RUSH: Now, there\u2019s something, folks, that I raised last Thursday on this program. I had a column here by a doctor in the U.K., Dr. John Lee. (Stand by audio sound bites number 1 and 2.) The title of his piece: “How Deadly Is the Coronavirus? It\u2019s Still Far from Clear.” This guy was the first to raise the possibility that a lot of people are dying from things other than Covid-19 but that their deaths are being chalked up to Covid-19 anyway.<\/p>\n

This is how I described it last Thursday…<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a great speculative piece today that I came across in the U.K. Spectator by Dr. John Lee. He\u2019s a pathologist, a statistician, he\u2019s a qualified doctor, and he has written a piece: “How Deadly Is The Coronavirus? It\u2019s Still Far from Clear.”<\/a> We\u2019ve got massive speculation going on out there. And this guy\u2019s weighed in with his. And he\u2019s got many points here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of his primary points is how are we reporting coronavirus deaths? In other words, let\u2019s use the U.K., since it\u2019s where Dr. Lee is from. Let\u2019s say 50,000 people a day die in the U.K. anyway. There are methods on the books that are a matter of law for how deaths are reported, not just in the U.K., but here. And he\u2019s concerned that with this new arrival of Covid-19, that coronavirus is being listed as a cause of death for many people who are not dying because of it.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re dying because of other things.<\/p>\n

END ARCHIVE CLIP<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, the 50,000 number, I just chose it as random \u2019cause it\u2019s easy to follow. It\u2019s nowhere near that high, the number of people that die every day in the U.K. I just chose the number to use it because it\u2019s easy to remember. Now, have you heard, ladies and gentlemen, that in New York (and, of course, other places), there is a shockingly low number of deaths reported to have occurred because of other reasons?<\/p>\n

Like heart and cardiac arrest deaths are way down. Other standard, ordinary ways that people die every day are way, way down in New York — and the doctors are scratching their heads trying to figure it out. What\u2019s happening? And they\u2019re coming up with all kinds of wild guesses. “Well, maybe people are dying in their homes and we don\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n

“Maybe they\u2019re not going to the hospital with whatever has befallen them such as coronary failure, heart attack, whatever. Maybe they\u2019re just…” No. What is happening is that as many deaths as reasonably can be are being chalked up to Covid-19 — and at yesterday\u2019s briefing at the White House, Dr. Deborah Birx admitted that we are doing exactly what I just described.<\/p>\n

Dr. Birx says that anyone who dies with coronavirus, regardless of any underlying health condition, is being counted as a death from coronavirus.<\/p>\n
