The hospitals are incentivized financially to put Covid-19 on the death certificate, and their OWNED doctors are ordered to put Covid-19 on there if they just happened to be infected while in the hospital and actually dying of something else.
They've got deniability. The person actually did have Covid when they died of something else. And if they didn't have it before they went in for a long and possible final hospital stay, they got it while they were at the hospital.
My point regarding the "good" GOP Congressman's passing is that Second himself was just pulling this exact same shit yesterday. Presenting his death as a Covid death, yet dude was battling Cancer and Second either didn't know this or conveniently failed to mention it.

MDs, DOs, and other treating prescribing professionals do, along with MEs, coroners, and pathologists.
There are roughly 850,000 active MDs alone in the US. That figure doesn't count osteopaths and other treating/ prescribing professionals who can also write death certificates.

60% of MDs alone do NOT work for hospitals. That figure doesn't count osteopaths and other treating/ prescribing professionals who can also write death certificates.
https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/hospitals-now-employ-more-than-40-
of-physicians-analysis-finds/548871/
And that number doesn't include MEs, coroners, and pathologists (who don't work for hospitals) who write or certify cause of death.
That's a LOT of people putting their professional licenses on the line to 'fake' COVID-19 for no reason at all, Jack!
And btw, a COVID-19 death is distinct from a cancer death (if it wasn't, the cancer lung' photo would look the same as the COVID-19 lung photo), just like COVID-19 is distinct from a broken leg, or high blood pressure.

The doctors are all owned by the insurance companies.
Just because somebody went to college and wears a white lab coat doesn't mean they're not owned while clocked in like somebody working at WalMart wearing a red apron.
What they're not going to risk is losing their medical license and having to trade in that white lab coat for a red apron at WalMart because they wouldn't call Covid the cause of death when it was clear the person was dying of stage 4 pancreatic cancer but also just happen to contract Covid during their hospital stay.
There is currently HUGE federal money pouring in per covid death.

The insurance companies don't care what's on the death certificate, Jack.

Look at the headline of the article I posted about the Texas Congressman Second was calling a Covid death and forgetting to mention the fact he had cancer.
Even on a right leaning news site, they put Covid first in the headline. It should have read bouts of Cancer FIRST, and Covid second, or been worded in a way where he had a long battle with cancer and finally died after he had contracted Covid.
Dude died of Cancer. Not Covid.

They're all in it together, dude.
The entire healthcare INDUSTRY should be treated with less trust than the Government.

Don't care about one dood, dood. Not every COVID-19 death is fake or due to something else.
Medical professionals and examiners actually CAN tell the difference between a broken leg death and a COVID-19 death.
Hospitals don't write death certificates. And the VAST majority are written by people NOT paid by ANY hospital, including the completely independent coroners etc. Insurance companies don't care what's on a death certificate, they get paid according to DRGs.
You have no factual argument, Jack.

Well, it looks to me like you have no idea how doctors and other medical professionals can tell the difference between COVID-19 and a broken leg, who writes death certificates and how, and how insurance companies - and Medicare/ Medicaid - are paid.

Whatever floats your boat.
I really don't care.
Perception is reality, and you have yours.
I've got more important more enjoyable things to do than go back and forth with you on this all day long when neither of us will accomplish anything.
Enjoy your pandemic.

Lancet Study Finds 40 Percent of U.S. COVID-19 Deaths Could Have Been Avoided
The British medical journal the Lancet, on Wednesday, published a damning assessment of Donald Trump’s presidency and its impact on Americans’ health, concluding that 40 percent of the nearly 500,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. over the past year were avoidable. The journal came to the conclusion by comparing the U.S. health outcomes on the coronavirus—the country leads the world in COVID deaths and confirmed cases with more than 27 million—with the weighted average of other G-7 nations. So it’s not a wildly abstract conclusion to draw: the U.S. could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives if it had just performed similarly to its economic peers.
The report assailed Trump for his response to the pandemic, but emphasized that the disastrous response to the virus's spread was the result of years of destructive public policy decisions on health that extended well beyond the Trump years. From the Lancet:
Many of the cases and deaths were avoidable. Instead of galvanizing the U.S. populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation. His refusal to develop a national strategy worsened shortages of personal protective equipment and diagnostic tests. President Trump politicized mask-wearing and school reopenings and convened indoor events attended by thousands, where masks were discouraged and physical distancing was impossible.
The result, the Lancet notes, is more than 450,000 deaths where “about 40 percent of which could have been averted had the U.S. death rate mirrored the weighted average of the other G7 nations.” But the trajectory of the U.S. falling behind G-7 nations in life expectancy is nothing new, and the gap has grown over the past decade even before the coronavirus exacerbated existing deficiencies in the U.S. health system. The number of excess deaths in the U.S. when compared to similar countries in the G-7 already stood at more than 450,000 in 2018 alone—a number that has been climbing for decades. Most of those unnecessary deaths in the U.S. are in people under the age 65, such that, “if U.S. death rates were equivalent to those of other G7 nations, two of five deaths before age 65 years would have been averted,” the Lancet notes. “To put this number in context, the number of missing Americans each year is more than the total number of COVID-19 deaths in the USA in all of 2020.”
