The CDC has just released some great news in the fight against COVID.

72,000 Americans have undied of COVID-19.

Now, I am certain these people did not come back to life,

and I'm pretty sure that these people never died in the first place.

But the one thing that I now know for sure is that they did not die of COVID.

Last week, without really much of any explanation,

the CDC lowered the total COVID death count by a lot,

not just by a few people, stray numbers here or there.

They lowered it by more than 72,000.

That includes around 24% of pediatric deaths,

when asked how they got the count so incredibly wrong.

The agency blamed the algorithm.

They said, oopsie daisy,

a coding logic error caused the artificially high number.

Now, if you had suggested,

if you had maybe just raised the possibility

that possibly the official COVID death numbers

were being exaggerated over the past two years,

you would have been accused of spreading dangerous misinformation.

You could have been kicked off of social media,

kicked out of the public square.

You would have been called a danger to society.
