Fox News anchor Bret Baier confronted CDC Director Rochelle Walensky Sunday over several topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including whether she could explain how many COVID deaths in the United States are “from COVID” versus “with COVID.”
What is the background?
More than 836,000 Americans have died from COVID, but the government has yet to distinguish deaths from COVID and deaths with COVID. The key difference being: Did the person die from their COVID infection or did they die for another reason, but tested positive for COVID before they passed away?
In fact, the CDC explains that up to 95% — or perhaps even more — of all COVID deaths happened in Americans with co-morbidities or other conditions.
“There were co-morbidities or other conditions listed on the death certificate for as many as 95% of all COVID-19 deaths,” the CDC explains. “The other 5% of death certificates in which COVID-19 was the only condition listed was likely related to a lack of detail listed about other conditions present at the time of death.”
What happened Sunday?
During an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” anchor Bret Baier confronted Walensky about whether she could explain how many Americans have died from COVID versus with COVID.
“How many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to COVID are ‘from COVID’ or how many are ‘with COVID,’ but they had other co-morbidities? Do you have that breakdown?” Baier asked.
Walensky, however, failed to provide the breakdown.
“Yes, of course with Omicron we’re following that very carefully,” Walensky said “Our death registry, of course, takes a few weeks to — and is a — takes a few weeks to collect, and of course, Omicron has just been with us for a few weeks, but those data will be forthcoming.”
Later in the interview, Baier asked Walensky if her leadership has eroded the public’s trust in the CDC, which she promised to repair when Joe Biden appointed her to lead the agency.
“Do you think that it’s fair to say that the trust and confidence the public has gone down with the CDC?” Baier asked.
In response, Walenksy noted how “hard” her job has been.
“You know, this is hard,” Walenksy said. “We have ever-evolving science with an ever-evolving variant and my job is to provide updated guidance in the context of rapidly rising cases. And that is what we’ve done and I’m here to explain it to the American people and I’m committed to continuing to do so and to continuing to improve.”
Wow! Now we have the facts!
1 – Covid is just about over! – and-
2 – Covid is growing exponentially!
It’s so good to have ‘leaders’ who know what they’re talking about!
You know who the ‘leaders’ are – they used to call themselves ‘representatives’!
Yes and we also know that prior to covid over 69,000 people in the U.S. died from the “common flu” whether or not they had the flu vaccine. They’re misleading the public into thinking that getting the covid vaccine will prevent the “spread”. No, like the flu the vaccine “helps” you to get less severe symptoms, but it does NOTHING to stop the spread. Vaccinated or unvaccinated, you can still “spread” the virus.
According to the CDC, at least 95% of the “Covid deaths” occurred in people who had co-morbidities and other conditions. That means that of the 836,000 “Covid deaths,” only 41,800 actually died from Covid. And even that number is questionable because, also according to the CDC, “The other 5% of death certificates in which COVID-19 was the only condition listed was likely related to a lack of detail listed about other conditions present at the time of death.” Something is rotten in Denmark.
‘
That means that potentially NONE of the 836,000 actually died from Covid.
My husband walked off his job today. They’re enforcing the mask mandate. He has medical issues which would give him more problems wearing a mask. But his job is going along with this charade Biden has in place. It has not gone through the supreme court to put this into effect as of yet. And by what we understand now it will take the Supreme court months to come to a verdict which should have been taken care of a long time ago. He has vacation time he could use but they won’t let him use that so were without money until whenever. We all know the Biden Nazis are going over the supreme courts head on this mandate, but the supreme court is doing nothing for anyone for months. We will not get the vaccine or wear mask. People need to stick together on this. He was the only one who had balls enough to walk out. The others followed along like sheep and stayed at the job. But the other plant that is affiliated with this plant we learned that more people walked out of their job. He also called other jobs they said you would not believe how many calls they got today for people wanting to switch their job because of the mandates. Something needs to be done about this it is really unfair to people who do want to work for a living. As far a senator that’s a joke to I got a hold of our senator and can can’t do anything either. So what hell are we paying these people for. It’s also said the mask and vaccine do nothing for the new virus. So doesn’t that make it null and void. Please people if anyone has an idea on how to go about all of this let us know. Our congress does not care what happens to the working class people why should they. They get a check every pay day weather they work or not when our job is finished, we don’t get a check. PLEASE READ WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE MORE OF US THEN THE NAZI REGIME. THANK YOU, GOD BLESS, ALL OF US.
Cali quit performing Autopsies on all deceased in March 2020. All were Covaids deaths..
I also wanted ad that if you fell out of airplaine with no parachute in 2020-2021, your COD would have been Co-Co-Covaids
Walensky’s response sounds a lot like Psaki’s “we’ll circle around to that”.
Psaki, what a little female “Gerbels” propagandist she is or rather tries to be.
On any direct question about major issues Americans care about, she “dodges” but not very well.
They r losing control…
If the Vaxx- ine works, why doesn’t work?
If the booster works, why doesn’t the booster work?
If Vaxx – ed people can get the vid & spread it Why Vax at all? WHY boosters?
DO NOT Get the Jabba..
