Doctors Not Only Encouraged by CDC to Claim Death by COVID-19, There’s a Financial Incentive for Hospitals

A Doctor who is also a state representative in Minnesota has let the COVID-19 Death Certificate Cat out of the bag. He says he has seven pages of guidance from the CDC. It suggests that any possible link to COVID-19 upon death should be documented as death by COVID-19.

“Last Friday I received a 7-page document that told me if I had an 86-year-old patient that had pneumonia but was never tested for COVID-19 but some time after she came down with pneumonia we learned that she had been exposed to her son who had no symptoms but later on was identified with COVID-19, then it would be appropriate to diagnose on the death certificate COVID-19,” Dr. Scott Jensen said.

This order comes from the CDC. It says when in doubt, blame it on COVID-19. This comes with significant implications beyond being dishonest. It creates false fear which drives an oppressive and likely unnecessary political response.

Part of that response includes a big fat check to the hospital or clinic (thanks to the same politicians – spending money you can no longer earn on their orders) if they indicate that the patient was admitted with COVID-19.  If you put them on a ventilator you get another big fat check from the Feds.

“Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000; three times as much. Nobody can tell me, after 35 years in the world of medicine, that sometimes those kinds of things [have] impact on what we do.

If you are curious Dr. Scott Jensen’s field of expertise appears to be respiratory illness.

As opposed to the model makers and politicians exercising extra-constitutional force based on flawed projections and now, most likely, flawed reporting of infections and deaths.
