The Italian Higher Institute of Health had adjusted downwards its estimate of the number of people who\u2019ve died <em>from<\/em> Covid, as opposed to <em>with<\/em> Covid, from over 130,000 to under 4,000. Yes, you read that right. Turns out 97.1% of deaths hitherto attributed to Covid were not due directly to Covid.<\/p>\n<p>According to its latest report on Covid mortality, the Institute says COVID-19 has killed fewer people than the average bout of seasonal flu. According to the statistical sample of medical records collected by the Institute, only 2.9% of the deaths registered since the end of February 2020 have been due to COVID-19. So, of the 130,468 deaths registered by official statistics dating back to the beginning of the pandemic, only 3,783 are due to the virus alone. All the other Italians who lost their lives had from between one and five pre-existing diseases. Of those aged over 67 who died, 7% had more than three co-morbidities, and 18% at least two. According to the Institute, 65.8% of Italians who died after being infected with Covid were ill with arterial hypertension (high blood pressure), 23.5% had dementia, 29.3% had diabetes, and 24.8% atrial fibrillation. Add to that, 17.4% had lung problems, 16.3% had had cancer in the last five years and 15.7% suffered from previous heart failures.<\/p>\n<p>Worth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iltempo.it\/attualita\/2021\/10\/21\/news\/rapporto-iss-morti-covid-malattie-patologie-come-influenza-pandemia-disastro-mortalita-bechis-29134543\/\">reading in full<\/a>\u2026 if you speak Italian.<\/p>\n<p>If any readers would like to translate the article for us, please send the translation to <a href=\"mailto:lockdownsceptics@gmai.com\">lockdownsceptics@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop Press:<\/strong> We\u2019re doing some digging into this to try to corroborate it. Treat with caution until further notice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop Press 2: <\/strong>We trawled through the various websites of the Italian National Institute of Health (NIH) and National Institute of Statistics to try to corroborate this piece from an Italian newspaper, and it appears to be based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicentro.iss.it\/en\/coronavirus\/bollettino\/Report-COVID-2019_5_october_2021.pdf\">this report<\/a> (in English) published on or before October 20th. The author of the piece is effectively stating his opinion that only those who died of Covid without comorbidities (2.9%) should be counted as a Covid death, and then extrapolates from there to suggest that the \u2018real\u2019 Covid death toll over the period in question was only 3,783. This is all contrary to the report itself and to the NIH\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istat.it\/it\/files\/\/2020\/06\/Rapporto-ISS-COVID-19-10-2021.pdf\">detailed guidance<\/a> (in Italian) on how to classify Covid deaths. It thus seems as though the article severely misrepresents the position of the NIH, but a lot seems to have been lost in translation and this is really just an opinion piece where the author is poking fun at the NIH while trying to make a point about the risks of Covid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2021\/11\/03\/italian-higher-institute-of-health-adjusts-number-of-deaths-due-to-covid-alone-since-february-2020-downwards-from-over-130000-to-under-4000\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Comments From a Reader in Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The devil is in the detail!!

