in on this nonsense. WaPo has lost its way on the facts alone. https://bit.ly/3XQ5Mpr
WaPo Feeds Denial With False Claims About Overcounting Covid Deaths - FAIR

Medical commentator Leana Wen wants us to believe that society has overcounted Covid deaths and hospitalizations.

FAIR
@gregggonsalves if anything we are undercounting. Anecdotal but my neighbor’s 80 something year old mother died of Covid. But the family are trumpers so never tested, not hospitalized, died at home and it was attributed to old age. How many nursing home deaths are similarly uncounted? How many heart attacks after Covid? And strokes?
@gregggonsalves
Actually to the contrary the World Health Organization says that the Covid death tolls in America is closer to DOUBLE that of the official count. This is because the Trump administration early on stopped the reporting to the CDC and had it sent directly to the White House. Also Republican Governors in Red States hide actual numbers from their constituents! We may never know the actual Covid death count here in America! THIS is so WRONG in so many ways! 🤦🤨
@SDK_Resists @gregggonsalves Excess mortality can not be hidden and speaks its own, clear language. It's just not very precise.
@gregggonsalves Leana Wen's columns are the reason I cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post. It's totally unconscionable for Shipley to publish her.
