In another “faux pas” on reporting the facts, the CDC admitted Covid hospitalizations are overstated! Yesterday, Walensky made ANOTHER announcement, this one even more interesting than the thing about what we’ll tolerate (see earlier post about how policy is determined). She was commenting on a small increase in Covid hospitalizations in kids, and she went out of her way to DOWNPLAY the numbers, pointing out that many of them are admissions WITH Covid and not FOR Covid.

“Many of them are actually coming in for another reason. But they happen to be tested when they come in and they’re found incidentally to have COVID,” Walensky told MSNBC.

Whaaatttt! Are you saying that the hospitals are counting patients as “Covid patients” just because they tested positive, and even if they aren’t actually sick WITH Covid? All I can say is that this is both shocking and appalling. Say it isn’t so Rochelle!

And for all of you terrified parents out there, she offered additional reassurance, Walensky ALSO pointed out that it’s cold and flu season, so naturally you expect kids to be passing stuff around. So just relax already, we know that for the past 22 months we’ve tired to erase from your memories the fact that viruses, colds, and flus ever existed prior to 2020. Sorry, we were just messing with you, they always did and never left!

Then, on the Today show, vaccine expert and FDA advisory panel member Paul Offit did the exact same thing, downplaying the increased figures for kids, blaming increased numbers on testing. “We test anybody who’s admitted to the hospital for whatever reason to see whether or not they have COVID, and we’re definitely seeing an increase in cases. However, we’re really not seeing an increase in children who are hospitalized for COVID or in the intensive care unit for COVID,” Offit said.

So. The closer you’ve been paying attention, the more remarkable these statements seem. Kids have ALWAYS been weaponized as a fear tactic. The CDC has never admitted that hospitalization figures are overstated. The fact that the officials, in what would appear to be in a coordinated fashion — seem to be switching to “reassure” mode from “scarify” mode is significant.

If I was a betting man, I would wager that the “switch” has less to do with “reassurance” and more to do with pushing injections as “safe and effective” on kids.
