1. Saw it, knew it was bullshit, moved on.

That's the way stuff like this should be handled!

[Stallion]

2. Its Their New Rational-It Is EVERYWHERE-its being Amplified Across the Internet

[underpants]

3. Yeah. I saw it on a tweet

from Dinesh D’Souza. Doktor Zoom from Wonkette posted this explanation.

4. by that standard literally no one ever died of AIDS

as in not a single solitary person.

[lettucebe]

23. AIDS itself doesn't kill -- it causes other problems that do, but is still listed as AIDS death

Statistics can be made to pretty much explain anything away.

So for those who claim the Covid-19 deaths are over counted, how do they explain the 180,000 excess deaths? Every year we keep statistics on causes of death. This year we have an excess over the norm of 180,000 (this # changes by the minute). So, if not Covid-19, what is causing these deaths?

Suddenly everyone with a heart condition is going into respiratory failure? How? It makes no sense, but these fools want something, anything to hang onto to claim Covid-19 is no big deal.

[DBoon]

30. Actually more than 180,000 unexplained deaths

We have a bump in the death rate that exceeds reported Covid deaths by 20%. If anything we are under-reporting Covid mortality.

You point is even more valid.

[AleksS]

5. Yup. According to these fools

AIDS isn’t anything to worry about either, since AIDS literally killed 0 people on its own. Of course it causes the deaths of tens of thousands worldwide every year by destroying their immune system and allowing other opportunistic diseases to strike and actually do the killing, but the HIV virus itself has never ever killed anyone—so we shouldn’t worry about it, right?

But these COVIDIOTS don’t understand that a person might have lived a lot longer with obesity, high blood pressure, or even cancer. When COVID turned their lungs to jello, that precipitated their death, regardless of what else was going on.

Frickin idiots. I hate them. Very much.

6. They don't test for flu when they count someone a flu death

I read an article by a doctor that states that. If a person has flu like symptoms and they die of pneumonia they call it a flu death and they come up with a number every year 20,000 or whatever

[underpants]

10. Jon Oliver did an excellent piece on coroner's and medical examiners

There’s no certification of them. Professional memberships yes but I don’t like there’s an actual accreditation. Some states have no work or education requirements. Some are actually elected.

I had no idea.

[PSPS]

7. This canard is popping up on message boards everywhere.

[underpants]

8. Yeah that's why I posted it

I saw it on Twitter and thought WHAAAAT? Less than 10,000 deaths? This must be BS.

Sure enough it is but that won’t stop them.

[Roland99]

9. Yeah...anyone with at least one firing synapse knows this

which explains why local news FB groups were INUNDATED by dozens of trolls posting the SAME LINK under every article.

I swear, I saw over 20 comments from different people with the SAME link in a local news FB group this afternoon.

[underpants]

13. Haven't seen it there yet

I’m sure I will though.

[Roland99]

14. it just EXPLODED about lunchtime today.

Breitbart and Townhall picked it up and then it just took off like trump fleeing an ethics commission.

[underpants]

15. That's a good line about Trump.

Stealing it.

[Roland99]

16. Goferit!

[Grokenstein]

11. Tomorrow they'll have moved on to their next twisted-up bit of bullshit.

But they'll never be able to (ir)rationalize away how, whenever they decide to "open up" safety be damned, two weeks later the number of cases goes through the roof.

[underpants]

12. I think they hold onto this one for a while

It loops right into the anti-mask and conspiracy theories. As noted above is all over message boards and social media.

[Walleye]

17. Sounds like Putin propaganda to me.

So is the Brazilian government part of our deep state?

[underpants]

18. That's probably the third reference I've seen today about Brazil

I have to look that up

[Walleye]

19. Brazil has a high number of deaths as well. I don't think they're lying to make trump look bad

[underpants]

20. Ah!

Gotcha. Thanks.

[Ms. Toad]

21. Ran into it and countered it already. n/t

22. ✅

24. Q idiots strike again. My SiL had covid. She was diagnosed with Pneumonia by a doctor

Last edited Mon Aug 31, 2020, 01:54 PM - Edit history (1)

while she had covid. She had severe headaches. And couldn't breathe. And had rashes.

Now if she died, would we be surprised if they put C-19 AND Pneumonia on the death certificate? Or "respiratory issues" OR "circulation/clotting issues"? She had them all.

She was not obese or past 65 and was not sick with any of that shit before c-19.

ALL the other causes of deaths these idiots are pushing as "NOT COVID!" are complications caused BY COVID!

John Hopkins is quite clear on that.

What type of damage can coronavirus cause in the lungs?
COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, can cause lung complications such as pneumonia and, in the most severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. Sepsis, another possible complication of COVID-19, can also cause lasting harm to the lungs and other organs.

Dumb asses look for ANYTHING to yell "Hoax!"

[leftyladyfrommo]

25. One of our right wingers posted that on Neighborhood. nt

[underpants]

26. Neighborhood?

I joined that because a coworker who lives in the city said there were all kinds of crazy posts in the middle of the night and even some gossip.

I live in the ‘burbs - all the posts on mine are about power washers and good drywall companies.

[leftyladyfrommo]

27. We have some right wingers trying to convince their

neighbors that they don't need to take precautions like wearing a mask. These numbers are all over blown and yada yada yada.

[Alex4Martinez]

28. It's their new HOAX.

But any medical professional will tell you that comorbidity is listed routinely, it does not matter, this is another attempt by the shithole to corrupt an agency.

And people will believe it because they want to.

It's seriously fascism like any other historic example.

[Wounded Bear]

29. And as usual, the RW sound bite is easier to digest then the facts...

which require a little bit of effort to comprehend.

Been getting that "6%" bullshit on another board. Hard to argue with people who think in sound bites.
