Rachel welcome back to Fox AMP,
Rachel. Welcome back to Fox AMP
friends.
Two Minnesota lawmakers are
calling for an audit of
coronavirus deaths in the state.
They raised the alarm after
reviewing data from nearly three thousand
death certificates, and they
found that eight hundred of those counted
as a covid death actually didnt
have covid as an underlying
cause of death.
Joining me now are Minnesota
State lawmakers, Mary Fransen and
Scott Jensen, who is also a
practicing physician.
Welcome to you both.
Let me start by asking Mary
what motivated you to take a
look into this data.
Thank you so some concerned
citizens came forward and they
actually had the death file from
the Minnesota Department of
Health that they had purchased
and asked me to take a look at
what they were seeing.
There was a lot of data, so I
enlisted a team of some pretty
smart people to look at it,
including Dr Jensen, and what we
did is we reprocessed that death
file?
We isolated the cases where
Covid 19 is the underlying cause
of death, as well as the death
where Covid is mentioned, but not
listed as the underlying cause
of death, and through this
process we found clear cut
examples from the Minnesota
Department of Health files,
public records, Rachel of
Suicide, a drowning, an auto
accident where the passenger
was ejected from the vehicle
we found dementia. Those are the
really sad cases when
theyre dying of dementia, but
also being classified as a covid
death and strokes.
I also just was so shocked at
what I found that this could not
keep silent
Rachel so whose directing that
these deaths be counted in this
way.
How is this happening that this
data is being so corrupted?
Where is the direction coming
from
thats? A good question for
doctor
Doctor Jensen?
Sure, if you go back to April
this past year, youll see that
the Department of Health and the
CDC were both putting out
advice and instructions to go
ahead and use Covid 19 in a more
casual manner than weve used
before.
It was as if the format that
weve used for the last seventeen years
to identify the initiating event
and the sequence of causation
was changed if it involved
Covid 19
thats, where it started. So I
think that weve seen a
tremendous encouragement to go
ahead and use Covid 19 as one of
the diagnosis in the cause of
death sequence.
The most important diagnosis on
a death certificate is the
underlying cause of death.
The underlying cause of death is
oftentimes, referred to as the
one that gets tabulated
as a part of our federal Registr
AR
when we say six hundred and fifty thousand Americans
died of heart disease in the
last year were looking at.
Where was this diagnosis placed
on a death certificate and it
would have been the underlying
cause of death, but I think it
begs the question we have to
follow the money and when you
see
Rachel rate thats the question
you see that came in if you
could hit a threshold of one hundred and sixty one
admissions to your hospital with
a Covid 19 diagnosis between
January and June, you receive
seventy seven thousand dollars of additional money for
each one of those admissions
Rachel wow well thats, the
million dollar question.
Why and youre saying that its
for the money and that the CDC
and the health departments are
allowing this data to get
corrupted
really quickly? Do you think this
kind of Miss counting is
happening across the country,
not just in Minnesota?
So in Florida there was a
health report that said a
Covid 19 death toll was inflated
by ten percent
in Washington, its being
reported that the death toll be
over inflated by thirteen percent and in
Colorado it has been reported
that at least two cases of gun
shot victims were being
classified as Covid 19 deaths,
and that is why we are calling
for a full audit.
President Trump, if you are
watching Fox AMP friends this
morning, I am asking to
request a full audit of every
single state in the nation,
because Minnesota is not an
anomaly.
The citizens of our country are
being led in fear and that fear
is leading them to make
irrational decisions based on
the governors with their
shutdowns, with us not being able
to exercise our life, our
liberty, our pursuit of
happiness. So we need this, ought
it and we need the truth and the
public deserves the truth
Rachel. Well. Thank you, Mary.
Thank you, Dr Jensen. This is
very important and youre right.
