NYC is massively overreporting deaths. Just the other day they added 3700 "new" deaths that didn't even test positive, they just suspected (ie. pulled it out of their behind) that it was cause of death.

Death numbers are overreported in general - Dr. Birx herself even claimed that if you test positive but die of something other than the virus they track it as a COVID death. It's preposterous.

Belgium is doing something similar. They're being more aggressive than any other nation in Europe at labeling deaths Covid. It has contributed to their extreme case mortality rate.

I listened to Birx[0] and perceived the same. I continue to wonder what I'm missing. If she's correct, there would be serious problems with such methods. Strange stuff.
