Stats now show that the mortality rate for the coronavirus is
hardly more than the seasonal flu. And when this is all over, it may even be
Trump was right all along. But the left mocked him as they
elevated Dr. Anthony Fauci to sainthood. It turns out, this “expert” deceived
The mortality rate for the coronavirus dropped from WHO’s estimate
of 3.4% to 2% to Fauci claiming it was 1%, and therefore ten times deadlier
than the seasonal flu. (He plucked the 1% figure out of thin air, since there was
insufficient data to make such a claim).
Now we learn that the overall mortality rate for this virus is not
3.4% or 2% or even 1% Instead, the mortality rate is around .26%.
Yes, you read that right. .26%.
Per a recent report at
PJ Media, the current CDC numbers for
coronavirus mortality rates, broken down by age group, are as follows:
- 0-49 years old: .05%
- 50-64 years old: .2%
- 65+ years old: 1.3%
The rate drops further because the CDC’s .4% estimate is based on
symptomatic cases (which comprise 65% of all cases). When they factor in
asymptomatic cases, the figure drops to .26%.
When, and if, we start to conduct large scale antibody testing,
that number will continue to drop. Meanwhile, there’s reason to believe it’s
already lower due to inflated death counts imposed by hospitals and others.
Some put the inflation as high as 25%.
Then there’s the Fauci factor, as Red State further reports (bolded
emphasis is mine) Disclaimer: I’m not responsible for your blood pressure at
But the worst part is that we’ve known for
a while, with absolute certainty, that he never believed a word of it himself.
In case you hadn’t heard, he made sure to let his peers know he wasn’t that
As first reported by Sharyl Attkisson,
in a February 28 articleaddressed
to his fellow researchers published at the esteemed New England Journal
of Medicine’s website, Fauci not only gave a quite different take on
the threat COVID-19 posed than the one he would soon start peddling to the
American public. He even explained exactly why the stats he would go on
to spend the next month terrorizing us with were bogus! [snip]
Fauci notes that the frighteningly high
fatality numbers we were hearing for COVID-19 were sure to be grossly inflated
because “the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several
times as high as the number of reported cases.”
Hence, Fauci explained to his fellow
The overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may
ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a
case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%).
As written at Red State: “Choosing a more brazen liar to lead the
nation’s response to COVID-19 would have probably been impossible.”
So the good news is this
virus is no more fatal than the season flu and the vulnerable demographic is
The very, very horrible
enraging surreal shocking unthinkable news is that a calculating madman led the
country down a path into darkness. The destruction done to our economy, to
people’s lives, to our psyche, to our Constitution, and quite likely to our
election in November, is incalculable.
Fauci must be held
accountable. But even if he is (and I doubt he will be), it won’t help us
recover from the damage that has been done. Pure evil reached its tentacles
into all of our lives. One knows not whether to sob or scream.
We must persevere. We
must all be strong. And may God bless us all.
