PhD Epidemiologist: Social Distancing and Lockdown Worst Way to Deal with Airborne Respiratory Virus

Today we continue to offer alternative perspectives from other scientists and medical doctors on the COVID-19 virus, and the response to it. As I have previously written, we feel it is important to give a voice to all sides of this current pandemic, especially because so much is being censored from the coporate-sponsored "mainstream" media. Facebook just announced, for example, that they banning any information regarding protests against the government's response to COVID-19 that has put millions of people out of work. This video lecture from Professor Knut Wittkowski has received over 1 million views since it was published earlier this month (April, 2020). He believes that the current approach being implemented to fight the COVID-19 outbreak is "the absolutely worst way to deal with an airborne respiratory virus," and "that the schools be open now, so that the virus may spread harmlessly among the young, and thus shorten the amount of time the elderly and immune compromised must be sequestered."

Medical Analytics Firm: COVID19 Vaccine to Take 5.2 Years to Develop with 5% Chance of Success

The pharmaceutical trade publication, Fierce Pharma, is a publication targeting investors in pharmaceutical products, such as vaccines. This week (April 2020) they published an article titled: Don’t count on a COVID-19 vaccine for at least five years, says AI-based forecast. Investors want to be assured that a new product does not get rushed to market too quickly, bypassing safety regulations, for obvious reasons.  They have learned their lessons from previous products that gained FDA approval but later turned out to harm people, like the Merck VIOXX scandal in years passed, where up to 60,000 people are suspected of dying due to dangerous side effects of the drug, before it was pulled from the market. A company called Clarivate has developed an analytical tool called Cortellis Analytics which apparently uses artificial intelligence to predict how long it will take to bring a certain drug to market. Fierce Pharma reports: "Using a tool it developed called Cortellis Analytics, Clarivate estimated that Moderna has just a 5% probability of success with its COVID-19 vaccine mRNA-1273, and that the time window for approval would be 5.2 years. The low probability of success reflects the fact that mRNA is a new, unproven approach to vaccines, said Sarah Hardison, Ph.D., head of product, regulatory and pharmacovigilance at Clarivate, in an email." Clarivate isn’t the only firm raising questions about the growing optimism that a solution to COVID-19 will rescue everyone from their quarantines soon. Analysts at SVB Leerink spoke to a vaccine development-specialist earlier this month and warned in a report to investors that “safety is often more important than efficacy to regulators, and long-term safety must be established before” a vaccine will be approved.

Are Elected County Sheriffs America’s Last Hope to Fight Medical Tyranny? Some Sheriffs Refusing to Enforce Stay at Home Orders, Siding with Constitutional Rights

Every county in the U.S. elects a sheriff to oversee law enforcement within that county. As elected officials, County Sheriffs take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, and protect the constitutional rights of their constituents, even if it means standing up to Federal agents and others who would seek to violate the rights of their constituents within their counties. Most all other law enforcement departments and administrators in the U.S. are appointed, not elected. The County Sheriff is the exception. One of the largest Constitutional Sheriffs association is the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA). On their "Statements of Positions" page they define their duties to uphold the Constitution: America needs to make a strong turn around to get back on the freedom track laid for us by our Founders. We believe it can’t be done from the top down, due to many factors, not the least of which is corruption and entrenched bureaucracies in high places. We must, and we can, accomplish this turn- around starting locally at the county level, and lower. The office of county sheriff is the last hope of making this happen, and we are witnessing great deeds of protection, service, and interposition across America by courageous sheriffs who only want to serve the people who elected them. Some sheriffs across the U.S. are beginning to take a stand and oppose their State Governors' unconstitutional "Stay at Home" orders which have put millions of people out of work, and destroyed many thousands of businesses. Racine, Wisconsin County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling is one of those sheriffs, and he made waves this week when he took a public stand in favor of his constituents Constitutional Rights, and against Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers' "Safer at Home" order. As ABC local affiliate WISN 12 reports: On Friday, Schmaling released a statement that said he will not enforce the order because he believes it violates businesses' and citizens' constitutional rights. "The overreaching measures taken by State government will have dire lifetime consequences for businesses, homeowners, and families. I took an oath to uphold the constitutional rights of our citizens and I can not in good faith participate in the destruction of Racine County businesses or interfere in the freedoms granted to all of us by our Constitution," Schmaling's statement said.

