Major Danish newspaper apologises for only covering government Covid narrative

This doesn’t mean they don’t have truth in their reporting, only that whatever truth is there is accidental and just seen as a tool to get attention or exact revenge on the governments which he has a personal vendetta against.

For ALMOST two years, we - the press and the population - have been almost hypnotically preoccupied with the authorities' daily coronatal.

WE HAVE STARED at the oscillations of the number pendulum when it came to infected, hospitalized and died with corona. And we have been given the significance of the pendulum's smallest movements laid out by experts, politicians and authorities, who have constantly warned us about the dormant corona monster under our beds. A monster just waiting for us to fall asleep so it can strike in the gloom and darkness of the night.

THE CONSTANT mental alertness has worn off tremendously on all of us. That is why we - the press - must also take stock of our own efforts. And we have failed.

WE HAVE NOT been vigilant enough at the garden gate when the authorities were required to answer what it actually meant that people are hospitalized with corona and not because of corona. Because it makes a difference. A big difference. Exactly, the official hospitalization numbers have been shown to be 27 percent higher than the actual figure for how many there are in the hospital, simply because they have corona. We only know that now.

OF COURSE , it is first and foremost the authorities who are responsible for informing the population correctly, accurately and honestly. The figures for how many are sick and died of corona should, for obvious reasons, have been published long ago, so we got the clearest picture of the monster under the bed.

IN ALL , the messages of the authorities and politicians to the people in this historic crisis leave much to be desired. And therefore they lie as they have ridden when sections of the population lose confidence in them.

ANOTHER example: The vaccines are consistently referred to as our 'superweapon'. And our hospitals are called 'superhospitals'. Nevertheless, these super-hospitals are apparently maximally pressured, even though almost the entire population is armed with a super-weapon. Even children have been vaccinated on a huge scale, which has not been done in our neighboring countries.

IN OTHER WORDS, there is something here that does not deserve the term 'super'. Whether it's the vaccines, the hospitals, or a mixture of it all, is every man's bid. But at least the authorities' communication to the population in no way deserves the term 'super'. On the contrary.

Their readership consists mostly of nationalist oriented types with more than a healthy skepticism of vaccines, masks and experts. This is an obvious attempt by the newspaper to endear itself to its readers by "picking their side".

On Saturday morning I went to my barber shop. My barber was talking to me and I relayed to her some of the pain I've been going through lately dealing with my late mother-in-law's bank, insurance, and other accounts. She then told me that she lost her mother 5 months ago to cancer. Her and her family finally got the death certificate, and the death certificate claimed that her mother had died of covid-19. She had terminal cancer and was at the end of a very long battle.

The family had to fight the hospital because they were shocked knowing that she died of cancer and happened to test positive for COVID-19 at some point in the hospital weeks before she died.

The hospital eventually fixed the "error". I put error in quotes because there's a huge financial incentive for hospital administrators to do this. They get large sums of money from the US federal government for every covid patient or death.

This is an anecdote of course. Not real data. But as my barber pointed out, and I personally experience with my mother-in-law's death, most people might not even see this on the death certificate and if they do they don't have the stomach to fight it. They are grieving and simply want to move on from the pain.

What is the actual data on this? How many deaths are being incorrectly classified as covid related to maximize revenue for immoral hospital administrators?

We don't know. But what I can say is if this is a rare occurrence, It's pretty low probability for me to encounter more than one person who has described this to me. My suspicion is, based purely on economic incentives, this is fairly common place.

Really happy to see this Danish newspaper finally doing what the fourth estate is supposed to do: Challenging the powerful and the elite rather than being their lap dogs.

I canceled my New York Times in Washington Post prescriptions several months ago. I still really enjoyed much of the content in both publications, but it became a big negative emotion to open them up and see the blatant evidence of how corrupted they have become. They don't challenge power unless the power is run by someone they don't like. If they happen to find the person in charge less objectionable they will happily do their bidding.
