censored again ncov edition

As always, when the Regime needs to lie about something, it means it's almost certainly true. They have to silence what they cannot refute.

Cowen has helpfully confirmed: American hospitals are guilty of severe fraud with regards to ncov deaths, because they get fabulous cash prizes for reporting gunshot wounds and fentanyl overdoses as ncov deaths. 

Every other country went to 0 over the summer. America continued to report around 1000 deaths a day. America, as usual, is a fake country. Easily half of reported ncov deaths died of something else. Further, the Regime has decided they benefit from overplaying the hazard, as should come as a surprise to no one. 

Bonus round: tell-tale sawtooth fraud pattern. Every seven days there's a death spike. Someone (everyone) was faking the weekly death report for those sweet sweet dollars. Sawtooth does not stop when there are plenty of real deaths - everyone continued faking the deaths. Germany also has this pattern. Belgium is sawtoothing on cases but not deaths.

Double bonus round: check Australia for summer = 0 deaths. 

Triple bonus round: I've already mentioned the interventions don't work? If you look at the relatively non-fraudulent numbers it looks like herd immunity has been achieved everywhere. Nothing is stopping the virus spreading except having run out of hosts.

Quadruple bonus round: even the worst hysterions put the death rate at a 1960s average. When they imagine the sky is falling, they imagine so poorly it's a mere old normal. 8.9+0.7=9.6/1000.

 

Cowen doesn't strike me as Straussian. Regular peasant lies with a slightly higher than normal IQ behind them. Familiarizes himself with the truth so he knows what to hide.
Straussianism is pointing out the sawtooth but saying there must be a perfectly reasonable explanation when all you have is terribly unconvincing. Harried hospitals batching death reports or something. Sticking to the middest of midwit takes isn't Straussianism, it's academic gamesplaying. 

Cleverly, he has noticed an unserved market of slightly less pro-Fascist Fascists, often called the right wing. He lets them frolic in his comments section to make his blog seem more relevant than it is. Presumably he then uses this as a flex on other academics, who are gullible enough to buy it.
