A physician who serves as a Minnesota state senator announced this month that his state’s Board of Medical Practice is investigating him following his criticism in April that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidelines on the classification of coronavirus deaths could artificially inflate counts.
Dr. Scott Jensen (R) tweeted on July 6 that his video message was the “most important” he has done.
Most important video I’ve done…could this happen to you? Share the message, no one’s immune to attacks. (part 1/2) pic.twitter.com/gbU06l9oEK
The physician said the Board of Medical Practice wrote to him that he was under investigation because of allegations he has been “spreading misinformation in regards to the completion of death certificates on a news program,” and “providing reckless advice” in a comparison between COVID-19 and the flu.
In April, Jensen appeared on Fox News with host Laura Ingraham, who read guidelines developed by CDC for completing death certificates.
“In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID-19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as ‘probable’ or ‘presumed,’” Ingraham read from the guidelines, emphasizing they appeared to concede how the death certificates are completed is a “judgment call.”
Jensen responded the CDC guidance was “ridiculous.”
“The idea that we’re going to allow people to massage and sort of game the numbers is a real issue,” he continued, “Because we’re gonna undermine the trust and, right now, as we see politicians doing things that aren’t necessarily motivated in fact and in science, the public’s … trust in politicians is already wearing thin.”
During the broadcast, Jensen also provided a hypothetical example of a patient who died due to influenza, with symptoms of cough and fever, but who would have the primary cause of death as “respiratory arrest.”
“I’ve never been encouraged to [notate ‘influenza’],” he said. “I would probably write ‘respiratory arrest’ to be the top line, and the underlying cause of this disease would be pneumonia … I might well put emphysema or congestive heart failure, but I would never put influenza down as the underlying cause of death and yet that’s what we are being asked to do here.”
Jensen added that, under the CDC guidelines, a patient who died after a bus accident, but then tested positive for coronavirus, would still be counted as having presumed to have died from the virus.
“That doesn’t make any sense,” he said.
Ingraham also played a clip of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci’s response during a briefing to a question about the possibility of coronavirus deaths being “padded.” Fauci replied there are often “conspiracy theories” during “challenging” times in public health crises.
Jensen responded by observing that hospitals receive greater reimbursements for patients being treated for coronavirus.
The senator said in his recent video that he believes he has been “targeted,” but that he intends to cooperate with the investigation.
He received a statement of support from Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka:
Of course I support Dr. Jensen and his medical expertise on COVID because he has proven to be right. USA Today fact-checked and verified Sen. Jensen’s claim that federal payments were greater if patients were confirmed to have COVID.
Gazelka added he is exploring “whether or not the board is compelled to investigate every complaint or if they are choosing to investigate Dr. Jensen.”
“It’s also concerning there are two separate complaints, raising questions about coordination,” the statement continued. “Legislators should not have to fear regulators based on their speech. If the bureaucratic state can silence speech through investigations, we have very dark times ahead for our democracy.”

We all know numbers are being played with.
I haven’t heard how many people have died of the common flu this year, has anybody else?
They’re just marking the majority of deaths as covid. It’s just easier that way I guess….plus they can get more funding $$$$ – and that’s what it’s really about.
I know exactly how he feels. I too am a doctor and when I began to tell people the exact same thing about the CDC that he is saying I became a stupid Trump supporter to many friends and relatives who for the past 30+ years had always called me with their medical questions and asked me to speak to their doctors.

