It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not or if the test is fake or not, that’s how they’re counting deaths.
And in Oregon and the rest of the US, “dying with covid” and “dying from covid” still get put in the same column.
McCrary said her father tested positive for COVID-19 around the same time of his cancer diagnosis.
“He had no symptoms. He wasn't even quarantined,” said McCrary. McCrary said her dad died from advanced cancer and Avamere considered Creasy recovered from the coronavirus. A few days after his death, Lincoln County Public Health reported Creasy as the county’s ninth COVID-19 death.
“I mean, that’s not what he died from. He died from colon cancer, not COVID and places are listing loved ones as COVID deaths. And they're labeling that and it's just not true,” said McCrary.
McCrary said Creasy died with COVID-19, not from COVID-19, and there’s obviously a difference.
Other families across Oregon are also questioning why their loved ones are being counted as COVID-19 deaths, including the family of a 26-year-old Oregon man who was listed as a COVID-19 death but tested negative for the virus.
According to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), there is no difference when it comes to tracking and reporting COVID deaths. OHA spokesman Jonathan Modie explained in an email how the state determines what is counted as a COVID-19 death:
We consider COVID-19 deaths to be: Deaths in which a patient hospitalized for any reason within 14 days of a positive COVID-19 test result dies in the hospital or within the 60 days following discharge. Deaths in which COVID-19 is listed as a primary or contributing cause of death on a death certificate.
We count COVID-19 deaths this way because the virus can often have effects on an individual’s health that may complicate their recovery from other diseases and conditions, even injuries, and indirectly contribute to their death. Another reason is because OHA is using this data to track the spread of the disease, and to create actionable steps for stopping its spread.
I saw a thread on pol saying that the vaxxed have to keep going for boosters or they will die. And the boosters will be mixed. Some will be placebo, a kill shot or something else so that the population keeps dwindling down over the next 3 to 5 years.