Ron Paul: We Need Millions Out on the Streets Expressing Their Opinions

Medical doctor and former Congressman and U.S. presidential candidate Ron Paul has been broadcasting daily via his Liberty Report TV show, bringing a different perspective to the coronavirus pandemic that you are not likely to hear much about in the corporate-sponsored "mainstream" media. This past week (April 2020) his show highlighted the growing protests by U.S. citizens around the country who are objecting to the loss of jobs and civil liberties due to the government's actions in the name of "public health." Thousands have protested in states across the U.S., with protests this past week occurring in states like Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky.  Mass protests are breaking out across the United States against the tyrannical "stay at home" orders and forced shut-downs of businesses deemed "non-essential." More than 20 million are suddenly unemployed and they are demanding to know why, with seasonal flu deaths often even higher than those predicted for coronavirus, they are forced into joblessness, poverty, and despair by a political class that faces none of these things. But Ron Paul states that if we want to maintain what little liberty we have left in our republic, "millions" need to start taking to the streets in peaceful protests. Dr. Paul believes in "Resistance without Violence," like Martin Luther King advocated. Dr. Paul also addresses the impact on the financial system this has caused: "What about the economic policy - the financial system that takes care of the billionaires...? A few billionaires made billions and billions of more dollars, and they're on the receiving end of the bailouts. All of this would be answered if the people would give up on the dependency of government, and believing their authoritarianism is in their best interest. It's in the best interest of the special interest and powerful people who are in charge."

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIAID Gave $3.7 Million to Scientists at the Chinese Wuhan Lab at Center of Coronavirus Outbreak

The Daily Mail reported that it has uncovered documents showing that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) gave $3.7 million to scientists at the Wuhan Lab at the center of coronavirus leak scrutiny. According to the British paper, “the federal grant funded experiments on bats from the caves where the virus is believed to have originated.” Following the 2002-2003 SARS coronavirus outbreak, NIH funded a collaboration by Chinese scientists, US military virologists from the bioweapons lab at Fort Detrick and National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists from NIAID to prevent future coronavirus outbreaks by studying the evolution of virulent strains from bats in human tissues. Those efforts included “gain of function” research which is “accelerated viral evolution” to create COVID Pandemic superbugs, enhanced bat borne COVID mutants more lethal and more transmissible than wild COVID. Fauci’s studies alarmed scientists around the globe who complained, according to a December 2017 NY Times article, that “these researchers risk creating a monster germ that could escape the lab and seed a pandemic.” Dr. Marc Lipsitch of the Harvard School of Public Health’s Communicable Disease Center told the Times that Dr. Fauci’s NIAID experiments “have given us some modest scientific knowledge and done almost nothing to improve our preparedness for pandemic, and yet risked creating an accidental pandemic.”

Facebook to Warn Users about “Fake” COVID19 Cures – Only W.H.O. Approved “Cures” Allowed

Facebook's war against what they consider "fake news" is suddenly taking on a new level of effort on their part. Besides using their own "fact checking" services to censor information they don't like, they are now taking the unprecedented action of actually notifying users who have previously "liked, reacted to or commented on" coronavirus cures that they consider "dangerous and false information." How does Facebook determine what are "bogus cures"? NPR reports: "In the coming weeks, Facebook users who liked, reacted to or commented on potentially harmful debunked content will see a message in their news feeds directing them to the World Health Organization's 'Myth busters' page. There, the WHO dispels some of the most common falsehoods about the pandemic." Zuckerberg, along with Bill Gates and many other American Billionaires, sits on the board of the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management in China, hosted by Wang Qishan the vice-president of the Republic of China and established in 2000, with annual meetings. As we recently published in our article: Is W.H.O. Director Tedros a Terrorist? Global Ties to Bill Gates, Clinton Foundation, Dr. Fauci, China and Genocide, China and Bill Gates have been instrumental in installing Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a former terrorist in Africa, as the first non-doctor director of the World Health Organization. It would appear that China and Bill Gates' influence over the WHO is now also involved in the censoring of non-vaccine cures for COVID19 on Facebook as well.

