Great post, the visual difference between the first and second graphs you posted could be a litmus test for statistical illiteracy. Not once did the NYT show graph 1, it was always graph 2.

Fabulous work. What a man-made-disaster this was, wow.

So if there had been no mainstream coverage, would we look back at NYC as a Covid problem area, a lockdown/pandemic response problem, or no problem at all (high-normal cold/flu season)?

A few additional notes to your excellent report.

You can go to the video w/Nurse Erin and she will show you directly on the screen that patients at Elmhurst were given a "Covid" diagnosis even as it quite clear they tested 'negative.'

Nicole Sirotek who worked at two NYC hospitals during this time was treating numerous patients coming in to and stated that she did not see one "Covid" patient amongst the many she treated and saw being treated but ALL of them were listed as "Covid" for obvious reasons.

It is also of note that even as recorded by the CDC anxiety was the 2nd or 3rd leading comorbidity in their listing of "Covid deaths"- which is rife with fraud.

And of course all of these "Covid" diagnoses are either made up whole cloth by those in the hospitals who are mandated to call everything "Covid" (for $$$) and/or are determined to be "Covid" by PCR which can't diagnose anything.

It's fraud piled on fraud.

This sentence: "We’d expect less-healthy, more vulnerable people to be hospitalized for & with covid, but these numbers and age distribution don’t mesh well with recent estimates of the pre-vax infection fatality ratio."

The final table indicates that up to 3 thousand of the 15,004 covid deaths in spring 2020 could've been people in their 50s. That is out of line with the age distribution you'd expect. I'd also expect a sharper gradient upward for number of deaths in the 3 oldest age groups.

Del Bigtree talked about this panic effect on his show The Highwire. I think it was back in 2020 actually, or early in 2021.

Observation Two fits the evidence we've seen of the power of suggestion. Many New Yorkers thought of covid every time they sneezed or coughed in March and April 2020.

It's pretty remarkable how the entire country was terrorized with horror stories from NYC. And apparently no one who knew what was going on dared to tell the truth.

Motivation? Perhaps the endless flow of a government paid bounty for every COVID coded diagnosis...

Did these hospitals set up respiratory tents though? I ask because I work ICU and occasionally in ER; we directed anyone whose primary complaint was respiratory to the tent setups (drive through and walk in). Anyone admitted to the hospital via the tent was a direct admit from an urgent care setting. We did get some Covids to the nursing floor via ER, but their primary issue would have been trauma, stroke, MI, etc
