They died and tested positive. Majority had underlying conditions that contributed to the death, but hospitals get a lot more money if it is noted as Covid. The fact that hospitals get more $$$ was told to me by two doctors.

Hospitals get paid for providing medical care. A death nets them no money at all. There is a higher payment for covid cases because it costs more to treat them.

If these are actual doctors who treat you as a patient, you might want to look for a doctor who isn't into conspiracy theories.

If they're YouTube doctors or imaginary doctors, that makes more sense.

I know of two specific cases who went to the hospital with a condition unrelated to Covid, tested positive for Covid and reason for visit was listed as Covid. One was a tick bite the other was foreign object in the eye. They weren't treated for Covid.

PS My vitamin D level is very high, the result of taking 4,000 iu a day for 11 years and I had a breakthrough case.
Of course you had a "breakthrough case"...many, many vaccinated people have.

not an uncommon occurrence these days...unfortunately.
there is no treatment for covid that the gov will allow doctors to prescribe..just come back if you get so sick you're on deaths door.
Glad they were treated for what they went in for.
Daughter went to docs for throat infection..was told to go to covid clinic and be tested first.
She refused, and got the antibiotics prescribed over the phone by another doctor...sad, but true.

Two very brave doctors at that.
There's many nurses that say the same...very hush hush though, as the truth sayers must be suppressed.

eh, the vaccinated travelers are the ones who brought Omicron into the United States. It's now in at least 17 states.

So.....yeah.
