Yep, and if the secondary is covid, the US lists it as a covid death. For example, my wife's aunt died recently. She had been given a few days to live because of COPD. In the hospital, they discovered she had covid, so that was listed as her cause of death. So she is a covid statistic.
I posted a study on here a few days ago that said at least 25% of hospitalizations listed as covid are not.
| At 60 hospitals near Boston, Pittsburgh and Chicago, researchers manually reviewed the charts of a random sample of 1,123 patients with confirmed coronavirus infections hospitalized between March 2020 and August 2021. Roughly 1-in-4 patients “actually were admitted for a different problem and should not have been included” in data analytics calculations of the severity of COVID-19, said Dr. Shawn Murphy of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Patients were more likely to have been admitted specifically for COVID-19 when local infection rates were high, his team reported on Tuesday on medRxiv ahead of peer review. When infection rates were low last summer, up to half the patients were hospitalized for other reasons, with SARS-CoV-2 infection found coincidentally on mandatory testing. |
| Proposed hate speech legislation would allow people to take others to court if they suspect that someone will post content deemed hateful online. Bill C-36 states that "a person may, with the Attorney General's consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds that another person will commit (a) an offence under section 318 [advocating genocide] or subsection 319" [inciting or promoting hate, promoting hatred]. It also covers "an offence motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor." |
