as soon as it came out that hospitals were getting paid more for covid deaths/ covid reporting... this was gonna be the case.

Many medical people on this site explained how that would be counter-intuitive for hospitals to do.

I usually like crowder, but the clip he chose to start that video is horrendous.

One hypothetical outlier doesn’t mean every single case is like that.

There are not nearly as many deaths as we thought there would be. His “side” was right. Why is there the need to create this narrative of false hospital reporting?

Congrats on swallowing a talking point from 3 months ago that has since been debunked.

If you include China, Iran, and Brazil the world wide count is vastly unreported.

Anyone saying "change my mind" is close minded from the jump.

Then you will have to explain how total US deaths from weeks 13-20 of this year is 530,833 while weeks 13-20 of last year total deaths were only 437,907. A difference of 92,926. Covid deaths as of week ended May 16 (week 20) were 90,324.
