The CDC USA silently erases 24% of children who have died from Covid-19

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention USA (CDC) removed tens of thousands of COVID-19-related deaths, including nearly a quarter of the deaths it had listed among those under 18.

The health agency quietly made the change on its data tracking website on March 15.

The death data was adjusted after resolving a logical coding error. This has resulted in a decrease in the number of deaths across all demographic categories , "says the CDC on the site… That is, the CDC would have misstated the accounts.

The CDC relies on states and other jurisdictions to report deaths from COVID-19 and acknowledges on its website that the data is not complete, but the statistics are often cited by doctors and politicians to push for lockdowns and vaccination obligations. CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky cited the tracker's total deaths in November 2021 as she pushed for a panel of experts to advise her agency to recommend vaccination for all children ages 5 to 11.

Prior to the change, the CDC accounted for 1,755 children who died from COVID-19 out of a total of 851,000 deaths, according to Kelley Krohnert, a Georgia resident who tracked the updates.

The update saw the CDC cut 416 deaths among children, reducing them to 1439. and over 71,000 of the total number, reaching a total of just under 780,000. There were no explanations for the changes resulting in a 24% cut in the number of dead babies.

The CDC had previously changed the death toll in August 2021 "after identifying a discrepancy in the data."

“The update is an improvement, but it is at least the third fix to this data and it still doesn't fix the problem. It simply highlights that people used an imperfect data source when discussing children and COVID, ”Krohnert told The Epoch Times in an email.

Some reporters and doctors have cited the tracker data while others use a tally maintained by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) that has been described by the agency as more reliable.

The NCHS tally, which is compiled from death certificates, currently lists 921 deaths involving COVID-19 among children and approximately 966,000 deaths involving COVID-19 among other age groups. But these deaths also count drowning while they had Covid, so they are only partially better figures. In short, in the end, however you turn it, the dead were counted in excess. Who knows why.
