meta-analysis "concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted."

At least she has the integrity and conscience to correct her errors and authoritarian tendencies. She won't apologize of course... but the useful idiots won't care. Just keep nodding in unison comrades.

The C.D.C. Isn’t Publishing Large Portions of the Covid Data It Collects

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/20/health/covid-cdc-data.html

The agency has withheld critical data on boosters, hospitalizations and, until recently, wastewater analyses.

 For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public.

When the C.D.C. published the first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults younger than 65 two weeks ago, it left out the numbers for a huge portion of that population: 18- to 49-year-olds, the group least likely to benefit from extra shots, because the first two doses already left them well-protected.

The agency recently debuted a dashboard of wastewater data on its website that will be updated daily and might provide early signals of an oncoming surge of Covid cases. Some states and localities had been sharing wastewater information with the agency since the start of the pandemic, but it had never before released those findings.

Two full years into the pandemic, the agency leading the country’s response to the public health emergency has published only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected, several people familiar with the data said.

CDC coding error led to overcount of 72,000 Covid deaths

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/24/cdc-coding-error-overcount-covid-deaths

Last week, after reporting from the Guardian on mortality rates among children, the CDC corrected a “coding logic error” that had inadvertently added more than 72,000 Covid deaths of all ages to the data tracker, one of the most publicly accessible sources for Covid data.

The agency briefly noted the change in a footnote, although the note did not explain how the error occurred or how long it was in effect.

A total of 72,277 deaths in all age groups reported across 26 states were removed from the tracker “because CDC’s algorithm was accidentally counting deaths that were not Covid-19-related”, Jasmine Reed, a spokesperson for the agency, told the Guardian.

The pediatric death figure reported on its COVID Data Tracker dropped 23.7% from the figure reported the day prior.