Is W.H.O. Director Tedros a Terrorist? Global Ties to Bill Gates, Clinton Foundation, Dr. Fauci, China and Genocide

In a just a few weeks time, the fate of the entire planet seems to have been placed under the command of the World Health Organization and its leader, Tedros Gherbreyesus. But over the last few days his handling of the coronavirus crisis and his relationships with China have put the chairman of the organization under heavy fire, with many calling for his resignation.  During one of the many Covid-19 press conferences at the White House, Dr. Fauci showed all his appreciation for Tedros Ghebreyesus, the new hero: "Tedros is really an outstanding person. I've known him from the time that he was the minister of Health in Ethiopia. The WHO has done very well under his leadership." So who is this man who supposedly has our destiny in his hands?  Ghebreyesus' political career began at the politburo of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPFL), a terrorist organization of the Tigray minority ethnic group (6% of the Ethiopian population), listed in the U.S. Homeland Security Global Terrorism Database for a series of kidnappings, bombings and armed robberies. It is now obvious that the WHO and its leaders have a pandemic response agenda that has more to do with global government and world leadership than health. Bill Gates seems to be leading the initiative with the CEPI fund to hasten the production of vaccines. He is pushing his global governance agenda with his army of devoted health experts, such as the members of the Coronavirus Response Task Force, Fauci and Birx, who are long-time close partners of the Global Fund AIDS campaign. And with their Beijing ties, it is no wonder that Fauci refused to answer the press who asked his opinion on Tedros praising China. The chairman of the World Health Organization is serving Africa on a silver plate to the new leaders of a corporate - communist inspired - global government.  Tedros, you are unmasked.

Passport to the Brave New World: The Vaccine

I have already written about the currency reset and other features of a technocratic future waiting in the wings. —New levels of visible surveillance, social credit scores, universal guaranteed income, Internet of Things, energy-use quotas, smart cities. —Events can move in several directions, going forward. In this article, I explore one of those directions. The occasion is this fake pandemic; the big hammer is the vaccine against the phony COVID. Viewed from one angle, the whole fake epidemic is a set-up for the vaccine, and for mandatory vaccines. I have written about the special exemption from liability recently issued by the US Dept. of Health and Human Services. Basically, anyone associated with pharmaceutical strategies undertaken “against the coronavirus” cannot be sued, regardless of “adverse effects” of medicines or vaccines. Taking a stand against mandatory vaccines—any and all vaccines—is more important than ever.

Why are the World’s Top Vaccine Promoters Frantically Warning About the Frightening Dangers in Developing a Coronavirus Vaccine?

Why are the world’s top vaccine promoters, like Paul Offit and Peter Hotez, frantically warning us about the unique and frightening dangers inherent in developing a coronavirus vaccine? Scientists first attempted to develop coronavirus vaccines after China’s 2002 SARS-CoV outbreak. Teams of US & foreign scientists vaccinated animals with the four most promising vaccines. At first, the experiment seemed successful as all the animals developed a robust antibody response to coronavirus. However, when the scientists exposed the vaccinated animals to the wild virus, the results were horrifying. Vaccinated animals suffered hyper-immune responses including inflammation throughout their bodies, especially in their lungs. Researchers had seen this same “enhanced immune response” during human testing of the failed RSV vaccine tests in the 1960s. Two children died. In this video footage, Offit, Hotez and even Anthony Fauci (in an unguarded moment), warn that any new coronavirus vaccine could trigger lethal immune reactions “vaccine enhancement” when vaccinated people come in contact with the wild virus. Instead of proceeding with caution, Fauci has made the reckless choice to fast track vaccines, partially funded by Gates, without critical animal studies before moving into human clinical trials that could provide early warning of runaway immune response. Gates (in the video) is so worried about the danger of adverse events that he says vaccines shouldn’t be distributed until governments agree to indemnity against lawsuits. On February 4, 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website, there were only 11 active CV cases in the USA, yet the U.S. quietly pushed through Federal regulations giving coronavirus vaccine makers full immunity from liability.

Bill Gates’ Plan to use Microneedles to Deliver COVID19 Vaccine and Embed Vaccination Status into the Skin

Last year (2019) we published an article about how Bill Gates was working with a group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had developed a method of embedding a person’s vaccination record directly into their skin using a special dye that is invisible to the naked eye. It uses a new technology of microneedles which also can more easily deliver a vaccine with a "Band-Aid-like device" that is placed on the skin. A skilled nurse or technician is not required to administer the vaccine which also implants the patients vaccination record into their skin like a tattoo, allowing for more rapid delivery of vaccines. Celeste McGovern, writing for GreenMedInfo.com, writes that this technology is now being deployed for the new COVID-19 vaccines.

