Same situation with COVID.  So everybody who wants to disrupt, cause division or are “loading up” because they are an anti-vaxer and anticipate a vaccine down the road...or who love Putin or the ability to argue at any cost to self or country.... jumps on the COVID-19 wagon and distort cause of death (amongst other things).   There is a hear no evil, see no evil approach to testing in this country for political reasons.  Be smarter than that people.  Don’t become a lamb to the slaughter.  Think a bit more critically about what’s out there.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are many people without  geographical contraint that plant partial truths to get in the door and then distort.  Our front door is the internet and it’s unlocked and open.  Unless we secure it individually or think critically &amp;amp; logically, we will slowly be destroyed. And everyone doing it will think they are the most credible because the person  who came thru the front door said so.  It becomes addictive because  they can now  draw attention to themselves where they never had the ability to before.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Succharidt Bhakti, top level microbiologist from Germany, politely stated in his open letter to Angela Merkel, that it is a &amp;quot;mistake&amp;quot; on a world wide basis, to diagnose COVID 19 as cause of death, where it was (in words to this effect) an &amp;quot;alongside&amp;quot; instead of causal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the USA, Annie Buckacek, MD/State Legislator; Scott Jensen MD/State Senator/theologian; Illinois&amp;#39;s top public health official; and at least a dozen additional MDs USA wide, have all stated in unanimous agreement that can, as a chorus of voices, no longer be dismissed: The Coronavirus is being over-diagnosed where it is secondary but not causal in death. Dr Jensen/State Senator says that previously, CDC guidelines required very specific diagnoses for cause of death, such as pneumonia but never the flu. Now, he said, they urge doctors just very suddenly, to diagnose the Covid 19 illness as cause of death. Further, (I saw for myself) the CDC&amp;#39;s guidelines state that it is acceptable to diagnose &amp;quot;probable&amp;quot; COVID 19 and testing is not required to confirm. Oh how very nice. Toying with our fears based on all this, breaking the world economy, installing dictatorship...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, let&amp;#39;s not say that the virus is a hoax. It most certainly is NOT. It is very real.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, the wildly overblown numbers, used to scare us all, ARE according to these highly credible sources, (by implication) a hoax! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am so grateful that the truth is coming out, and that now an MD/JD and director of the Crime Prevention Research Center, are jointly speaking to this truth, adding their voices to the chorus that sings unanimously. When such voices join in from across the USA and even the globe, to dismiss this and downplay it, is proof of pure fool&amp;#39;s games. We must listen to them ALL, at last.&lt;/p&gt;
