‘Anumber of certificates where it’s really unclear
at all what the person died from…’
(Maxford Nelsen, Freedom Foundation) Officials at the Washington
State Department of Health (DOH) confirmed on Thursday that, as the
Freedom Foundation reported on Monday, the state is counting in its
COVID-19 death total the deaths of persons who tested positive for
the virus but died from other causes.
In remarks made during a telephonic press briefing, DOH
officials even acknowledged knowingly including multiple deaths
caused by gunshot wounds in the state’s COVID-19 fatality
count.
