CDC website lists over 3,700 virus deaths caused by ‘intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events’

Kerpen added, “And these accidental injury deaths are a bigger share of the COVID death certificate counts in the younger age groups. 9.1% of under 25 and 8.6% of 25-34.”

The motorcycle accident Kerpen is referring to took place in Florida, and a health official in the state admitted that the man died in the accident but was listed on the coronavirus death count.

“I don’t think so. I have to double-check,” Dr. Raul Pino, a health officer in Orange County, Florida, said when asked if the death had been removed from the coronavirus count. “We were arguing, discussing, or trying to argue with the state. Not because of the numbers ⁠— it’s 100 … it doesn’t make any difference if it’s 99 ⁠— but the fact that the individual didn’t die from COVID-19 … died in the crash. But you could actually argue that it could have been the COVID-19 that caused him to crash. I don’t know the conclusion of that one.”

Across the country, other questions have been raised about the death count, including from a coroner in Colorado who alleged that a man who died from alcohol poisoning was listed as a coronavirus death, and coroners in Pennsylvania raised similar concerns.

Health officials in Texas recently removed over 3,000 coronavirus deaths that had be listed as “probable” who never tested positive for the virus, leading one news reporter in Texas to ask the question, “What other departments make this same mistake?”
