This is one of those transparently obvious issues that everyone knows, yet the media and others have a vested interest to deny. The COVID-attributed death toll in Alameda County, California, is being lowered by 25% after a review of “cause of death” certificates and records.
There are thousands of examples of manipulated COVID fatality records all over the world and specifically inside the U.S. In addition to their being a profound difference between dying *with* COVID as opposed to dying *from* COVID, there were/are a litany of incentives to mislabel and misidentify the cause of death within health records.
Quite simply as part of the overall hype behind the COVID threat the local, state and federal recording system was intentionally constructed to generate over-recording of COVID mortality rates. Even the annual death rate from the regularly occurring flu just vanished over the past year as almost every fatality was labeled a COVID death.
Yes, there were people who died specifically as an outcome of COVID respiratory infections. Yes, there were people with pre-existing conditions that made them more susceptible to the respiratory illness; however, that number is stunningly lower than what the CDC has assembled and attributed to COVID. The ground-up reporting was simply based on false attribution; and financial incentives for those diagnoses was a major part of the problem.
CALIFORNIA – A quarter of all deaths previously attributed to COVID-19 in Alameda County weren’t actually caused by the coronavirus, the Alameda County Public Health Department announced today.
That puts the county’s new official COVID-19 death toll at 1,223, down from 1,634. The 25% decrease—or 411 cases—is due to the fact that COVID “wasn’t a direct cause” of death in these cases, according to county health officials.
“There are definitely people who died from reasons that were clearly not caused by COVID,”said Neetu Balram, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Public Health Department. Balram couldn’t give specifics about the true cause of death for the 411 people removed from the COVID-19 data, but she said the cases were identified after reviewing codes entered by county coroners into CalREDIE, the state’s database for disease reporting and surveillance.

This issue was one of the early problems with the COVID hype. Early in the reporting President Trump stated the hype of the threat was “a hoax” being pushed by some in the healthcare community and mainstream media. Immediately that comment by President Trump was politically weaponized by those with a vested interest in using the COVID narrative to undermine the Trump administration.
President Trump was painted into a corner, mostly by media and political opposition by those who wanted to see him removed. COVID was hyped, the systems were all designed to support that hype… and the narrative engineers were off to the races.
It’s doubtful that history will adequately reflect just how fraudulent the hype of the COVID-19 pandemic was in relation to the risk of the SARS virus to health people because those who created the narrative have a vested interest in retaining their prior positions. However, that doesn’t mean the reality of the threat is different, it only means the Potemkin village will remain visible for those who really do an honest assessment.
In the final analysis the hypocrisy everyone has noticed isn’t really hypocrisy; it is more akin to the reality of officials in charge of the government response visibly acting in ways to show they knew the severity of threat was based on lies. Nothing more…
Amateurs. The proper term is “unexpectedly.”
This was an excellent analysis. Thank you.
Around here everyone is saying the covid cured the flu AND denge fever. Almost every death is attributed to COVID 19 (said with loud announcer voice.) It the excuse they need to:
* instill fear
* Enforce compliance to the “proticols” and to remove offical adherence to the laws concerning human rights.
* Destroy the economies and allow chynuh to take over.
* One belt one road. All is chynuh. Everyone bow.
“The COVID-attributed death toll in Alameda County, California, is being lowered by 25% after a review of “cause of death” certificates and records.”
Just wondering. Will the left use this to defend Fauci and this Faucism?
“See, even if he funded gain-of-function research on this virus in China, we are now finding it wasn’t really that bad. In fact, Fauci is a hero for asking for this research long before someone ate bat soup. Without his funding, we wouldn’t have known nearly as much as we do now.” – swoon
It’s all turning around like the 2020 Election!!!
Trump’s coming back with a Vengeance! MAGA …Never LEF
The question is “Why now?” Why is it acceptable now to admit that authorities were inflating Covid deaths from the start? That wouldn’t have anything to do with the trove of emails that were recently made public showing that Anthony Fauci and others were engaged in gain of function experiments, that they have been lying to the public for over a year about what they knew about Covid’s origin and release from the Wuhan virology lab and NIH complicity in unleashing a pandemic on the world, would it?
If we now minimize the number of Covid deaths, then that minimizes the (criminal?) culpability of Fauci and company. It is the left’s way of absolving one of their own.
