(Reuters) - The United States has administered 318,576,441 doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country as of Monday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

Those figures are up from the 317,966,408 vaccine doses the CDC said had gone into arms by June 20.

The agency said 177,342,954 people had received at least one dose while 150,046,006 people are fully vaccinated as of Monday.

The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) MRNA.O and Pfizer/BioNTech as well as Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)'s one-shot vaccine as of 6:00 a.m. ET on Monday.

Also a thought experiment/illustration, let's say that there was a virus that ki.lls nobody. But you create a test for this virus that can detect the virus 100% of the time but has a 5% false positive rate and you test 100 million people. And let's say there is a 10% incidence of this virus in the population. This means that if you test all 100 million people, you will have 10 million positive tests from people who have the actual virus, and 4.5 million false positives (5% false positive rate from the 90% of the population that is uninfected). Now let's say you start counting everybody who di.es after testing positive for the virus as having di.ed from the virus. If 5% of the population di.es each year just from other causes, this means that you are going to have 725,000 dea.ths counted from that virus...even if the virus actually ki.lls nobody. So I am not suggesting COVID-19 does not ki.ll people, but the way that they count COVID-19 deaths is false and misleading.
The CDC during the pandemic was even including suicide and drug overdose as co-morbidities for COVID-19. Virtually anybody who died of anything and also had diagnosis code of COVID-19 was counted towards the de.ath total. This is unprecedented.
well said Edward.. in Germany we had only 500 flu fatalities last year.. vs 30,000 a year earlier.. bug plenty of Covid desths
Step 1: Test everybody for COVID-19. Step 2: Attribute every de.ath of people who test positive for COVID-19 as having di.ed form COVID-19. Step 3: Fearmonger and give government more power. People with one or more functioning brain cells see the sc.am as politicians and the media try their best to drag this on. COVID-19 is the only pandemic that has needed its own marketing and PR department to remind people daily it even exists. And to be clear, COVID-19 is real, but the fearmongering is related to statistical manipulation/deception and political motivation. There is a reason that the demographics of people who di.e from COVID-19 are identical to the demographics of people who di.ed before COVID-19 and the overall population mortality rate of the globe has been unchanged.
Also of note, mass vaccinating the population including low risk individuals with experimental vaccines has been very helpful at accelerating the formation of resistant mutant variants. They are even admitting - under their breath - that the vaccines people are getting are not even expected to last a year.
