This admission is exactly what people have been arguing for two years. This exact point, and the “with COVID -vs- from COVID” argument within the false narrative, is what justified Big Tech to ban COVID critics from their speech platforms.
I’m not going to comment further; at a certain point these reversals just get silly. WATCH:
.
Suddenly, as the magic politics of COVID infection rates turns into a liability, the accuracy of hospitalized COVID tests is something to clarify.
These officials are just throwing magic beans into the audience at this point. In the past ten days, the CDC, NIH and FDA have jumped so far over the justification shark, the light from where justification shark jumping starts could not catch them for years.

Yeah… well… same thing over the summer with the RSV surge, ya little turdball. Did you mention that at any point? Hm? No, you did not mention that any point.
I AM SO SICK OF THIS TINY TYRANT.
Magic beans and Jumping sharks. Combined we get Mexican Jumping Beans.
One trait of the Mexican Jumping Bean is if you shine a light on it, the bean will jump to find the darkness.
Now you know.
Re “One trait of the Mexican Jumping Bean is if you shine a light on it, the bean will jump to find the darkness.”
No disrespect intended; but it’s pretty funny to think that something hatched, and still residing, in the dark would have any reason to ‘find’ darkness.
More likely, the heat sensitive larva that was hatched and temporarily resides in the dark insides of the ‘bean,’ and is the cause of its ‘jumping,’ is trying to escape from the light’s heat. At that point in its life, it has never known anything BUT darkness; so, it does not know what light is and has no way of knowing whether it is light or dark OUTSIDE its tiny little temporary world.
Even the heat from the palm of one’s hand will make them become more active, btw…
Why wasn’t there a follow-up question like: Well, are the Coronavirus counts similarly inflated for Adult Coronavirus hospitalizations and Adult Coronavirus deaths?????
It’s because the lack of a free press the technocrats have been able to keep the false marratove for so long.
Tiny Tyrant indeed.
I’m hoping so much this little bastard gets caught in his own trap. No one would welcome it more than me.
I hope a plane engine smacks him. Donnie Darko style!
That’s the plane truth. But, don’t get me started.
The Brooklyn Bloviator Blows Through Another Bending Blunder—Film at 11!
I have no idea how he make so many tee vee appearances. His voice sounds like an old dog that ate brussel sprouts.
Think of all the money hospitals made with the fake PCR test to cash in on all that bonus money.
Doctors are all in for covid. Keep that government money flowing.
That’s what I was just wondering: do the hospitals get the covid bonus in both situations with/of? Driving politics of fear and more money?
Considering it is highly infectious they would get a bonus for handling charges. So they would love the PPCR test.
There are waivers such that patients do not pay for hospitalization.
“The study finds that each hospitalization of a person with private insurance cost a total of $42,200 on average, and that each hospitalization of a person with COVID-19 who had Medicare Advantage coverage averaged about $21,400”
So yea, its about the money.
Of course!
Don’t forget that one of the features of Obamacare was the elimination of private Dr. practices. Most doctors had to join a corporation, hospital or clinic to survive. Now they are in the same situation as others who must get on board or lose their job. As usual evil in the system goes back to Obama.
Bert, All that government money happens to be your and my tax dollar.
He must think he’s a Movie Star with all the shows he goes on. I wonder if he has a Hollywood booking agent on his NIH payroll. would not surprise me if we found out we were paying for his booking agent. It will never happen but he should be strip of his pention for the crimes he committed during the crisis his Virus created . I believe they let this thing rip to change the narrative. The CCP was under a lot of pressure from Trump and Hong Kong freedom fighters and they knew that their Americans partners in Washington DC would benefit greatly by the release. They live to exploit a crisis,they do their best work under the guise of crisis.
