Analysis of death certificates: The number of deaths from the epidemic in Washington state is overstated

A nursing home in New Jersey is putting people suffering from Pneumonia into ambulances.

A new analysis of death certificates shows that the number of deaths in Washington state due to the Chinese communist virus (Wuhan Pneumonia) has been artificially inflated.

, a free Foundation (Freedom Foundation), a think-tank in a research report published in May, the ministry of health announced Washington state the total number of deaths from disease have been exaggerated by as much as 13%, because they will each of the communist party of China the virus detection positive were counted, even if the cause of death is not caused by the virus infection.

State officials later acknowledged that some of the deaths attributed to the outbreak were not actually caused by a COVID-19 infection.

Katie Hutchinson, director of health statistics at the Washington State Department of Health, told reporters at a telephone briefing that a few of the deaths were actually caused by gunshot wounds. Officials are investigating 3,000 death certificates that show symptoms similar to those of a COVID-19 infection, but it is unclear whether the deaths were caused by COVID-19.

In an internal email, Ms. Hutchinson said that “theoretically” the example cited in the Liberty report was “correct” in that a person who tested positive for the virus and died in a car crash a month later was counted as having died from a covid-12 infection.

About a month later, health officials reported changes in the death toll from the outbreak. “So far, when deaths have been reported as the result of a communist virus, it has only been proven that the deceased also tested positive for the virus,” the health ministry official told a news conference. However, this statistic includes not only those who have died from the communist virus, but also those who may have died from other causes.”

But even with those changes, a new analysis by the Freedom Foundation shows that health officials in Washington state still vastly overstate the number of deaths caused by the communist virus, and that as many as hundreds of people may have been wrongly attributed to it.

The foundation said it analyzed nearly 2,000 death certificates and found no information related to the virus in 170 of them. Another 171 deaths were attributed to the communist virus as a possible contributing factor.

“Make no mistake,” Aaron Withe, the national director of the Freedom Foundation, said in a statement. We’re not talking about some inadvertent accounting error. That was the behavior of a state agency under Governor Jay Inslee. The agency continues to do so even though it has been found to be misrepresenting the number of people who have died from the outbreak.”

Mike Faulk, a spokesman for Governor Inslee of Washington state, told the EPOCH Times in an e-mailed statement: “The twisted political efforts to make the people who have died of COVID-19 disappear are unconvincing and low class. We mourn the loss of life. We will continue to fight to save lives. You can contact the U.S. Department of Health to learn more about their data collection and how much better the data collection system is compared to what this unqualified black money think tank is trying to accomplish.”

The Health Department and John Wiesman, the Washington state secretary of health, did not respond to requests for comment.

Washington Governor Michael Inslee said in May that the death toll was based on “official documentation, the best information we can get from local health officials.”

On December 10th health officials in Washington state said they would make another change to the way deaths are reported.

Officials will not use the preliminary assessment of the cause of death in the results published by the Ministry of Health, but will only use the officially registered cause of death. Officials will no longer assume that the death was caused by a communist virus if the victim tested positive 28 days before his or her death. Until now, officials have tied positive tests within 60 days of death to the person’s death.

Officials said in a statement that the changes would provide “more accurate reporting.”

The same pattern was found in other states in July.

At least 22 states have included unconfirmed cases or deaths in their outbreak statistics. An investigation at the time found that these cases of “probable” infection with the communist virus were based on symptoms and other general characteristics.

This is one of six ways in which the accuracy of epidemic data is diluted.
