COVID Propagandist Dr. Wen Admits “We Are Overcounting COVID Deaths”

From the beginning of the pandemic, the powers that be have been overcounting COVID deaths and hospitalizations. They did this using the “with” versus “from” distinction, counting people who died in a hospital who had simply tested positive for COVID as a COVID death (death with COVID), even though it may have had nothing at all to do with their death. They should have only been counting deaths directly from COVID. But they wanted the numbers to look as bad as possible so they could justify their unconstitutional power grabs.

And among the COVID pandemic propaganda leaders has been Dr. Leana Wen, who appeared frequently on mainstream media outlets like CNN to vilify the unvaccinated, discredit alternative treatment options, and promote misinformation about the leftist COVID response agenda. But she’s recently changed her tune, likely because people are realizing how manipulated they were. Now, she’s admitting things that she previously fought very hard against, perhaps in some misguided effort to save face and not be considered a political activist quack. Last month, she published a Washington Post opinion piece where she finally admitted that natural COVID immunity is superior to vaccine induced COVID immunity, as supported by the same science she previously denied. And now, she’s admitting that they were overcounting COVID deaths and hospitalizations by manipulating language.

She’s about 3 years too late to the game, but she knows that. Some of us have been awake to this intentional manipulation from the beginning, but she was actively helping to keep people in the dark. Perhaps the most ethically egregious example of this manipulative overcounting was when they tried to manipulate public perception of the number of child COVID hospitalizations and deaths. The reality was (and still is) that children are at far less risk for serious COVID illness or death. And yet, the mainstream media were reporting horrifying numbers of child hospitalizations and deaths because they were counting every child in every hospital for every reason who happened to test positive upon entrance to the hospital (per case-manipulating policy) as a “COVID hospitalization.” Your kids breaks her wrist and tests positive before she’s allowed in to get it set? COVID hospitalization. Your son’s appendix ruptures and he tests positive before the surgery? COVID hospitalization. It was intended to make people more terrified of childhood COVID illness than they actually needed to be. That way they’d agree with school closures, masking kids, roping off playgrounds, and all manner of unnecessary response measures.

Don’t believe for a second that it was anything other than intentional. They have always known that they were overcounting because they were doing it on purpose to support their narrative and advance their agenda. And Dr. Wen has been in lockstep with them the entire way. It simply serves her interest now switch narratives.
