Former Planned Parenthood president Leana Wen has become the media’s authority on the coronavirus, despite her doing a 180 on masking school children and admitting that the cloth masks we’d all be forced to wear for two years were “little more than facial decoration.” In a new opinion piece, Wen points out a “new” problem: We’ve been overcounting COVID-19 deaths.
There were stories from the beginning of the pandemic that hospitals were treating things like falls and car accidents as COVID deaths if the person tested positive for the coronavirus. As Wen points out in her piece in the Washington Post, “A gunshot victim or someone who had a heart attack, for example, could test positive for the virus, but the infection has no bearing on why they sought medical care.”
BREAKING from Leana Wen at WaPo: “We are overcounting COVID deaths… Since every hospitalized patient gets tested for COVID…a gunshot victim or someone who had a heart attack, for example, could test positive.”
Wow. Who’d have thought.https://t.co/utCoJSzH1a pic.twitter.com/cMAFsmfOy0

I think Leana Wen is re-tweeting my timeline from 2020, before I got banned for mis-information.

The WaPo is a Time Machine casting back into every private conversation barred from the town square in 2020.

That is brand-new information. 😐

Cause of death: "COVID related gunshot wound to the head" 🤔

How is the Washington Post just now hearing about this? That’s right, they aren’t. They’ve known about this for 2 years. They are just choosing to now report on it as the tides change and the CYA feelers are on high alert.

It’s all part of the “COVID amnesty program,” where the experts admit mistakes were made.
Amazed but not amused

Also has been said by average people since the beginning of the pandemic.

Honestly, I've been screaming this since 2020…finally.

Leanna is a little late to the game there 😂

Is there a "crisis actor award" being given out? She has to at least be in the running.

They needed the numbers.

They needed the numbers, but for what? To justify the lockdowns? To get reimbursed for care? To keep the “Trump Death Count” running at the bottom of CNN’s screen?
This shit just pisses me off now. She was a leading voice for being WRONG for the last three years as we lost our loved ones who weren't mentally prepared for shutdowns or to have their livelihoods stolen by lockdown orders to suicide and drug overdoses. Sorry, Leana. WE REMEMBER https://t.co/C4GXTWSxnF

It's so odd to see these people suddenly jump to the other side of the issue and pretend that they were a voice of reason all along. Never forget.