Meet the New Billionaires Club: COVID-19 Vaccine Developers

Immediately after the Jan. 30 WHO declaration that a novel coronavirus outbreak in China posed a “public health emergency of international concern,” press releases were issued by the Gates Foundation and World Health Organization (WHO) informing the world that experimental coronavirus vaccines already in development would be put on a fast track to licensure for global use. By mid-March and early April, the WHO, National Institutes of Health, universities, and global pharmaceutical corporations had announced development of more than 50 experimental COVID-19 vaccines. Using vitamin and supplement therapies or currently licensed prescription drugs has taken a back seat to an aggressive push to keep restrictive “social distancing” measures in place until fast tracked experimental vaccines are licensed. Maintaining that the only solution to dealing with the new coronavirus is universal use of a new vaccine, this single solution approach guarantees even bigger profits in the exploding global vaccine market that has doubled over the past decade from $20B in 2010 to $42B in 2018. Dominated by the UK’s GlaxoSmithKline, France’s Sanofi and U.S. drug giants Merck and Pfizer, the vaccine market is projected to double again by 2026 to over $93B. There are already reports from Wall Street predicting big gains in Biotech stocks based on multiple companies developing COVID-19 vaccines and new drugs. One company, Moderna, which is partnering with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) headed by Dr. Fauci, has seen a 78 percent increase in its stock price since it announced in February that its experimental messenger RNA vaccine was ready for clinical trials. The company’s CEO has become a new billionaire overnight.

Michigan Holistic Physician Group Report: 85 COVID Patients Treated – ZERO Hospitalizations and NO Deaths

There has been a debate going on in healthcare for more than 100 years. It started in the 1800s when two competing points of view were put forward to explain disease, and the cause of disease. French medical scientist Louis Pasteur wrote on the "germ theory" of disease, while his French contemporary, Antoine Béchamp promoted a theory of "terrain," or sometimes referred to as the "cellular theory." An objective, critical review of each theory can find some merit to each approach. For example, Pasteur's work on unseen germs led to a change in practice for surgeons of the day, and many credit the work of Scottish doctor Joseph Lister for starting the practice of requiring surgeons to wash and disinfect their hands prior to surgery. Hospital-induced infections such as sepsis dropped so dramatically, that the practice of sterilization spread to surgical equipment as well. But as an overall model for disease and health, many feel that Pasteur's germ theory of disease overstates things in a reductionist sort of way that misses much in disease treatment. Holistic doctors today who supplement their medical training based mostly on the germ theory of disease, tend to follow the work originally put forth by Béchamp that the "terrian," more commonly referred to today as the body's "immune system," is much more important and effective in treating or curing disease. The evidence to support this theory is that pathogens affect everyone differently, not the same. Even during some of the most deadly recorded "plagues" or "pandemics" in history, some people succumbed, while others did not. Usually those who survived far outnumber those who died, leading to the theory that the immune system is the key factor in not only fighting disease, but preventing it in the first place. Of course today's medical system is NOT focused on prevention by building up the body's immune system, as there is no profit from that. Today's multi-TRILLION dollar medical industry needs sick patients to treat to remain economically viable. Well patients don't provide the same profit. But just as Dr. Joseph Lister put into practice Pastuer's theory of germs with great success in reducing hospital deaths, which might be great for preventing the deaths of patients already sick and is more of a "hygiene" protocol than a health protocol, so too many physicians today are putting into practice methods that more closely follow Béchamp's theories by bolstering the body's immune system with great success in treating disease. One such doctor that we have featured many times here on Health Impact News, is Dr. David Brownstein from the Center For Holistic Medicine in Michigan. Dr. Brownstein has just published a report where he is claiming that his clinic has treated 85 patients for COVID-19 and that none of them have died, and none of them had to be hospitalized. He has also video recorded some of their testimonies. So what treatment protocols did Dr. Brownstein use for this kind of success rate?

Wisconsin Pediatric Group Starts Mobile Clinic to Vaccinate Infants at Home

It's been well-documented that administering vaccines during babies' pediatric visits can bring in tremendous revenues for pediatricians. With the nation now suffering under lock downs due to the coronavirus situation, fewer parents are bringing their children into clinics for routine check ups where vaccines are usually administered. One clinic in Wisconsin has found a solution that might become more common place in the not-too-distant future. They created a mobile clinic and are driving directly to people's homes to administer vaccines.