The democrats are watching the municipal elections, which are occurring across the US, at this time. It is not going well at the grassroots level, where one is not supposed to be able ID party affiliations….guess what, the voters have sorted it out.
Part Conventions and Primaries are around corner, for the 2022 elections.
The demo-commies moved too soon and “violently” to stick the knife in the back of their Republican neverTrump allies, from 2020, to hasten their destruction.
Agreed, they know Fauci is going down and they don’t want to go with him. Once the lab leak story gains traction, people with dead relatives and bankrupt businesses are going to want many people’s heads on a platter.
Yes, but will the people realize that viruses don’t cause disease? That’s the ruse – the WHY of getting sick. You get sick form eating, drinking, thinking improperly – to use a quote from Dr. Robert O. Young.
So even back during the “Spanish Flu” – they were PSYOP-ing the population.
OANN broke the story last year, only 6% of deaths were FROM covid (no doubt NONE offered treatment other than ventilators). My elderly neighbor survived given HCQ, but family had to insist he be given it.
I had a friend who died from a heart attack during the lockdown. IMO, the stressful effects & fear of losing her business, the abusive people she lived with all took it’s toll on her health. I can’t prove she’d be alive today if not for being lockdown and tagged as “non essential” by an abusive govt, but how many more like her? Those deaths will be ignored.
My brother is a school teacher and his school is having serious issues figuring out what to do w/the kids that were essentially in solitary confinement compared to those that still had somewhat of an active and social interacting life during the lockdown. He said there is night and day difference between the two and you can immediately tell right off who had been damaged and who hadn’t. Very sad stuff, millions have been harmed in some form or another because of these power hungry freaks.
I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
Ty, and prayers for your brother as he deals with the damage done to kids which will haunt this country for years to come. Fauci’s evil is truly breathtaking.
He HAD ONE JOB to know, as in any epidemic or pandemic, that:
*you don’t quarantine healthy populations.
*asymptomatic people are not sick,& not infectious whether they test positive or not
* surgical & cloth masks don’t screen out viruses
*social distancing between perfectly healthy people is stupid
*there never was any reason to shut down any bourgeois (middle class) business while leaving those of the oligarch class open.
*Kids were never a threat to anyone’s health, and classrooms were one of the safest places for kids and their teachers.
Proper ventilation is the key for people to be aware of which is why there was no significant loss in homeless population. Even on airlines, the threat of illness was the same as any virus season. This was never mentioned either.
I agree with everything HEIDI said,and want to add that children are amazingly resilient.
Let them go back to some semblance of normal and they will respond and thrive. If any are going to have trouble finding their way back it will be the High School kids. Just my opinion but younger folks adapt much better.
Funny you mention high school, that is what he teaches. Time will tell how it all turns out. Same w/healthcare, lately I have not been impressed w/what is being hired of the younger generation. It is downright scary actually.
Good job calling this out. Yesterday I tried for an hour to round up official deaths around the globe in 2020. I found one place that had the info readily available – everywhere else was a bunch of beating around the bush – impossible to wade through menus of data. Even on google, the pre-populated search “global deaths 2020” showed that I’m not the only one looking for it, yet there is next to no data that is forthcoming or easy to find.
Maybe someone who is more familiar with these stats sites will have better luck? Seriously, give it a shot and see what you can pull up.
My conclusion was I was going to have to type in each country individually, and then compare it to each year individually – a monumental task.
Try:https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ But countries have been know to lie about health stats. Note total deaths for China per example.

25%.
Right..
Drop it to 75% and truth is closer.
Dr. Bix said 50-95 % miss diagnosed … 25% is good start, at least removing co-morbidity cases.
Now lets look at the 5-7x multiplier recommended by the CDC in March 2019, “to allow for contact spreading”.
Then there is outright use of wide open symptoms similar to every thing from sneezing in dusty room to any real virus, only to declare cases, with no testing.
Of course we cannot forget the out and purposely miss-attributed cases, as we know the CDC has stopped collecting data during flu and cold season as well as China virus causes all.
Then the favorite of many here on CTH, the unscientific and improper use of test kits.
March 24, 2020: CDC issues new Covid death code and instructions for filling out death certificates.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf
Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?
COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II. (See attached Guidance for Certifying COVID-19 Deaths)
What happens if the terms reported on the death certificate indicate uncertainty?
If the death certificate reports terms such as “probable COVID-19” or “likely COVID-19,” these terms would be assigned the new ICD code. It Is not likely that NCHS will follow up on these cases.
https://nationalfile.com/busted-cdc-inflated-covid-numbers-accused-of-violating-federal-law/
““On March 24th the CDC published the NVSS COVID-19 Alert No. 2 document instructing medical examiners, coroners and physicians to deemphasize underlying causes of death, also referred to as pre-existing conditions or comorbidities, by recording them in Part II rather than Part I of death certificates as “…the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause of death more often than not.” This was a major rule change for death certificate reporting from the CDC’s 2003 Coroners’ Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting and Physicians’ Handbook on Medical Certification of Death, which have instructed death reporting professionals nationwide to report underlying conditions in Part I for the previous 17 years. This single change resulted in a significant inflation of COVID-19 fatalities by instructing that COVID-19 be listed in Part I of death certificates as a definitive cause of death regardless of confirmatory evidence, rather than listed in Part II as a contributor to death in the presence of pre-existing conditions, as would have been done using the 2003 guidelines. The research draws attention to this key distinction as it has led to a significant inflation in COVID fatality totals. By the researcher’s estimates, COVID-19 recorded fatalities are inflated nationwide by as much as 1600% above what they would be had the CDC used the 2003 handbooks,” stated All Concerned Citizens.
““Then on April 14th, the CDC adopted additional rules exclusive for COVID-19 in violation of federal law by outsourcing data collection rule development to the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), a non-profit entity, again without applying for oversight and opening opportunity for public scientific review. On April 5th the CSTE published a position paper Standardized surveillance case definition and national notification for 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) listing 5 CDC employees as subject matter experts. This key document created new rules for counting probable cases as actual cases without definitive proof of infection (section VII.A1 – pages 4 & 5), new rules for contact tracing allowing contact tracers to practice medicine without a license (section VII.A3 – page 5), and yet refused to define new rules for ensuring that the same person could not be counted multiple times as a new case (section VII.B – page 7),” stated All Concerned Citizens.
““By enacting these new rules exclusively for COVID-19 in violation of federal law, the research alleges that the CDC significantly inflated data that has been used by elected officials and public health officials, in conjunction with unproven projection models from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), to justify extended closures for schools, places of worship, entertainment, and small businesses leading to unprecedented emotional and economic hardships nationwide. A formal petition has been sent to the Department of Justice as well as all US Attorneys seeking an immediate grand jury investigation into these allegations,” All Concerned Citizens stated.”

“FOX 35 INVESTIGATES: Questions raised after fatal motorcycle crash listed as COVID-19 death
Danielle Lama5 days ago
Crash victim reported as COVID-19 death
“A person who died in a motorcycle accident was added to Florida’s COVID-19 death count, according to a state health official.
“ORLANDO, Fla. – (UPDATE) On Saturday, Kent Donahue, from Dr. Pino’s office, said the motorcyclist’s death “was reviewed and he was taken off the list for COVID fatalities.”
“Two days after a FOX 35 investigation, health officials confirm that a motorcycle death that was initially counted among COVID-19 fatalities has been removed from the state’s data.
“A spokesman for the Florida Department of Health in Orange County said it was reviewed and removed, but he didn’t know exactly when.
“FOX 35 began investigating this on Thursday after Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino said that a man who had coronavirus but died in a motorcycle crash had been added to the COVID death data.
“At the time, he said he had asked the state to remove it from its numbers, but he didn’t know if it ever was.
“After reporting on this Thursday and Friday, officials notified FOX 35 on Saturday that they verified the death is no longer being counted.“
thank you! great read!
Q: Are the hospitals and other healthcare providers who received Covid incentive funds for these patients going to refund the money for the cases that have been reversed?
No way.
Nailing a motorcycle crash on Covid was by far one of the craziest stories.
With this logic George Floyd also died of COVID19. I wonder if Chauvin’s attorney was informed?
Hmmmm, so they wanted to increase the death toll for Covid 19 for some political reasons?
Is that why Governor Cuomo sent sick patients to the nursing homes instead of using the empty hospital ship that Trump sent him? And he wasn’t the only governor who did this. They must have received their instructions from on high. But who, and for what reason?