Dr. Rand Paul will be the Witness for the Prosecution. He will put this government sponsored Dr. Faustus, IN JAIL/ OUT TO PASTURE. I I will write the screenplay and take my tithe or ten percent of the profits. It will make the new Marvel/Spiderman billion dollar baby/celluloid classic look like Peanuts or no more Lucy moving the Football on Charlie Brown. I can even play Lucy & Linus on my Baby Grand. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER, Bond, James Bond. Give my regards to Broadway and Marvin Hamlisch, I AM the EASY WINNER. OR the Sequel to THE STING, sans The Sundance Kid. Grab your popcorn and Things go Better with COKE.
Sooner or later, even the lefties will start to see through this B.S.
I won’t hold my breath as they are willingly complicit in the lies and cult ideology.
They either see it or blindly deny it! Almost impossible to convince those that drank the koolaid!
Yes I know how it is. I’ve been canceled from one entire side of my family now. Not even a neg test will suffice for gatherings. It’s vax or unwelcome. Got dressed down by someone very close and whenever I would raise a point they would not hear it saying the science was settled and how could I presume to know more than the CDC, AMA, etc. and when I simply said I wanted to hear from the experts what their rationale and data was, my point was rejected and it was conversation over. It was abject fear and rage. This all happened Christmas Day no less.
Sounds like two of my brothers, only the relationships totally ended. So sad.
Pretty sure they won’t! They have proven over and over again that they are completely immune to fact and reason. They worship narratives that agree with their demented world view.
Don’t forget the Mamet Principle: they pretend not to know things….
Some will, some won’t. Some already do.
I am speechless. This MFer is evil.
Fauci is such a pathetic fraud. If the sheep would quit testing, which drives the totally meaningless “cases”, this farce would die on its own. There are no real numbers in cases, hospitalizations or deaths. All three of these Scamdemic measurements have been so obscured, none of it is believable
Yes, but it has ushered in patriot act part two, and now they own the DNA of millions!
Boy I hope there’s a white hat out there with the capacity to take out those DNA databases.
“You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.”
How many elderly people were “tested” and “diagnosed” and then had a ventilator put on them plus loved ones not allowed to visit – and possibly STOP the ventilator phase – if the poor darlings were getting pneumonia but were at the mercy of all of these monsters basically killing them . . . abortion mentality!
“Abortion mentality.” Exactly!!
Just saw New Zealand is going full “The Giver” by offering euthanasia to those ill with the virus. No surprise there. Full on Nazi utopia under the rule of horse face
Their goal is to control the tests, then they can create the false positives to fit their agenda.
like coming up with enough ballots to make their guy win?
it is more akin to inflating voter rolls through MotorVotor and GOTV drives…the SIZE of the list for the electorate and COVID “victims” are the important numbers…they can backfill the data they want when they want

Hang ’em high. After a trial before a jury of their peers, of course.
This lie has been going on from the first. Because of this kind of politicized dishonesty, we shouldn’t trust anything that comes out of the official DC public health establishment. Everything they say is preloaded with vaccine-dogma propaganda. A year ago Texas public health was claiming a massive overcount of “covid cases”. I talked to a local municipal epidemiologist who conformed just how loose the “case” definition actually was. The trick was to count “potential cases” as actual cases. If you just stood next to someone who was infected you could be counted as being a “covid case”. This went on for months until the state quietly changed it’s definitions.
The ‘Scarf Lady’, Deborah Birx told us early on…. In one of the Coronavirus Task Force briefings — as the corporate media breathlessly counted the deaths and ran them, 24/7, on the chyron — she said something like: ‘we are in the fog of war now… so if someone dies ‘with COVID’ or ‘from COVID’ we count it as a COVID death… when things calm down, we will research all the ’cause of death’ info and separate the ‘withs’ from the ‘froms’ to get an actual count’….
Attempts to do that, I believe, have resulted in ~10% as strictly ‘from’…. So that is ~70,000 in two years… 35,000 per year….
Annual flu numbers…
a study in Portugal derived the correcting factor of 0.06…so 850k OFFICIAL deaths = 51k ACTUAL deaths FROM COVID
CDC actually admits now that only 5% of recorded *covid deaths* were OF covid. So yes, you are right in correlating the real numbers to the Magically Disappeared Because of Masks™ flu seasons of the last two years.
