Hospitals Given Monetary Incentive To Inflate COVID Deaths?

This may not be news to some people, but this is yet another reason why the numbers make ZERO sense, and I’m honored to simply continue bringing light to it.

For several months, I’ve been hearing through the grapevine that people who passed away from other causes were recorded as having died from COVID when, in reality, the patient merely had COVID in his or her system at the time.

As the great Ronald Reagan once said, “One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine.”

WAKE UP, SHEEPLE.

Breitbart reported:

United States hospitals have a “perverse” monetary “incentive” to increase their count of coronavirus fatalities, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s director Robert Redfield indicated under questioning from a Republican lawmaker during a House panel hearing on Friday.

Asked to comment on what Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) described as the “perverse incentive” during a hearing by the House Oversight and Reform Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Dr. Redfield responded:

“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes too, really in the HIV epidemic, somebody may have a heart attack, but also have HIV — the hospital would prefer the [classification] for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement.

“So I do think there’s some reality to that. When it comes to death reporting, though, ultimately, it’s how the physician defines it in the death certificate and … we review all of those death certificates.

“So I think, probably it is less operable in the cause of death, although I won’t say there are not some cases. I do think though [that] when it comes to hospital reimbursement issues or individuals that get discharged, there could be some play in that for sure.”

Adm. Brett Giroir from the U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Department even acknowledged that there is an over-inflation of numbers portraying the COVID death rate and statistics.

It’s certainly no wonder as to why the flu and other upper respiratory diseases/viruses haven’t been reporting consistent statistics like they used to.

I’ll bet my left nipple that CNN won’t report on this.