Here is how the devil is in the detail!! Second part.<\/p>\n<p>You have\u00a0 mentioned the NIH\u2019s detailed guidance (in Italian) on how to classify Covid deaths as it was the Bible but the gigantic\u00a0 health fraud is within the\u00a0 guidance, here it is!!<\/p>\n<p>2. Presenza di un quadro clinico e strumentale suggestivo di COVID-19<br \/>\nLa definizione di quadro clinico compatibile \u00e8 di pertinenza del medico che certifica le cause di morte (curante o necroscopo). Si ricorda che i Centers for Disease Control and prevention statunitensi (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/symptoms-testing\/symptoms.html\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/symptoms-testing\/symptoms.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1636869671823000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0282a-qQmk95yIgz58HkfA\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/symptoms-testing\/symptoms.html<\/a>) hanno identificato i seguenti sintomi come tipici dell\u2019infezione COVID-19:<br \/>\nFebbre\u00a7<br \/>\nTosse\u00a7<br \/>\nDispnea\u00a7<br \/>\nBrividi\u00a7<br \/>\nTremore\u00a7<br \/>\nDolori muscolari\u00a7<br \/>\nCefalea\u00a7<br \/>\nMal di gola\u00a7<br \/>\nPerdita acuta di olfatto o gusto\u00a7<br \/>\n3. Assenza di una chiara causa di morte diversa dal COVID-19 o comunque non riconducibile all\u2019infezione da SARS-CoV-2 (per esempio trauma). Ai fini della valutazione di questo criterio, non sono da considerarsi tra le chiare cause di morte diverse da COVID-19 le patologie pre-esistenti che possono aver favorito o predisposto ad un decorso negativo dell\u2019infezione. Una patologia pre-esistente \u00e8 definita come qualsiasi patologia che abbia preceduto l\u2019infezione da SARS-CoV-2 o che abbia contribuito al decesso pur non facendo parte della sequenza di cause che hanno portato al decesso stesso. Per esempio, sono patologie pre-esistenti il cancro, le patologie cardiovascolari, renali ed epatiche, la demenza, le patologie psichiatriche ed il diabete.<\/p>\n<p>=<\/p>\n<p>2. Presence of a clinical and instrumental picture suggesting COVID-19 The definition of a compatible clinical picture is the responsibility of the doctor who certifies the causes of death (treating or necropsy). Please note that the US Centers for Disease Control and prevention (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/symptoms-testing\/symptoms.html\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/symptoms-testing\/symptoms.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1636869671823000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0282a-qQmk95yIgz58HkfA\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/symptoms-testing\/symptoms.html<\/a>) have identified the following symptoms as typical of the COVID-19 infection:<\/p>\n<p>Acute loss of smell or taste\u00a7 Sore throat \u00a7 Headache \u00a7 Muscle aches \u00a7 Tremor \u00a7 Chills \u00a7 Dyspnea \u00a7 Cough \u00a7 Fever \u00a7<\/p>\n<p>3. Absence of a clear cause of death other than COVID-19 or in any case not attributable to SARS-CoV-2 infection (for example trauma). For the purposes of evaluating this criterion, pre-existing pathologies that may have favored or predisposed to a negative course of the infection are not to be considered among the clear causes of death other than COVID-19. A pre-existing disease is defined as any disease that preceded the SARS-CoV-2 infection or that contributed to death while not being part of the sequence of causes that led to the death itself. For example, pre-existing diseases are cancer, cardiovascular, renal and hepatic diseases, dementia, psychiatric diseases and diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Comment.<\/p>\n<p>In practical terms, for example, an Italian man, 75 year old, obese, with diabets and\u00a0 suffering from lung cancer because he has been a heavy smoker for many years, test positive for SARS-CoV-2RT by PCR , after few weeks he dies, then in Italy his death has always been\u00a0 reported as a SARS-CoV-2 related death!!<\/p>\n<p>If this is not a gigantic health fraud, hence, the elephants can fly!!<\/p>\n<p>3.

I would be satisfied that many healthcare professionals could experiment with our approach and that it was calmly accepted that the method of watchful waiting can be considered outdated.<\/p>\n<p>If we had moved in time, would anything have changed?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe. What is certain is that when you have a new disease you must have the courage to break the mold. Well &#8230; let&#8217;s say it went like this.<\/p>\n<p>Short comment.<\/p>\n<p>After seven months\u00a0 ( from April\u00a0 2021 to October 2021 ) the Italian medical and political class has not yet found the courage to get out of the box ,\u00a0 otherwise all\u00a0 \u00a0these harmful and useless experimental vaccines and much more (\u00a0 &#8220;The Great Reset&#8221; by the Davos psychopathic elites )\u00a0 \u00a0would have been blown up long ago,\u00a0 in short, they are the servants of Big Pharma and the Davos psychopathic elites, that&#8217;s it!!<\/p>\n<p>4.
