Investigators Challenge CDC Flu Statistics As Season Draws To Close - Health Supreme

Investigators Challenge CDC Flu Statistics As Season Draws To Close - Health Supreme: "I have previously reported that the actual CDC flu-death stat for the year 2000 was 1765. It's in small print, not in the CDC press releases that trumpet that ridiculous canned 36,000 figure.
So, working with the 1765 figure, I read through the various tables. It was easy to find how the CDC came up with that number. Table 1 lists 60 deaths from flu 'with influenza virus identified.' Table five lists 1705 deaths from flu with 'virus not identified.' Add up the two totals and you get 1765 deaths from the flu.
But wait a minute. All these stats are based on reports turned in from the field---which means doctors out there making diagnoses all over the US. If 1705 deaths from the flu NEVER HAD AN IDENTIFICATION OF A VIRUS THAT THE CDC CLAIMS ACTUALLY CAUSES THE FLU, WHAT ARE WE LEFT WITH?"

This article is worth a complete read. I had previously heard about the flu-death stats being inflated with pnuemonia stats. Whta I hadn't heard about was verified flu-death stats being inflated with non-verified flu-death stats. Like, if someone dies of something, wouldn't you test to be sure what they died of?
