Ron Paul \u2013 The Ron Paul Institute June 29, 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"For months, the Washington Post and the rest of the mainstream media kept a morbid Covid-19 \u201cdeath count\u201d on their front pages and at the top of their news broadcasts. The coronavirus outbreak was all about the number of dead. The narrative was intended to boost governors like Cuomo in New York and Whitmer in Michigan, who turned their states authoritarian under the false notion that destroying people\u2019s jobs, freedom, and lives would somehow keep a virus from doing what viruses always do: spread through a population until eventually losing strength and dying out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cdeath count\u201d was always the headline.<\/span><\/p>\n

But then all of a sudden early in June the mainstream media did a George Orwell and lectured us that it is all about \u201ccases\u201d and has always been all about \u201ccases.\u201d Death, and especially infection fatality rate, were irrelevant. Why? Because from the peak in April, deaths had decreased by 90 percent and were continuing to crash. That was not terrifying enough so the media pretended this good news did not exist.<\/span><\/p>\n

With massive increases in testing, the \u201ccase\u201d numbers climbed. This is not rocket science: the more people you test the more \u201ccases\u201d you discover.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately our mainstream media is only interested in pushing the \u201cparty line.\u201d So the good news that millions more have been exposed while the fatality rate continues to decline – meaning the virus is getting weaker – is buried under hysterical false reporting of \u201cnew cases.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately many governors, including our own here in Texas, are incapable of resisting the endless lies of the mainstream media. They are putting Americans again through the nightmare of forced business closures, mandated face masks, and restrictions of Constitutional liberties based on false propaganda.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Texas the \u201csecond wave\u201d propaganda has gotten so bad that the leaders of the four major hospitals in Houston took the extraordinary step late last week of holding a joint press conference to clarify that the scare stories of Houston hospitals being overwhelmed with Covid cases are simply untrue. Dr. Marc Boom of Houston Methodist said the reporting on hospital capacity is misleading. He said, \u201cquite frankly, we\u2019re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, there has been much reporting that the \u201cspike\u201d in Texas cases is not due to a resurgence of the virus but to hospital practices of Covid-testing every patient coming in for any procedure at all. If it\u2019s a positive, well that counts as a \u201cCovid hospitalization.\u201d Why would hospitals be so dishonest in their diagnoses? Billions of appropriated Federal dollars are being funneled to facilities based on the number of \u201cCovid cases\u201d they can produce. As I\u2019ve always said, if you subsidize something you get more of it. And that\u2019s why we are getting more Covid cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go back to the original measurements used to scare Americans into giving up their Constitutional liberties: the daily death numbers. Even though we know hospitals have falsely attributed countless deaths to \u201cCovid-19\u201d that were deaths WITH instead of FROM the virus, we are seeing actual deaths steadily declining over the past month and a half. Declining deaths are not a great way to push the \u201csecond wave\u201d propaganda, so the media and politicians have moved the goal posts and decided that only \u201ccases\u201d are important. It\u2019s another big lie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Resist propaganda and defend your liberty. That is the only way we\u2019ll get through this.<\/span><\/p>\n
