I saw this earlier and saw a lot of people posting it.
I have a background in statistics (a Six Sigma Blackbelt with GE).
My critical thinking skills kick in and I start questioning things. The numbers aren’t always the numbers – they can be very manipulated.
If they are testing everyone who goes to the hospital for covid, regardless of why they are there, are these covid only patients or are they in for something else and just happened to test positive for covid once they got to the hospital?
If they did test positive, is it an accurate positive or a false positive? What kind of test are they using? (the CDC even came out recently saying the PCR test should not be used).
Are the people on vents as a result of covid or are they on vents for other comorbidities and happen to have tested positive for covid once they got to the hospital.
If they were in for something else, why is their vaccine status important? Since vaccinated individuals can still contract and spread covid how important is it to report the vaccination status anyway? https://www.msn.com/…/cdc-report-shows…/ar-AAML2bE)?
Knowing that the hospital gets more money/reimbursement from medicare if someone is diagnosed with covid (even more if they are put on a vent), is there the propensity to want to flag people as covid? What are the checks and balances here?
Other great questions that came in on my facebook page:
“Some places are considering ‘vxnated ‘ as 2 weeks past 2nd shot. so if people were under 2 weeks with 2 shots or have only had one jab, all those people may have been in the unvxnated group numbers.”
“It would also be helpful to see how many of these patients are being discharged home in stable condition. We still seem to be forgetting that this thing has over a 99% survival rate.”
