Doing the Math
In this piece, I combine everyone's 2 favorite things - math and covid!
Updated January 2, 2022.
There are about 330,000,000 Americans, according to the Census Bureau (as of July 23, 2020). [archive]
According to Dr. Fauci, 560,000 Americans have been killed by covid-19 (see 58:57 in this video).
If you do the math, 560,000 Americans = 0.17% of Americans.
This might give some the impression that it is, then, a true fact that 0.17% of Americans have died from covd-19. There are other factors that this figure ignores.
I have no delusions that I can account for all of them. But I happen to know one or two.
Early on, the CDC officially announced to medical professionals that they can record deaths of patients as being caused by covid-19 without testing for it. You may have heard of cases in which a person dies from something other than covid-19, but their death is recorded as being caused by covid-19 because they tested positive for the flu (covid). But did you know that they don’t even have to test for it? Did you know that they can just conclude that a death is caused by covid-19 without testing for it in the first place? When the guidelines themselves allow for it, what is to prevent them from lying? [archive]
Let x equal the number of times a death certificate was filled out to indicate that the patient died from covid-19 when they died of other causes and let n equal the number of Americans who have actually died from covid-19.
0.17% - x = n
We have no way of knowing the value of x. How could we ever hope to know how many times a persons’ death has been falsely attributed to covid-19?
But wait! There’s more!
According to the CDC in their chart of “COVID-19 deaths with contributing conditions",
For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4.0 additional conditions or causes per death.

I have to wonder if hospitals might have some sort of financial incentive to inflate those numbers. They wouldn’t receive more money from the government (that is, from tax payers) if they inflate the numbers, would they? Nah, they’re not fallible like we. They are not subject to human failings like greed and ambition. They wouldn’t be dishonest for money. They’re doctors and nurses. They are without sin, the new holy and infallible priesthood.
Oh wait.
They are human and they do have a financial incentive to report more cases of covid-19 according to the CDC [archive] and the media [archive].
Let z represent their incentive to inflate the numbers. According to Dr. Malone1, this inflation is “quite large.” According to Dr. Malone, z would equal “something like” $3,0002 per recorded death by covid-19.
At any rate, we must multiply x by z.
0.17% - xz = n
But we don’t know the numerical value of x or z. So we do not know the numerical value of n. We only know that if those figures from the Census Bureau and Fauci are correct, then less than 0.17% of Americans have died from covid-19, that is, that less than 560,000 Americans have died from it. There may never be a true count.
Even if that figure from Fauci were accurate, far more Americans die from other causes according to the CDC. [archive] If, for example, more Americans die from cancer and if possibly more Americans die from auto-accidents or from smoking or from poor diet leading to deaths from things like heart disease, stroke or diabetes, or even, potentially from the flu or pneumonia, then why haven’t drastic measures, even the blatant violation of people’s rights, been taken for these causes of death?
Here’s the CDC’s figures,
Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
Heart disease: 659,041
Cancer: 599,601
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 173,040
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 156,979
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,005
Alzheimer’s disease: 121,499
Diabetes: 87,647
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 51,565
Influenza and Pneumonia: 49,783
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,511
Since I mentioned smoking, let me remind us all that tobacco companies can pay to ensure “the” science “said” that smoking cigarettes was safe just like pharmaceutical companies (like Johnson and Johnson which has been sued many times for their products) can pay to ensure “the” science says their vaccines are safe.
A single death is sad. Thousands of deaths are far more sad.
Let us not, however, fail to maintain proportion and, well, sanity.
Professional liars, politicians, pharmaceutical representatives, lawyers, talking heads in the media, and so on - they all hack away at the Tree of Liberty.
They incited fear and out of fear we handed them the axes they use to plunder lumber from the Tree. We must regain sanity, defend Liberty. We must wrest the axes from their greedy grip and never let them attack the Tree of Liberty again.
On his website, Dr. Malone says he is “an internationally recognized scientist/physician and the original inventor of mRNA vaccination as a technology, DNA vaccination, and multiple non-viral DNA and RNA/mRNA platform delivery technologies…” and much more. On his Substack, he describes himself as, “Inventor of mRNA & DNA vaccines, RNA as a drug. Scientist, physician, writer, podcaster, commentator and advocate. Believer in our fundamental freedom of free speech.”
Dr. Malone said, “There’s something like a $3,000 basically death benefit to a hospital if it can be claimed to be covid. There’s a financial incentive to call somebody covid positive. The CDC made the determination in year one - this is why all of our baseline data is junk…the hospitals receive a bonus from the government - I think it’s like 3,000 bucks - if someone is hospitalized and able to be declared covid positive. They also receive a bonus - I think the total is something like 30,000 in incentive if somebody gets put on the vent. Then they get a bonus if somebody is declared dead with covid. OK? So they have an incentive at the front end to declare somebody covid - a covid case - the CDC made the determination that they they were going to make a core assumption - if PCR positive - the - and you die, that is death due to covid and so the the extreme example just to to show the absurdity, if the patient comes in with a bullet hole to the head and they do a nose swab and they come up PCR positive, they’re determine to have died from covid when in fact they died from lead poisoning.”
Didn't the CDC recently state that as many as 80% of the covid 19 deaths were actual from other causes. That would give a number for X and there is an letter out there on the web that a doctor in the midwest was send that give the incentives from medicare/medicaid for having deaths as covid. That should give you Z. That number was in the ballpark of $10,000 additional dollars for patient on respirator and half (?) as much for a covid diagnoses.
