"When someone dies in this country right now, they’re not talking about the high blood pressure, the diabetes, the stroke. They’re saying ’Did they die from COVID?'" Erickson said. "We’ve been to hundreds of autopsies. You don’t talk about one thing, you talk about comorbidities. ER doctors now [say] ’It’s interesting when I’m writing about my death report, I’m being pressured to add COVID. Why is that?" The video was deleted late last night for "violating YouTube’s terms of service." Earlier this month, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki told CNN that the company would ban any video content that contradicted World Health Organization recommendations.

| #3 Good thing for China they just bought WHO. Gives them a pretty good grip to detract criticism and curb enthusiasm for lawsuits. |
