The CDC adopted a “double-standard exclusively for COVID-19 data collection” that inflated cases and deaths starting early in the pandemic, violating multiple federal laws and distorting mitigation policies, Oregon lawmakers told the feds’ top lawyer in the state.

Advised by “a large team of world-renowned doctors, epidemiologists, virologists, and attorneys,” state Senators Kim Thatcher and Dennis Linthicum petitioned U.S. Attorney Scott Asphaug to approve a grand jury investigation into how the pandemic is being measured.

“Public health policy must be based upon accurate and independently verifiable data to optimize outcomes…,” the…lawmakers…wrote in a letter with several attached exhibits…

“I’m not sure there has ever been an allegation of government wrongdoing on this scale,”…relationship manager Bailey Kuykendoll told Just the News…

Linthicum said the “incessant case counts” for COVID jumped out at him early, explaining that his service on the legislative health committee led him to recognize “confusion, or inaccuracies, or kind of manipulation” of statistics on influenza-like illnesses versus COVID.

“It didn’t take long to actually see that the data was being scrubbed or sculpted to fit a narrative,” he said…

The CDC’s National Vital Statistics System told mortality data compilers to emphasize COVID-19 as the “cause” of death in a March 2020 alert,…,the letter said.

Regarding COVID diagnosis via RT-PCR tests, the CDC and FDA recommended a high cycle threshold (40) that is widely known to produce false positives…

Public health experts raised the same concerns more than a year ago with The New York Times, recommending cycle thresholds of 35 or lower. The newspaper discovered viral loads were too small to be infectious in up to 90% of “positives” in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada.

Vaccinated people, by contrast, are tested using a cycle threshold of 28, removing false positives…

The feds rebuffed entreaties from Sin Hang Lee, director of Connecticut’s Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, to discuss “significant problems with PCR design and calibration”…

Lee published his concerns in the journal COVID-19 Pandemic: Case Studies & Opinions this summer…

Unspecified biotech companies use “these questionable test results to move the goalposts arbitrarily in defining COVID-19 infections…to cover up various business agendas at the expense of public interest,” Lee wrote.

The lawmakers’ petition also accuses the FDA of withholding “safe and effective evidence-based treatments” just as the Tuskegee study withheld penicillin from black men with syphilis.

They name vitamin D and ivermectin, which have “extensive clinical histories of safety following the administration of billions of doses.”…

The effort started with a peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Science, Public Health Policy, and The Law…

“Why would the CDC decide against using a system of data collection & reporting they authored, and which has been in use nationwide for 17 years…[for] an untested & unproven system exclusively for COVID-19 without discussion and peer-review?” asked the paper,…

SHF submitted petitions and exhibits to every U.S. attorney and the Department of Justice electronically and by physical mail last year, citing the paper, but none responded…

The effort was relaunched this spring…
