The last few years demonstrated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not given Americans any reason to trust it.
The latest long-delayed revelation only reinforces suspicions the CDC failed to provide the due diligence required in the complex mix of Medicine and Politics Covid became.
In yet another credibility-damaging admission, in June the CDC changed the statistics of fatalities from COVID-19. The embattled agency revealed it had over-calculated the Covid 19 death count by more than 72,000.
As reported in the Daily Wire, the revision was made to 26 states, across all age groups. The CDC chalked up claims of 72, 277 extra COVID fatalities to a “coding logic error.”
The CDC now claims 969,000 died from COVID-19. The adjustments represent about a 7.5 percent decrease in the currently reported fatalities.
It is unclear if the current accepted death count will be subject to even more revisions.
The article notes the CDC altered the Covid death counts months ago. The Daily Wire’s Mairead Elordi stated “that back in August, the data on COVID deaths was changed after they identified a data discrepancy.”
For some reason, it is only being reported now.
It was even more impactful on the reporting on kids. “The huge change in the pediatric death count drops the estimate of COVID deaths in children down to 1,341 nationwide. Children were about 19 percent of all COVID cases but only about a quarter of a percent of those cases were fatal,” said Elordi.