So let’s see – he thought he would try some truth as a Secret Sauce inside layers of his LieBurger?
Most people here know by now that Pharaoh Fauci is the god of science. But what many here have not yet come to know, on account of being unenlightened, is that Pharaoh Fauci is also the god of math. And just as science is not science unless and until Pharaoh Fauci says so, so too math is not math unless and until Pharaoh Fauci says so. We may all think we know 2 plus 2 is 4, but unless and until Pharaoh Fauci says it is 4, it is not 4.
Scarred for life 🙁
Y’all wonder how we end up with groups like Antifa and the Rainbow People… there you go.
No father in the picture.
No gloves?
Now that would be silly.
No mask on the stuffed animal either.
Animal abuse…
Here on the eastern shore masks are spotty but on weekends, starting Thursday night the Bethesda crowd come across the bridge bringing masks and mayhem. Their masked young children have dead eyes, like sharks. Just an observation. There is no joy in those three kids in that picture. It’s child abuse.
They are waking up to the fact that very few people agree with there politics. They believed their own gaslighting and got to the point where they tried to out-woke each other. And they also believe Americans were as stupid as they were told during the Obama years. Stupid enough to believe the world would be a better place by electing a communist Anti-American Manchurian candidate who came from left field. They got Obama off the bench after he was groomed by intellectual communist around the country. And they believed every puff piece written by democrat stenographers to prop up an incompetent leftist hell bent on knocking America down a few notches. As they are finding out even the democrats who don’t even know why they are democrats but are told to vote democrat are waking up and realizing these “Democrats” are not doing a damn thing in their best interest!
Americans need to be “WOKE” but not in the sense that Identity politics has created ,they need to be woke to the Bamboozle that is the democrat party and the uni-party, who are stabbing the average American in the back at every turn.
Americans are stupid. They watch the American media. They go to American public schools. The vast majority ran around in masks to block a virus which is like using a chain link fence to block water.
Those same Americans are not only lining up to take boosters because the first two shots didn’t work they are rushing to inject their children with an experimental gene therapy with potentially deadly side effects.
Not stupid: brainwashed. MKUltra in media.
Hillary Slams Biden “We Don’t Have a White House that We Can Count on to be Sane and Sober and Stable and Productive”

Sober? Have another glass of Woodbridge, ya old Lushbag.
Anybody who thought this two-time loser wasn’t going for the three-peat was kidding themselves.
Ironically… I THINK SHE’S THE DEM CLOWN’S BEST CANDIDATE!!!!!!!!
Briefing from the Illinois director of public health from May, 16 2020 (18 months ago), saying the exact same thing about kovid death counts.
This CDC Official is so brutally honest and forthcoming explaining that anyone who dies for any reason and tests positive for Covid-19 is counted as a Coronavirus death. Why hasn’t SunDance run a whole feature article on this video alone? This is Exhibit A in the prosecution of Fauci, Brix, Collins and the Democrat run news media!
This is the Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health – Illinois, being a significant component of the total counts.
Val, below, also quotes Dr Birx making essentially the same statement as the video above.
Exactly, and she is the state level partner if the CDC! There is one in every state. This video is an INCREDIBLE admission of a two year fraud on Americans!
People with HIV have heart inflammation or venous thromboembolism (VTE) which are of course serious sources of Heart Attacks by as much as 4.5 and 10 times respectively.
I wonder if the HIV patents identified by Dr. Martin as being in COVID-19 could be the trigger causing the Immune System response spoke of by Dr. Bhakdi?
I wonder if some are beginning to worry about possible crimes against humanity??
I’m thinking of lawsuits. I know the pharmaceuticals are protected from liability, but is that little idiot protected too? I’d like to see him relieved of some of his millions. As far as I am concerned, that video is a confession.