Gates’ Globalist Vaccine Agenda: A Win-Win for Pharma and Mandatory Vaccination

Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccination ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control of global health policy. Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems to be fueled by a conviction to save the world with technology. Promising his share of $450 million of $1.2 billion to eradicate Polio, Gates took control of India’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI) which mandated up to 50 doses (Table 1) of polio vaccines through overlapping immunization programs to children before the age of five. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children beyond expected rates between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and asked Gates and his vaccine policies to leave India. NPAFP rates dropped precipitously. In addition to using his philanthropy to control WHO, UNICEF, GAVI, and PATH, Gates funds a private pharmaceutical company that manufactures vaccines, and additionally is donating $50 million to 12 pharmaceutical companies to speed up development of a coronavirus vaccine. In his recent media appearances, Gates appears confident that the Covid-19 crisis will now give him the opportunity to force his dictatorial vaccine programs on American children.

Minnesota Doctor and Senator Speaks Out on Fox News Regarding Coronavirus “Padded” Death Statistics for Financial Gain

Dr. Scott Jensen is a Minnesota physician and republican state senator. He recently appeared on Fox News during the The Ingraham Angle with host Laura Ingraham to discuss the CDC's new guidelines issued this week regarding how to fill out death certificates in the light of the current COVID-19 outbreak. As we have previously reported here at Health Impact News, many doctors are now coming forward to report inconsistencies with what the public is being told regarding COVID-19 treatments, and one of those issues is that "cause of death" is now being encouraged to be listed on death certificates, even if there is no positive test revealing COVID-19, or if there are other underlying conditions. Dr. Jensen pointed out another possible motive for this new CDC guideline: "Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do." Deaths attributed to COVID-19 are covered by the U.S. Government because of the massive stimulus package passed by Congress, but other causes of death are not. Listen to the entire interview, which up until now has rarely been reported in the corporate media. Doctors like Dr. Jensen are putting their careers on the line for daring to criticize government health authorities like Dr. Fauci.

Are Ventilators Killing COVID-19 Infected Patients? Doctors Speak Out

This past weekend (April 5, 2020) Health Impact News published a video plea from a NYC physician treating COVID19 patients in the ER and ICU units, claiming that what he was seeing was that patients were doing worse when put on ventilators. He stated: "I am a physician who has been working at the bedside of COVID+ patients in NYC. I believe we are treating the wrong disease and that we must change what we are doing if we want to save as many lives as possible. We don’t know where we’re going. We are putting breathing tubes in people and putting them on ventilators and dialing up the pressure to open their lungs. I’ve talked to doctors all around the country and it is becoming increasingly clear that the pressure we are providing may be hurting their lungs. That it is highly likely that the high pressures we are using are damaging the lungs of the patients we are putting breathing tubes in… we are running the ventilators in the wrong way…. COVID-19 patients need oxygen, they do not need pressure." Yesterday, April 8, 2020, reporter Mike Stobbe of the Associated Press wrote an article stating that many doctors are now moving away from using these ventilators due to the "unusually high death rate" of those put on them. His report was picked up by many of the large corporate "mainstream" media outlets. Stobbe reports that normally 40% to 50% of patients put on ventilators die, but with patients tested positive for COVID19 that number jumps up to 80%. These mechanical ventilators are a huge business right now during the COVID19 crisis. President Trump forced General Motors to produce 30,000 of them and sell them to the government at "cost" for a reported $489 million. Billing for services rendered to use ventilators in the hospitals is also very high, with non-surviving patients who need mechanical ventilator services ranging from $27,000–$39,000 per patient.

Who is Controlling the U.S. Response to COVID19: The White House or Bill Gates?

