Odd that they would cite a reference that was old and out of date, that was admittedly biased, and not the newer data that they said would have accumulated by now. As for the current charts and figures of total Covid deaths cited in the CNN article, there have actually been studies done that are finding that many more people have had the disease than what is being reported, as shown here, here, here and here, which indicates that those percentages might be inaccurate. And then there are some who are saying that intubating Covid patients has been doing more harm than good and may be contributing to the higher death rates, suggesting that other treatments, such as drugs that have been successful in treating the disease would be more effective and would likely have saved many lives.
There has been so much controversy over this in the media that it's become an outright battle, with the POTUS on the one side, favoring treatment with medications, while the other side is saying that those drugs donât work and the only solution is to vaccinate everyone. And because this is an election year, the president is being vehemently attacked, such as with reporters stating that he doesnât deserve to be re-elected, due to the death toll from Covid being worse than the Vietnam War. So, elevating the actual death toll from Covid could conceivably be an attempt to make the POTUS look bad, and would therefore constitute an agenda, which isn't 'secret' by the way.
But because the media is aligned with one side of these political ideologies or the other, I was simply seeking to clarify that our organization does not favor one view over the other, and I knew Jerry would never suggest that they did. Sorry for the confusion.