Are the pharmaceutical companies protected from liability if fraud is involved? Doesn’t fraud vitiate those protections?
I think so. Fraud invalidates a plea agreement or immunity agreement conditioned on full disclosure!
Thanks, Joe… There is hope!
Fraud vitiates everything
If they aren’t, they should be… There are multiple crimes against humanity here in my view — starting with the demonizing and outlawing of safe, effective, re-purposed, inexpensive therapeutics that would have saved many lives… The crimes just get worse from there…
Then again, there has to be a functioning justice system in the country in order for those crimes to be prosecuted. 🤔
Wonder if the hospitals get the covid bonus in both situations – hospitalized with/hospitalized because of? The higher numbers used to drive fear and also profits?
Of course they get the $$$!
They have been doing this with “covid deaths” since spring 2020. Covid Deaths include both those who died FROM covid as well as those who died WITH covid. Jump off a bridge, get run over by a train, get killed by you girlfriend’s husband, when they test your corpse, if it tests positive for covid, you were a covid death.
So – why are they trying to unwind this now? A gigantic “never mind”? My suspicious instincts are telling me they have something else they are about to roll out, something BIG, and they don’t want covid panic getting in their way.
I think the public is starting to see the “vaccines” were a charade. The mandates were a charade. The lockdowns were a charade.
They want to put some distance between all that and their role in it – And yea, feels like something BIG is coming.
Yes, 90% died WITH Coronavirus and 10% FROM Coronavirus. In the fine print at the CDC Death Count website it shows the difference and when it changed!
Fauci makes me so sick that it is difficult to listen to him even for 41 seconds. It actually turns my stomach.
I have the TV on for noise when I hear him on I refuse to look up, am afraid I would throw something at it. Evil, corrupt little scum. May the Lord help us.
WOW. It’s as if the last 18 months never happened. What a crook.
Fauci knew the LIE all along and kept it going with his daily fear mongering!
It’s absolutely textbook right out of Islam. Taqiyya. Any sort of lie of any type is perfectly acceptable, and it supersedes any previous lie, and lying is perfectly acceptable to any infidel as long as it advances the cause. The bigger the lie the better. Taqiyya. Look it up for yourself. Also see Diabolical Narcissism.
I call it the “Taqqiya Sunrise” . . . kind of like dri nking the Kool-Aid!
Good Grief YOU IDIOT. The federal government pays a bonus to hospitals testing for covid as soon as patients walk in the door. What did you expect to happen but that the numbers would go sky high and get completely out of whack?? And this not only refers to children but many adults who were disposed of in the name your stupid covid for the bonus because you bad mouthed all the therapeutics which would have helped so you could put money in your pocket you stinkin SOB.
PCR test: bonus
Remdisivir: bonus
Covid as cause of death: bonus
This totally pisses me off, you numbskull.
Dont forget ventilators
and for each Covid death
I read somewhere undertakers get $$$ to foreach Covid death
Thank you. I posted the link and a summary on the next page. It took me a while to find it in my bookmarks. But the link is dead now and the article is gone, which I suspected would happen. The first time I read the article here, I copied and pasted some of it to my computer for future reference. I have posted that portion that I saved and yes, it did include a bonus for the ventilators.
Hello. This story seems to have the information you are talking about:

Thank you.
The habitual smirk—–makes for a slappable face.
Fauci is not only incompetent, but he excels at being a professional fraud. He is the ultimate embarrassment, to the medical and scientific communities.
He needs to be put out of our misery
Come on Kharma Bus
Please run over this pos
Notice how no mention of RFK Jrs book on the left.
Dr Deborah Birx in April 2020:
“Feds classifying all coronavirus patient deaths as ‘COVID-19’ deaths, regardless of cause”
(By Fox News
April 7, 2020 )
FTA:
There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem,” she said during a Tuesday news briefing at the White House. “Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.