The headline to this article, "Who is Controlling the U.S. Response to COVID19: The White House or Bill Gates?," may seem sensational to some, and some might even accuse me of "click bait." Often when we write articles that put forward an opinion and there are not enough known facts to support a possible conclusion to a statement or premise, as journalists we make the statement into a question, because the fact is we don't truly know, although we have suspicions based on the available evidence. However, my intent in what I write today, is to present enough evidence so that by the time you finish reading this article, and watching a video I will include towards the end, that you will come to the conclusion that Bill Gates is indeed the one who has crafted the U.S. response to the current COVID19 pandemic. President Trump started his current job as President of the United States in January of 2017. Based on the upcoming elections of November 2020, his job will end either in January of 2021, or January of 2025. His job is a temporary job, lasting either 4 years, or 8 years at the most. Bill Gates, on the other hand, is not an elected official. As one of the wealthiest persons on the planet, he has influenced public health policy for decades, spanning the administration of several U.S. Presidents. He is not going to end his job anytime soon, and it is doubtful that there is any entity on earth powerful enough to force him to do so. Yesterday, April 7, 2020, President Trump announced that the United States may no longer support the World Health Organization (WHO), because he believes that this organization has handled the Coronavirus pandemic wrongly. He stated that the World Health Organization receives more funding from the United States than any other country. That may be true as far as countries go, but nobody contributes more to the World Health Organization than Bill Gates does, either directly through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, or through other organizations and enterprises he funds. Bill Gates is richer and more powerful than most countries in the world, and he is accountable to nobody. So what is his ultimate purpose in the COVID19 response that he has crafted, and that has crippled the economy of not only the United States, but virtually every other country of the world as well?

COVID19 Vaccine Makers Using Aborted Fetal Cells

For the second time in less than a week, Children of God for Life is calling out the pharmaceutical industry for the use of aborted fetal cell lines in potential Covid-19 vaccines. On March 25th, the organization exposed Moderna’s use of the aborted fetal cell line HEK 293. This time it’s Janssen Pharmaceutical, owned by Johnson and Johnson, that is using their PER C6 Ad5 technology, derived from an aborted baby’s retinal tissue. Dr. Alex van der Eb revealed the information on this abortion at FDA hearings in 2001: “So I isolated retina from a fetus, from a healthy fetus as far as could be seen, of 18 weeks old. There was nothing special with a family history or the pregnancy was completely normal up to the 18 weeks, and it turned out to be a socially indicated abortus – abortus provocatus, and that was simply because the woman wanted to get rid of the fetus… what was written down was unknown father, and that was, in fact, the reason why the abortion was requested.” In light of the fact that the US just signed a $450 million dollar contract with Johnson & Johnson to develop a Covid-19 vaccine, we are asking the public to contact President Trump who has denied federal funding for aborted fetal research. In light of the fact that the US just signed a $450 million dollar contract with Johnson & Johnson to develop a Covid-19 vaccine, we are asking the public to contact President Trump who has denied federal funding for aborted fetal research.

COVID19 Death Certificates are Being Manipulated According to Montana Physician with 30 Years Experience

Dr. Annie Bukacek is a board-certified internal medicine physician. She's been practicing medicine for over 30 years, mostly in Montana. She obtained her medical degree from the University of Illinois in Chicago, and completed her internship and residency at Oregon Health Sciences University. In 2019 she won the ACP laureate award for commitment to excellence in medical care in her community. She is also a member of the Flathead County Board of Health. Dr. Bukacek states: "The decision for unprecedented government mandated lock downs has been based on the alleged death rate of COVID19. Is this death rate based on truth? Are the reported deaths from COVID19 truly deaths from COVID19? To address this question we need to discuss death certificates, since death certificates are the basic source of information about mortality. History changing decisions are being made due to these figures, despite the fact that they are flat out wrong! Few people know how much individual power and leeway is given to the physician, coroner, or medical examiner signing the death certificate. How do I know this? I've been filling out death certificates for over 30 years. More often than we want to admit, we don't know with certainty the cause of death when we fill out death certificates. So even before we heard of COVID19, death certificates were based on assumptions and educated guesses that go unquestioned. When it comes to COVID19, there is the additional data skewer that is, get this, there is no universal definition of COVID19 death. The CDC, updated from yesterday, April 4th, still states that "mortality" data includes both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID19. Translation: the CDC counts both true COVID19 cases and speculative guesses of COVID19 the same.  They automatically over-estimate the real death numbers by their own admission."

CDC Tells Hospitals To List COVID as Cause of Death Even if There are No Test Results Confirming it

The problem with making informed decisions about coronavirus is that we don’t have a whole lot of data on it at the moment. The data that we do have, meanwhile, could end up being terminally skewed, particularly the data that’s been coming out of China. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance on determining COVID-19 as a cause of death isn’t going to help those numbers. Issued March 24, the guidance tells hospitals to list COVID-19 as a cause of death regardless of whether or not there’s actual testing to confirm that’s the case. Instead, even if the coronavirus was just a contributing factor or if it’s “assumed to have caused or contributed to death,” it can be listed as the primary cause.
