    Like, around this time last year, based on the death count and on remarks in the clip.
    Sorry, not sure about the date of the video. As I said, I just saw it yesterday.

        Doctors do not receive any compensation regardless of how they fill out a death certificate

        Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
        But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              In most cases, I think it's the hospital that gets the money, not the doctor. But for the sake of argument, let's assume it's the doctor.

              What percentage of doctors do you think would be willing to falsify a death certificate to get that money? 50%?

                  I don't think, in many cases, that they see it as "falsifying a death certificate" so much as going along with the flow. If there is ANY possibility that COVID could be a factor, they're "giving it the benefit of the doubt". They're "doing their part" for the battle against the Great Pandemic.

                    And yet in at least 90% of cases where covid-19 is listed on the death certificate, it is the underlying cause of death. One would think that if they just wanted to give it "the benefit of the doubt", they would just make it a contributing cause.

                      Many might look the other way in that it'll help finance a hospital that might be struggling.

                        My daughter is a Hospice Nurse Trainer -- she comes into contact with this all the time with her trainees - they know which doctors to call if they want a simple "this is what happened" death certificate, and which ones will just declare it a COVID death regardless.

                            This does not go to the doctors in hospitals. It goes to the hospitals. IR you have references of reliable sources of kickbacks to doctors please prive them.

                                Can you define "prive", please? Given your 'decent education'.
