For any other interested readers, what is being alleged here is
false. The Covid 19 epidemic in the US is causing a large net increase in the total number of deaths, compared to normal years. To say that doctors are simply rebranding routine deaths as Covid deaths is just lies. Whether
@dad realises this, or is just repeating falsehoods he has allowed himself to be taken in by, I have no way of knowing, but it is lies.
In this link, if you look at the 4th chart down on the page, you can see there has been a large number of
excess deaths, relative to the preceding years, coinciding exactly with the progress of the epidemic:
Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)
(In the UK, our statisticians regard the monitoring of the excess deaths as one of the most reliable ways to double-check the true level of deaths due to this virus. This is because it does not depend on how the doctor fills out the cause of death on the certificate.)