The intent is … if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that,” she added.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/birx-says-government-is-classifying-all-deaths-of-patients-with-coronavirus-as-covid-19-deaths-regardless-of-cause
I remember that press conference and President Trump was standing right next to Brix when she said that every death was going to be a Coronavirus death if the patient tested positive! President Trump knew it was a fraud but couldn’t stop it. That’s the enemy we’re up against!
The instant Anthony Fauci was conceived, which he did by himself, both science and math came into existence.
“I am Science! I am the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars! I am the Big Bang itself!!!”
Will someone PLEASE throw a bucket of water on that jack-ass warlock??? Melt him!
He needs burrholes administered with a fast moving metal projectile
Why is anyone surprised? Hospitals are a money making entity. They were never set up as 503 c non profit organization.
Gee……thanks for the interpretation. I always thought hospitals were for helping people, saving their lives, making them well which they were paid extremely well to accomplish, an entity for which I once had respect.
If you read on, I think you’ll be surprised to learn some of them are JUST insensitive unconcerned money making machines. But this is JMHO, you understand.
LOL! They’ve been doing this since the beginning w/ adults.
Did the MSNBC reporter ask him why the sudden switch in reporting for #’s of children’s cases?
hahahhaha!! Nevermind! I think we can all guess the answer to *that* question!
If you feel good, but are one of many waiting in line for three hours to get tested—covid isn’t your issue.
And, one more thing, you are expected to vote in person in the next election.
Started vaccines
Ooopsies
Instant variant
Ooopsies
Increase in cases and hospitalization
Started jabbing kids
Ooopsies
More sick kids
This guy is a complete toad.
Are these fools trying to somehow finagle their way out of the mess they created w/ all their lies the past couple years?
Cuz their messaging sure has changed *abruptly* this past week.
5 day quarantine, no need for tests, the sudden concern that hospital admissions be reported honestly, etc etc etc.
What’s next? Don’t get a booster?
Wondered how long it would take for this declaration of his to go belly up?
~~~~~~ Fauci quote, The Washington Post, 12/19/21
Dr. Death. The face of COVID USA.
Need to update that chart … today’s numbers broke 572,000 cases … panic meltdown about to ensue (the only good bit of news is that deaths are way down).
As for that petty tyrant Fauci … he’s such a mass of contradictions that almost every sentence he utters messes a preceding sentence … no one can believe a word this boob says in creating his piles of word salads that say nothing and confuses everyone.
Suspecting something horrible has been found out to make the federal government want to pass all this health concern down to the states and build up a bank of “opposite” quotes to deny and fend off accusations of abuse of power, incompetent governance, crimes against humanity, etc. Remember who the demons are that we’re dealing with here and burning up the states to lessen the losses during the next election is “the end justifing the means”. For example, does each new infection spike directly correspond to % of population vaccinated?
Now do the number of people who died with COVID vs because of COVID …oh and don’t forget to include the because of COVID money bonus for hospitals.
“COVID money bonus for hospitals”
This will be revealed, eventually… and it’s not going to be pretty.
Interesting that the sports world has been turned upside down to the point that nothing has credibility anymore. Rosters decimated randomly based on the so called ‘tests’ even when most positives have symptoms no worse than the flu. If any symptoms at all.
Yet the overwhelming majority are fully vaxxedcand spend most of their time together. Yet the faulty logic of blaming the unvaxxed never is even mentioned.
Sports media are some of the dumbest people around. Beyond their specialized knowledge of the sport they deal with they are as compliant and uninquisitive as can be. Always blindly accepting everything said in the MSM. And proud to echo the party line as ‘public service’ messengers. Dissenters like Irving, Rodgers and Bertuzzi (Detroit hockey) might as well be lepers. Though their productivity can’t be be spun away.
Recently there has been some low key grumbling by a few more athletes questioning the inconsistencies and contradictions. But dissenting from the narrative too strongly has career ramifications.
When more high profile figures in different fields become brave enough to say that the emperor has no clothes then maybe it will be a wakeup call. The odds against fighting and beating the system are immense, but even some cracks in the solidarity mindset may lead to a snowball effect.
