Bottom trawling from Global Research, the repository of chemtrail, 9/11,
Syrian "false flag" sarin attacks and other conspiracies?
Don't you realize that this talking point is rife on the far-right?
DEBUNKING FALSE STORIES
Social Media Posts Make Baseless Claim on COVID-19 Death Toll
By Angelo Fichera
Posted on April 8, 2020
Sally Aiken, the president of the National Association of Medical
Examiners, called the allegation “ridiculous.”
“Death certificates are basically federal, and each state has a public
health division that answers to the [U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention] for death certification,” Aiken, the Spokane County,
Washington, medical examiner, told us in an email. “For all practical
purposes death certification is directed by the feds, via health
departments.”
Contrary to the Facebook posts, Aiken said, “Medical Examiners and
Coroners certify hundreds to thousands of deaths each year, using
investigation, autopsies, and medical tests as required, and do not
choose a ‘default diagnosis’ such as COVID-19.”
Aiken pointed out that CDC offers guidance to public health officials on
the certification of COVID-19 deaths. The latest guidance was issued
April 2.
“If COVID–19 played a role in the death, this condition should be
specified on the death certificate. In many cases, it is likely that it
will be the [underlying cause of death], as it can lead to various
life-threatening conditions, such as pneumonia and acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS),” the guidance says. “In these cases, COVID-19
should be reported on the lowest line used in Part I with the other
conditions to which it gave rise listed on the lines above it.”
