### Comorbidities in COVID-19 Deaths and Booster Series

- **Episode:** [1415: Equity Hotel](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1415-equity-hotel.md)
- **Published:** 2022-01-09
- **Time:** 17:01–18:33
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1415-equity-hotel/chapter/comorbidities-in-covid-19-deaths-and-booster-series.md

Director Walensky revealed that over 75% of COVID-19 deaths occurred in individuals with at least four comorbidities, such as obesity and diabetes. This data is being viewed as a significant walk-back from previous alarmist rhetoric regarding the risk to the general population. Additionally, the terminology has shifted from a "booster shot" to a "booster series," implying a recurring vaccination schedule.

### Surrogacy and Pregnancy, Vaccine Indications

- **Episode:** [1413: Flurona](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1413-flurona.md)
- **Published:** 2022-01-03
- **Time:** 51:10–53:59
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1413-flurona/chapter/surrogacy-and-pregnancy-vaccine-indications.md

A gestational surrogate reports that fertility clinics are now "extremely strongly" recommending vaccines, treating pregnancy as an "indication" for the shot rather than an exception. The terminology suggests that medical institutions now view pregnancy as a comorbidity similar to obesity or heart disease. This has created contractual complications for unvaccinated surrogates and intended parents.

### South Carolina Case Calculation and CDC Lawsuit

- **Episode:** [1318: Jab and Go](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1318-jab-and-go.md)
- **Published:** 2021-02-04
- **Time:** 21:02–24:16
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1318-jab-and-go/chapter/south-carolina-case-calculation-and-cdc-lawsuit.md

The South Carolina Department of Health changed its "percent positive" calculation method, resulting in a drop from 21.6% to 8.8%. Simultaneously, a lawsuit reported by The National File alleges the CDC illegally altered hospital reporting guidelines for COVID-19 deaths. The suit claims these changes inflated fatality numbers by up to 1600% by misclassifying underlying causes and comorbidities.

### Global COVID-19 Death Toll Discrepancies

- **Episode:** [1317: Mutants](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1317-mutants.md)
- **Published:** 2021-02-01
- **Time:** 22:31–24:12
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1317-mutants/chapter/global-covid-19-death-toll-discrepancies.md

The United States and United Kingdom report significantly higher COVID-19 death tolls compared to African nations like Nigeria. In the UK, death statistics include anyone who tested positive within 28 days of death, regardless of the primary cause. The disparity is attributed to the use of prophylactic treatments in other countries and the potential over-counting of deaths in Western nations.

### CDC Death Counts, Comorbidities, Hospice Care Data

- **Episode:** [1290: Hairy Legs](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1290-hairy-legs.md)
- **Published:** 2020-10-31

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1290-hairy-legs/chapter/cdc-death-counts-comorbidities-hospice-care-data.md

Updated CDC data reveals that COVID-19 is rarely the sole cause of death, with many fatalities attributed to underlying conditions like pneumonia, heart disease, and renal failure. The report notes that a significant portion of recorded COVID deaths involved patients already in hospice care or suffering from terminal illnesses. Media outlets like CNN are criticized for presenting these figures without context regarding pre-existing conditions.

### COVID-19 Long-Term Effects, COVID Toe, Smell-O-Vision

- **Episode:** [1290: Hairy Legs](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1290-hairy-legs.md)
- **Published:** 2020-10-31

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1290-hairy-legs/chapter/covid-19-long-term-effects-covid-toe-smell-o-vision.md

A discussion on the long-term effects of COVID-19 covers "COVID toe," a condition where toes turn yellow and appear to rot. The hosts remain skeptical of many reported long-term symptoms, comparing them to the lingering effects of a severe flu. They also briefly reminisce about failed historical attempts to integrate "smell-o-vision" technology into computers and media.

### HIV Trial Model, Recruiting Minority Groups for Vaccines

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1258-dummy-placebo/chapter/hiv-trial-model-recruiting-minority-groups-for-vaccines.md

Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins discussed using the recruitment model from historical HIV trials to reach minority communities for COVID-19 vaccine testing. They emphasized the need for high representation from African American, Latinx, and Native American populations due to higher susceptibility and underlying comorbidities. The goal is to ensure the Phase 3 trials are properly representative of the groups hardest hit by the pandemic.

### Medical Mechanisms of COVID-19 and Comorbidities

- **Episode:** [1245: Mask Up!](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1245-mask-up.md)
- **Published:** 2020-05-31

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1245-mask-up/chapter/medical-mechanisms-of-covid-19-and-comorbidities.md

Medical researchers discuss the biological mechanisms of COVID-19, focusing on how the virus latches onto ACE-2 receptors. The conversation explores why older men with comorbidities like hypertension or prostate issues are at higher risk. They hypothesize that the virus may be man-made and discuss how certain treatments can inhibit the virus from entering cells.

### Illinois Health Director on COVID-19 Death Classification

- **Episode:** [1242: Smokin' Hot](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1242-smokin-hot.md)
- **Published:** 2020-05-17
- **Time:** 29:56–31:41
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1242-smokin-hot/chapter/illinois-health-director-on-covid-19-death-classification.md

The Illinois State Health Director admitted during a press conference that any decedent testing positive for COVID-19 is listed as a COVID death, even if they were in hospice for a terminal illness. This confirmation of broad classification rules supports claims that the official death toll is being artificially inflated. The hosts note that this contradicts Dr. Fauci's testimony regarding undercounting.

### COVID-19 Death Coding, Pre-existing Condition Statistics

- **Episode:** [1232: GuangoCast](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1232-guangocast.md)
- **Published:** 2020-04-12
- **Time:** 9:45–11:58
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1232-guangocast/chapter/covid-19-death-coding-pre-existing-condition-statistics.md

Dr. Birx admits that the current protocol in the United States is to record any death of an individual with a COVID-19 infection as a COVID-19 death, regardless of pre-existing conditions. The hosts argue this practice skews data by including deaths caused by heart or kidney issues. They cite reports from hospital specialists claiming that coding practices are intentionally inflating the mortality rate.
