So I read the article out of curiosity. The author has been consistent in posting studies that actually take further looks into the fraudulent hospitalization numbers. His covid work is also sponsored by the Chen Zuckerberg foundation...
My hypothesis is that there may have been concern that the initial title would get flagged as misinformation, and so it was changed to appear to have less of a concrete stand point, and to be more of soft general inquiry. Especially considering he's in the Zuckerberg pocket. If his articles are gonna get flagged as misinformation on their Facebook, why are they paying him.
He also published a piece suggesting that the number of children hospitalized for covid was grossly over inflated.
I'm not trying to stan the guy or anything, but I thought this was an interesting post, and wanted to look into the autbor, and the possible reason for the switch. It seems like he is basically sitting on both sides of the fence, but also using studies to try and drive better (read: actually honest) hospitalization metrics, while also pushing the vax. 'Hey these numbers are exaggerated! Because vaccinated people aren't actually there for covid, they just have covid!'
At the end of the day, if it was changed to soothe the masses and skip through a nanny filter, thats a pretty blatant comment on the state of "news" agenda in this day and age.
