Other than a satisfying “told you so” momentfor a good many contributors and commenters at this blog, why recall this? Because it underlines how the entire health care establishment went along with this hoax, that censorship worked against those seeking to reveal the truth who were derided as conspiracy theorists and that all levels of government failed us or were actively conspiring against us. Maybe, just maybe, this will be recalled the next time we are in a moment of national hysteria and we are being told to take steps, in an atmosphere of national panic, that make no sense.
Died “with” or died “from”. It’s that tiny difference of 2 small words that the media were interchanging depending on the narrative they wanted to feed the public that day. They were hoping the public didn’t noticed. Oh but we noticed.
You’ve all bought into the notion that all of a sudden, the ability of doctors to ascertain a cause of death and distinguish it from co-morbidities has evaporated. Or, perhaps, you’ve bought into the notion that the doctors are lying or that everyone who compiles data in state and local health departments is now lying. This is not wise.
Hospitals had a financial incentive Art to claim that someone died of Covid. That was not wise policy. I have also had doctors tell me that they were informed in no uncertain terms that they would lose their jobs, and perhaps their medical licenses, if they said anything against the official Covid policy.

I keep hearing that asserted but never delineated.
Your thesis is that physicians are being coerced into falsifying death certificates on a massive scale. I think you’re investing in a thesis that is not plausible and has not been demonstrated.

Physicians were coerced Art. It is like the Texas cowboy who was asked if he believed in infant baptism. “Believe in it? I’ve seen it done!”
I will assume Art that you do not have a lot of dealings with death certificates and the process by which they are written up. I do, and Covid, at least in Central Illinois in 2020, was routinely put down as one of the causes of death if there was a positive test.
No one needs to convince me that large sums of “Covid-relief”money was paid to hospitals during the panicdemic IF they designated a patient was Covid-positive, and especially if the person passed away “with Covid.”
Our son-in-law is an RN/BSN in the Phoenix area, and at the time worked at a major Phoenix medical center. He questioned why some patients were being designated as Covid positive, knowing the Covid testing was very inaccurate and unreliable and the cause of death was manifestly NOT Covid. Financial administration personnel told him the difference in federal money paid to the medical center was an additional [between] (roughly) $4000 and $5300 per patient. There is a little doubt that this became a means of propelling and controlling medical centers across the nation to keep the Covid crisis going.
Donald McClarey is spot on.
A “moment of national hysteria”. Nope, this was planned and corridinated. Only the gullible BELIEVED it. Art is like Neil deGrasse Tyson. He recently did an interview where he stated that experts have a review process and it must be trusted. No matter how many times in the interview when evidence was presented that contradicted his belief or was inconflict with other experts his opinion would not change.
Have you noticed that vast swaths of the establishment are now in obedience to the godless Democrats? Academia and public schools, of course. News and social media. Military brass. Even the health care industry. These liberals are like a pervasive cancer infecting everything everywhere.
Still can’t get over the fact that Leana Wen got canned as national director of Planned Parenthood in 2019 because the board of directors thought she wasn’t pro-abortion enough.
