Johns Hopkins Retracts Article Saying COVID-19 Has 'Relatively No Effect on Deaths' in U.S.

Conventional wisdom is that COVID-19 has caused thousands of deaths in the United States and nearly 1.5 million worldwide. This perception was directly challenged by an article published by Johns Hopkins University (JHU) on November 22. The article was later retracted because it “was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the pandemic,” according to JHU. 

Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Johns Hopkins University, critically analyzed the impact that COVID-19 had on U.S. deaths. According to Briand, the impact of COVID-19 on deaths in the United States can be fully understood by comparing it to the number of total deaths in the country. 

The article claimed that “in contrast to most people’s assumptions, the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States.” 

Wait, what? Really?

  1. So the study reached the "wrong" conclusions, therefore it was misleading. Here is a link to publications whose stories on COVID-19 I place full faith for accuracy:
    End of list.

  2. John's Hopkins was the original purveyor of the "Death Dashboard." They are instigators of the original fear porn from Italy. Earlier they had another retraction about their own demographic skewing results. In Oregon deaths related to respiratory, pneumonia and heart disease are down very very sharply.

  3. "In fact, it (meaning Covid-19) has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States.”

    True statement, at least per tons of stats for various time periods available from easily available CDC databases-easy to do your own search (try "mortality by cause" to find gobs of data). And, too much data is out there for the goobermint to easily erase all of it.

    Precisely why Johns Hopkins pulled the story: it goes against the narrative-writer likely will be unemployed soon, or as a minimum cleaning dirty toilets at JH.

  4. Synopsis:
    Normal numbers of deaths are fraudulently adjusted downward so more normal deaths can be attributed to the latest chinese influenza.

    For example:
    Until February 2020, normal deaths from heart disease were 100,000 annually.
    After February 2020, deaths from heart disease were reduced to a few hundred.
    The other 99,600 are fraudulently counted as a "...co-morbidity..." with the latest chinese influenza as the primary cause.

    I suggest you read the book LYING WITH STATISTICS.

    1. After losing both parents and their "doctor's" assigning their deaths to Heart Failure, (when it was not), I learned early on that the whole medical community from Big Phallic...Pharma to AMA and everyone in between are corrupt and need to be shot for treason. All they pump out are lies. fuckem

  6. Johns Hopkins retracted article that shed light on Covid morbidity data? Looks like the "fact-fixer" Globalist, Soros-funded enforcers got to them.

  7. This came out last week, and was up just a few hours before they *attempted* to memory-hole it. The researcher also brought up that for some strange reason (cough) the number of fatal heart episodes went down.

  8. Deaths from COVID1984 versus.....

    Deaths WITH COVID1985......

    Big difference medically and statistically......

    But not to the medical bean counters and charlatans.

  9. I read the article, and it is correct! Most of the deaths (not the outliers) caused by COVID happen to people that are on their last legs and would die within a few months from heart failure, advanced pulmonary failure, or advanced cancer anyway. COVID gave them the extra “push” to die because of COVID on top of their existing condition. So for example, deaths from heart failure went down and were almost equally displaced by an increase in deaths from COVID.

    There are the few outliers where a healthy 25 year old guy succumbs to COVID, but that is the exception not the rule.

    The article only spoke about deaths, but not morbidity due to the disease. Many otherwise healthy people that contract the virus have long term effects after they are over the primary illness. Although these effects are not well understood, they are sure to cause these people long term medical problems.

    So, that article should NEVER have been retracted: it is scientifically correct. Rather an editor’s note should have been added so that people do not misinterpret it’s contents and use it to minimize the severity of COVID.

    2. Calm down. What did he say that was wrong, that deaths occur to people that are on their last legs? I'm pretty sure that everybody else agrees with that.

  10. I read the article, too. It was solid. I can't find a better dataset to check it's validity and outcomes. However, its procedures were solid and the analyses went along with the findings. I have read other preliminary reports over the past few months with the same conclusions. I expect that they'll eventually not be able to hide these numbers anymore and we'll all find out this has all been complete nonsense.

    1. Those of us with operating synapses have known that this was nonsense from the get-go. That said, don't expect any admission from the overlords that they purposely exaggerated the crisis. There isn't one item, mandate, or 'suggestion' that can't be deconstructed for the foolishness that it is. I said it from the beginning: this will go down in history as the greatest scam ever foisted upon mankind.

    2. Since I am turned away at my grocery store and Walmart without a mask...I have written on my mask with a Marks-A-lot..."Not Effective".
      I get some smiles and a few frowns. I also wear a mask that I have snipped slots out in the pleats in front of my nose. Most people never see it and I can breathe better

  12. That's what happens when you tell the truth, but not the approved truth.