Guys like , Fauci worshipping, Rex Chapman calling for withholding medical treatment for the unvaxxed. What an embarrassment for the state of Ky.
There is a bill coming up for got in NYS over the next month on DENYING INSURANCE COVERAGE to UNVAXXED.
The evil out there is immeasurable.
I’m not sure our elite athletes ever received the vax. Elite athletes around the world are collapsing daily with heart attacks and other heart issues from the vaccines, but not one report of an NFL or NBA or NHL player collapsing with heart issues. I’m not wishing that on anyone, just making an observation that what’s happening worldwide to vaxxed elite athletes is not happening here. Why is that? Makes me think the plan was to “saline” our pros, tell them they were vaxxed, give them their “passports” and call it good. If they subsequently get sick, well, they’ll be told “it’s a breakthrough case and you’re lucky you’ve been vaxxed because your symptoms will be mitigated” (even though it’s quite obvious Covid never had a big impact on the young and healthy). That’s the story. I’d be willing to wager the pols have had the same treatment — fake it, call it good, and fall back on “breakthrough” if they get sick. Meanwhile, the plebs get the real clot shot and suffer the consequences.
It is past time that Fauci was kicked out of office and barred from ever being involved with ANY type of medical development. He is a dirty weasel.
WTF Sundance, He’s not gaslighting, he’s promoting and practicing genocide. He killed my grandpa. I’m so pissed (“f”ing plus “u” and the “c and the k”kin”) but there’s no recourse. Who do I sue? The “supreme court” denied there was any election fraud.
Merick is my savior? Sheesh. A FBI agent unloads two bullets in a crowd and gets reprimanded? Hillary walks the streets? Comey’s daughter gets a pass and a long term promotion because she successfully prosecuted a huge case. Slam Dunk. F’in bourgeoise. Butterflys, pupas planned to be growing into blood sucking leaches.
Laura Logan, none of this is chance. It may not be planned, but it’s not chance. These a$$hats mean to kill everyone, and they will unless… Do we go back to nation states? Maybe? It would mean a serious conversation, probably with the guns of history drawn… MTG is right suggesting divorce. It’s a start…
God bless.
He killed my Uncle Anthony!!!
Understand that these folks are reacting. Fauci must be well aware of what is being said about Covid and children. The backstepping here was cued by the New York Times article by Andrew Jacobs: “Omicron Is Not More Severe for Children, Despite Rising Hospitalizations”
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/28/health/omicron-kids-hospitalizations.html
Second, Dr. Robert Malone is a powerful force, despite his being banned from Twitter. How many of you did what I did today–send the video that Sundance posted to parents of children in our own families?
Yes, they are reacting, retreating until next time. But, the lesson is that speaking out forces them to reverse themselves, especially when the speaker is the inventor of the vaccine technology that they’re using.
This is a lesson on how to keep speaking out. Why should we do that if they’re just going to regroup and attack again when they think the smoke has died down? Because everytime they backtrack, they create confusion in those of our countrymen that support the vaccine. Repeated confusion from backpedaling will reach a tippling point with some people and will reinforce and bolster those who have not taken the inoculation but may be feeling pressured to do so.
Most people who took the shot have second thoughts when it comes to their kids. When the schools start requiring the shots, the pressure will be intense. For the sake of those kids, we need to keep gumming up the works.

Next up from the Flip Flopping Fraudsters: pinning as much Covid Chaos blame as possible on Trump.
When they finally admit to the massive death and destruction caused by the vaccines, it will be Trump’s fault. Tune in… oooh… around Feb/March 2024.
They are changing all the definitions, measurement tools, and protocols so they can say FJB actually kept his campaign promise to end COVID and all the dems can campaign on those coat tails.
Consider this: at this point they may actually better off just coming out declaring “IT’S OVER! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!”. Their current burn rate is unsustainable.
