Reports from NTD and Epoch Times highlight a suspicious drop of 21 million cell phone subscriptions in China during the early stages of the pandemic in 2020. While Chinese citizens use phones for essential services, the sharp decline suggests a much higher death toll than officially reported. The hosts revisit this statistic, which they first covered in early 2020, as a potential indicator of the CCP's lack of transparency.

Doctors in China have reportedly been instructed to avoid listing COVID-19 as the cause of death on official certificates, attributing fatalities to underlying conditions like heart disease or asthma instead. This directive aims to keep official mortality numbers low during the current virus surge. The hosts also discuss the narrative shift in the West, where the new wave of variants is being blamed on China's "re-opening."

Dr. Leana Wen published an op-ed in the Washington Post claiming that COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations have been overcounted, sparking backlash from the political left. Critics, including Jeff Jarvis, accused Wen of playing into "anti-science" campaigns and right-wing disinformation. This shift in Wen's public stance is compared to other figures like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi, who have faced similar criticism for questioning establishment narratives.

Media coverage of the COVID-19 wave in India featured sensationalist imagery of burning pyres in New Delhi. A reporter claimed that the dead had to "join a queue" to be processed, which the hosts mock as an absurd way to describe the backlog at crematoriums. The segment criticizes the media's insistence that death tolls "must be much higher" than reported.

CBS News reports on data showing that deaths among vaccinated individuals now outnumber those among the unvaccinated. A medical expert explains that this is due to "age adjustment," as the majority of high-risk elderly people are vaccinated. The hosts criticize the report for pivoting the data into a recommendation for more booster shots.

Dr. Russell Blalock and other critics argue that the COVID-19 vaccines are linked to a "human tragedy of biblical proportions" and potential depopulation efforts. Concerns are raised regarding the lack of long-term safety studies, particularly for pregnant women and infants, as Moderna plans to test vaccines on babies as young as three months. The discussion cites rising instances of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome and myocarditis as evidence of vaccine harm.

The Indian government rejected a WHO report claiming 4.7 million people died of COVID-19 in India, nearly ten times the official count. Indian media accused the WHO of targeting India while being "soft" on China's data. The term "lakh" (100,000) is explained in the context of Indian reporting.

Despite the slowing of the Omicron surge, concerns have emerged regarding the low supply of Pfizer's antiviral pill, Paxlovid. Only a quarter of U.S. counties have doses available, forcing doctors to prioritize which patients receive the treatment. This scarcity has led to accusations of artificial demand creation or the emergence of "death panels" to decide life-saving care.

Johns Hopkins University released a statistic stating that one in every 500 Americans has died from COVID-19. Analysts question the accuracy of this figure, arguing it conflates those who died "with" the virus versus "from" the virus. The actual case fatality rate is suggested to be significantly lower than the reported 0.2% of the total population.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes reports on several conservative and anti-vaccine figures who have died from COVID-19, including radio host Mark Bernier and activist Caleb Wallace. Hayes also notes that attorney John Pierce, who represents January 6th defendants, was reportedly hospitalized on a ventilator.

### COVID-19 Death Count Discrepancies and Hospital Incentives

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1352-race-norming/chapter/covid-19-death-count-discrepancies-and-hospital-incentives.md

The methodology for counting COVID-19 deaths is criticized for being overly broad, often including any death occurring within 28 days of a positive test regardless of the actual cause. Financial incentives for hospitals to label patients as COVID-positive are cited as a reason for potential overcounting. Independent reviews in Canada have reportedly found significant portions of recorded COVID deaths to be miscategorized.

NPR reported that the global COVID-19 death toll has officially surpassed 3 million, citing Johns Hopkins University data. The report suggested the actual count is likely higher due to misattribution to the flu, despite flu deaths being at historic lows. Critics labeled the report "Ministry of Truth" propaganda for claiming that U.S. death rate declines are solely due to vaccine rollouts while ignoring natural immunity and seasonal trends.

The National Cathedral in Washington D.C. rang its bells for one hour to commemorate 500,000 COVID-19 deaths, a gesture the hosts suggest should have lasted 28 days to represent every individual. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden led a moment of silence, utilizing the President's personal history with grief to create a relatable narrative for the nation.