How did we get to this place where so much evil prevails?
Remember when Florida started questioning recorded CCP Virus deaths due to suicides, vehicle accidents, massive coronaries, stage 4 cancer … even homicides and the press condemned the Florida Health Department for reviewing ME’s diagnosis’ and overturning the cause of death?
I would venture to say there are a lot more than 25% of deaths reported in each state not associated with the CCP Virus. Not when hospitals were paid $19k to hospitalize a CCP Virus patient and $39k if they were put on a ventilator.
The Flu was eradicated in favor of CCP Virus diagnosis and almighty dollar.
No WONDER Dr. Birx almost always wore a scarf around her neck!
I binge watched Chernobyl last night.
The parallels are striking
C-19 is Chinas Chernobyl
Absolutely and a great series. The Russians were darn good at cover-up also. Only 31 registered as immediate deaths of the disaster.
Still laughing at that one……..
31 deaths from Chernobyl? Maybe it was faked just like all the other B.S. they foist upon us as true?
See Miles W. Mathis’ ammoon.pdf (mileswmathis.com) for a little insight into the Chernobyl incident and other nuclear papers.
Cause of Death
Fauci et al ignoring treatments and hyping Faxines.
How many people died simply because they were told to go home and wait till the virus filled their bodies so completely that death was inevitable?
this Is all so sick and unbelievable. As Americans, most of us just assumed the people we elected were acting on our own behalf. We assumed wrong. For decades our govt has been robbing us blind while we enjoyed the blessings of living in this great country. We let them mind the store. We trusted them. We failed. I hope we are all awake now. The American Revolution has never ended. The rest of the world hates our freedom. We have to get up every day and fight like hell to protect our country. There is no skirmish NOT worth fighting for. Every leftist word, comment, settled science, etc. no matter how small, needs to be called out and rejected on the spot. This is our life moving forward. We fight. Forever or we perish.
The solution is self-governance.

Hospitals were compliant due the Benjamin’s money walks money talks
So are they (whoever that is) going to claw back the money awarded to the hospitals for treatment of Covid-19 cases?
Johns Hopkins University Reveals Manipulated Covid Death Figures https://www.sott.net/article/444898-Johns-Hopkins-University-Reveals-Manipulated-Covid-Death-Figures “The total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19. This suggests, according to Briand, that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading. Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19. The CDC classified all deaths that are related to COVID-19 simply as COVID-19 deaths. Even patients dying from other underlying diseases but are infected with COVID-19 count as COVID-19 deaths. This is likely the main explanation as to why COVID-19 deaths drastically increased while deaths by all other diseases experienced a significant decrease. All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary,” Briand concluded.
Ex-Pfizer Chief Science Officer, Dr. Michael Yeadon, says second wave was faked with false positives from the PCR test and that the pandemic is over: https://www.globalresearch.ca/chief-science-officer-pfizer-says-second-wave-faked-false-positive-covid-tests-pandemic-over/5724753 And from his twitter: https://twitter.com/MichaelYeadon3/status/1328494882856574978 “Look, I can’t be more direct. We can’t have a lethal pandemic sweeping the land, killing thousands of people & it NOT show up in the total mortality charts…It’s MISDIAGNOSES. Please wake up. It’s not even new. PCR false positive pseudo epidemics exist. We’ve got one. When in a pseudoepidemic everyone thinks it’s a real epidemic. But we don’t have extra deaths The fascinating thing about test related pseudo epidemics is that they vanish as soon as the aberrant test is halted. Nothing else changes because nothing else is happening.”
This is so predictable.
Just like the jobs numbers. Conservatives are predicted low, adjusted high. Commie, Lefty, Democrat numbers always predicted higher and adjusted lower.
So CCP WuFlu (It Came From A Lab) during PDJT was recorded higher and revised lower, for maximum damage.
Democrats doing what democrats do. Agree with SD this will happen all over. But most Americans will shrug and not give a shit one more time.
Or will they? This will be interesting to watch.
So they are lowering the previous death counts?
Realists: “This proves the statistics were wrong all along, just like we said.”
CNN: “WOW! President Biden can even raise the dead!”
Will the hospitals be returning those ill gotten “incentives”?
