Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen anecdotal accounts of a non-COVID death being attributed to COVID.
Now, a few governments are admitting that they have “inflated” (i.e., lied about) the numbers of both COVID deaths and COVID hospitalizations.
Below are two examples.
(1) California
Chris Enloe reports for The Blaze that Alameda County in the San Francisco Bay Area, had revised its COVID-19 data methodology to only include people who directly died from COVID-19, resulting in a massive 25% decrease in its reported COVID-19 deaths from 1,634 to 1,223 — a decrease of 411.
Neetu Balram, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Public Health Department, said the 411 people removed from the county’s COVID-19 death toll died from causes “clearly not caused by COVID.”
Previously, Alameda County officials had included in their death toll any resident who died while infected the virus — not just those individuals who died directly from COVID-19.
(2) United Kingdom
The (UK) Telegraph reports, July 29, 2021, that National Health Service (NHS) official data reveal that as many as “One in four patients classed as a Covid hospitalisation is being treated for other reasons . . . prompting claims that the public has been misled.” Many patients categorized as Covid hospitalizations had another primary cause of admission. “The data shows that of 5,021 patients this week classed as hospitalised by Covid, 1,166 were admitted for other reasons.”
In some areas, almost one in three COVID hospitalizations was actually admitted for other reasons.
Tory MPs accused the Government of making “flawed decisions based on misleading data”, while leading scientists questioned why the true picture was only now beginning to emerge.
Prof. Carl Heneghan, the director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford, said: “This data is incredibly important, and this is information we should have had a very long time ago. We have been crying out for it for nearly 18 months. The Government might have made very different decisions about restrictions if it had access to data which actually measured the situation accurately.”
Last summer, Public Health England (PHE) was forced to make changes to the way it reported death figures after its methods were found to inflate total numbers by counting as a virus fatality anyone who tested positive for Covid and later died.

I think there is an insidiousness regarding why hospitals, particularly in the USA (I don’t know about Great Britain) but our hospitals were able to claim EXTRA MONIES from the Federal Government due to the “high fatality rate” from supposed Covid-19 deaths. Of course, they “needed” larger hand-outs to combat this “killer plague.” Why is it that when we follow the money trail, we often see “duplicitous accounting practices” such as this. Thankfully, in many instances, the American people were alerted to just how dishonest medical facilities, various states, and cities were being in order to garner larger shares of Federal funds . . . and our politicians, and large medical foundations wonder why the American people just plain do not trust them!
Great post DrE!
Agree Gracie—even Greek philosophers from centuries ago noted that “whatever is valued in a country will be developed there.” So….if our gov’t is valuing/rewarding Covid Cases reported in hospitals as ’cause of death, “then you can darn well be sure that almost EVERY death will be related as best possible to “Covid.” Human nature. Human failing. Human gov’t. corruption at its finest.
Human nature just does not change, even over thousands of years.
None of this surprises me. There’s actually NOTHING related to this COVID phenomenon that is carved-in-stone Truth. Everything we’re supposed to believe is demonstratively all over the chart, made up stats being laid out as truth-until proven false at which time they’re re-named “just a guess” or a “supposition”, and lets not forget all the absolutely STUPID safety rules, supposedly based on “Science” but actually either worthless or actually counter to the actual safe thing to do, I’m sorry-I know this has been a new experience for a lot of these “officials”, but Mankind has been surviving worse illnesses than this for hundreds of years without the Government of the time going THIS far to muddy the water and confuse the constituents. I have ZERO faith in the Government’s version of “the facts”.
Well said, truck!
You are so spot on so it behooves us to ask the question “Why” are they doing it? What is the profit angle to it for we all know someone is making money hand over fist while others are going bankrupt in all the small businesses.
$hocker, not.
Thank you Dr.E for this incredible post! We have been misled. I wonder how many states in our country have done the same thing! This is terrible!
Yes, anyone who fell off a ladder or died of the flu was “COVID-related”…
