Hidden in CDC report: COVID death rate same as seasonal flu

Buried in a 8-page COVID-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios (from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is a an admission that the death rate from COVID-19 is only about 0.26%. 

Scroll down to table 1 in their report. Under the last column (“Best Estimate”) it shows a 0.4% (“0.004”) overall fatality rate for those with symptoms. So 4 out every 1000 people (mainly over 65) with symptoms will be experiencing that inevitable out-of-body-experience we call death.

The same table, however, says that 35% of people will not have any symptoms. So that means 65% of those infected will have symptoms. Multiply that 0.4% death rate by 65% and you get an overall death rate of 0.26%. 

Which is 0.02% less than the 0.28% death rate the Stanford study arrived at in April. And as Dr. John Ioannidis (who published the study) told Journeyman Pictures: 0.28% puts the danger of COVID-19 “in the ballpark of seasonal influenza.”

Even with their deflated prevalence rate and inflated death rate, they still can’t show that COVID-19 is worse than a bad flu. And it’s certainly proving 13 times less deadly than the 3.4% death rate the WHO used to justify putting 3 billion people on house arrest.

Your political leaders may have missed this study, being so busy drawing up new laws to limit our freedom. So please use this email as a template to educate your local rep and demand an end to all COVID-19 restrictions. Don’t leave them with the option of claiming ignorance.
