If these patient die, covid might get added to their death certificate along with the other diagnoses. But the coronavirus was not the primary contributor to their death and often played no role at all.
Dretler is quick to add that the imprecise reporting is not because of bad intent. There is no truth to the conspiracy theory that hospitals are trying to exaggerate coronavirus numbers for some nefarious purpose. But, he said, “inadvertently overstating risk can make the anxious more anxious and the skeptical more skeptical.”

Now the RA RA vax pushers, are gazing into the stark reality of what they have done. They now have to take control of the backlash and minimize the damage to them. Karma is a bitch.

Dr Wen, known for her specious claims “We know that we can’t trust the unvaccinated,” and "We need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated,", now seems to be having a change of heart as the vaccines she pushed at the cost of human rights and medical ethics are being proven ineffective by continued deaths and hospitalizations among the vaccinated. She seems to want Emily Oster's pandemic amnesty, having already changed her mind on the unscientific "settled science" of masking children for a disease the rest of experienced professionals knew was becoming endemic and was incredibly low risk for children.
Her new article We are overcounting covid deaths and hospitalizations. That’s a problem. highlights what "conspiracy theorists" have been telling the devout COVID fanatics for three years.

As is frequently observed the narratives pivot before a tsumani of public sentiment is set to topple them, with convenient excuses why it's totally not intentional or anybody's fault. They knew that this anxiety and fear, now cited as detrimental, would drive people to ignore rational debate. It's also known that these campaigns erode trust in the entire medical establishment, which will impact public health and the uptake of other far more effective vaccines for decades. This is an entirely preventable crisis that dogmatic followers of "The Science" have caused. Do not buy it in three years when anti-vaxers are blamed for the increase in preventable diseases that are caused by the intentional deception of those in charge and who knew better than to replace unbiased pragmatism with irrational optimism.

Another tactic used, as with the CDC announcing an investigation of strokes or admission of vaccine realated cardiac conditions, is to claim obviously these things are not being covered up because they're doing something. This ignores that the CDC wasted a year not examining the VEARS safety signals that they told the public they were monitoring. All these excuses are nothing more than a post-script to absolve gross negligence motivated by greed and lust for power
Do not believe the lies and excuses. The agencies that are supposed to be responsible for using sound science to deliver measured public messenging have known that the vaccines were not as safe as claimed, not as effective as promised, and were being deployed under EUA for a disease that was being intentionally distorted to appear as far more dangerous than the numbers indicated. To protect their vested interests in poorly traced emergency funds flowing and to increase their personal and agency for-profit participation in billions to pharma, they worked with unscrupulous officials and big tech to censor the truth to promote misinformation across virtually all platforms.
Dr Wen may want pandemic amnesty, but I encourage people to remember that there was no mercy given to those who chose rational risk-based decisions over media driven fear and that it was not rational science that drove them to encourage families to disown those not willing to be driven to vaccination centers like herds of cattle. None of them were defending free speech or transparent science, but only settled science dogma that was based on lies and viciously defended by authoritarian bootlickers that wanted to violate human rights to make themselves feel rightous.
Believe your eyes and ears, not revisionist historians that want to make excuses for crimes against humanity and claim that they were working with the best information available. They were working with the information they provided to the exclusion of all other data and they are still doing their best to discredit and smear anything that goes against their religion of The Science. They are shifting their positions because it only gets worse from here and they're fully aware of it.

Right, the entire pandemic has been a fabricated psy-op designed to scare everyone

The Science, like the Roman Catholic Church before it, is a dogmatic faith that has to drive out gnostics who promote the idea that truth might not always be solely derived from establishment doctrine.
Expulsion from the community, censorship of their words, and their label of heretic, does look a little different in the 2020 era. It's no less irrational. It's driven by the same lust for the power, to rule by holy mandates over a fearful and obedient population forever tithing for the promise of salvation and proselytizing for the glory of their god.
It the same car with a shiny futuristic trim.
Why did this happen, and I think it goes back to my 50 years ago thought... Today we live in a 24/7 365-day minute by minute world and those in charge felt they can't just say we do not know yet as a viable answer, so they must give an answer no matter what and then suggest you cannot disagree with it because it is "science".

This was a global pandemic (real or not). So the implication is this nefarious plot would have been orchestrated by world leaders across all corners of the planet.
Essentially your post implies that nearly all world leaders worked in collaboration to invent or grossly exaggerate its severity. Not too mention millions of pertinent health workers all over the World not associated with government or big corp.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just amused by the prospect of that being true. It's 2023 and we can barely come together to achieve a myriad of incredibly important international issues, but we can seemingly all unify wonderfully to orchestrate a pandemic in this particular case. Rather peculiar; all I am saying.

I sometimes think what COIVD would have looked like 50 years ago. I think we can all agree no one really knew much in the beginning of it all outside of maybe some really bad new virus is recking havoc in China.
50 years ago, all this would have gone on a long time before anyone in the general population would have a clue anything was going on.
And I need to ask is that really a bad thing that no one would know?
Everything would have slowed down

Science that most times ended up being nothing more than a Wild Ass Guess.
This is the social media of today, so I don't see it getting better...