Most Americans Are Afraid To Voice Their Political Views
A new CATO Institute/YouGov national survey found 62% of Americans say the political climate today prevents them from saying what they believe. This is up several points from 2017 when 58% of Americans said they were afraid to share their political beliefs: https://www.wnd.com/2020/07/walking-eggshells-stunning-number-americans-afraid-say-political-views/
Democrats = 52%
independents = 59%
Republicans = 77% This huge difference for Republicans explains why the polls are so wrong. Republicans won’t talk to pollsters.
YEP, I HAVE BEEN CONFRONTED AT WORK AND I BELIEVE IMPOVERISHED LARGELY BECAUSE I PRACTICE MY 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS! RIGHTISTS ARE BEING TARGETED BY ACTIVISTS OF THE PARTY OF THE D-MNED!
I ended up losing my job after operating for the same employer for several years, I desired legitimate revenue, I was not exploring for the “get rich quick” home packages you find all around the internet. Those are almost always pyramid programs or stuff that you will probably try to sell to your buddies and persons in the family. Only two or three months ago I landed upon a excellent online work prospect. By going online I secure between 4,000-5,000 bucks every 30 days It is absolutely a sufficient amount to surely substitute my old jobs earnings, specially thinking about I simply just do the work around 20 hrs each week in a home office. I generally required an authorized process to generate an income for me as well as my family. The most important part of earning a living on the net is that I am consistently home with the the kids, I save lots of money. Seriously, it is much simpler than you could imagine. I obtained the guidance kit and thus within 30 days I initiated getting over $4,000 each month. The instructions are incredibly simple, you do not have to be a computer whiz, but you must be aware how to use the net. If you can fill up forms and also browse internet sites, you can actually do it without difficulty, You need not even have to sell anything and no one needs to purchase something. It is truly as simple as being on Youtube or twitter.Here’s the most convenient way to start => http://bburl.net/b3
WELL, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A LEFTIST TROLL ON A RIGHT-WING BOARD! PRES. TRUMP PROTECTED FEDERAL PROPERTY AND PERSONNEL FROM MR. MOJO RISIN’S BARRICADE LOOT MAYHEM ACTIVISTS AKA BLACK LIVES MATTER IN PORTLAND! LEFTISTS GO BEHIND FOLKS’ BACKS TO RUIN THEIR LIVES! THAT IS WHAT THEY DO! AFTERWARDS, THEY UTILIZE PAID TROLLS TO HARRASS THEM ON RIGHT-WING BLOGS LIKE MR. MOJO RISIN’ HERE SEEKS TO DO!
GOOD OBSERVATION, LEFTIST! HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR YOU TO FIGURE THAT OUT, MOJO WOODPECKER? WAS THAT PART OF YOUR DAILY RISIN’ BEFORE YOU FELL FLAT FROM LACK OF REAL INTELLECT?
GO GET YOUR HAPPY MEAL PRIZE FOR INSULTING A RIGHTIST TODAY FROM BARRICADE LOOT MAYHEM/BLM AND DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU AS YOU LEAVE THIS BOARD! ALSO, MY TITS ARE AVERAGE BUT I’M WELL ENDOWED IN OTHER AREAS AND KNOW HOW TO USE WHAT I HAVE!
HOW MANY LEFTIST BRIBE’M/BIDEN SUPPORTERS LIKE MOJO DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB? THEY CAN’T AS THEY’RE INTO GREEN ENERGY SO WAIT FOR THE SUN TO RISE THE NEXT DAY! HEY, MOJO, WHY DON’T YOU GO DOWN TO THE FEDERAL COURT HOUSE IN PORTLAND AND SHOW THEM HOW IT’S DONE AT BLM? OOPS! YOU’RE STILL IN THE DARK FROM NOT CHANGING THE LIGHTBULB AND CAN’T SEE WHERE TO GO! YOU’RE TOO BAD AND PRETTY SAD!
I certainly do not participate in polls. One reason is that the questions are always worded to elicit the response that the designer of the poll wants to get.
To publicly declare your support for Trump make you a target for harassment and intimidation. The Commiecrats have employed an armed mob against us. They have intimidated and castrated the police. Most Commiecrats have no job or if they do its some union or bureaucracy and have little to fear. For Trump supporters, we are not only putting our votes on the line but also our personal and family safety, employment, and professional licenses. Trump will triumph overwhelmingly in November. Then, I pray, its payback time; It’s our opportunity to put the Commiecrats out of business for good. No golden rule. It’s not applicable when suppressing Communists. We will do to them what they plan on doing to us. If they triumph they will kill us. Their icons have killed at least 300 million of us in the last century. They will not do it again. Never Again! WE MUST ROUND THE VERMIN UP AND MARCH THEM TO THE STADIUM AND ANNIHILATE THE POS

I’ve been a skeptic from the start. Published around 1981. Wonder where the idea for all this came from…..
THE democ-RATS ARE THE PARTY OF THE D-MNED! THEY ARE THE EYES OF DARKNESS! I GENUINELY BELIEVE THE GEORGE SOROS-IAN GLOBALIST BANKING CLIQUE IS THE ANTI-CHRIST!
No, sorros, with much help from the dems and liberal left wing groups around the world are paving the way and helping to get the world readily to accept the prince of darkness when he is evicted from heaven.
The point I was making is that the Devil has been active on the earth for a long time at least since the time of Christ as the Scriptures state He was tested by Satan and his spirits!
his spirit is active on the earth. his spirit has influence on many, including the high and mighty, as well as the ordinary. satan is bound in heaven right now; per scripture. Several books in the Bible speak of whats happening on this earth right now. Hold on to your seat, because it’s going to get really wild!
AGAIN, THE SCRIPTURE CLEARLY TALKS ABOUT CHRIST BEING TEMPTED SO HE WAS ON THE EARTH ABOUT THAT TIME WITH THE COMING OF CHRIST. CHRIST ASCENDED INTO GLORY PER THEOLOGY AT THE RESURRECTION AND THERE COULDN’T BE ROOM FOR BOTH SATAN AND CHRIST IN HEAVEN. GOD DID CURSE SATAN IN GENESIS FOR WHAT EVE DID IN FOLLOWING HIS TEMPTATION WHICH LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THAT HE WAS BETWEEN THE WORLDS THEN! FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST IS WHEN WE HAVE SEEN MORE SATANIC OPPOSITION TO PROGRESS, ETC!
Study more and ask for understanding. The Scripture clearly states satan tried to tempt Christ. And what did Christ do? He said “get thee behind me satan.” He was not tempted. He basically told satan to get lost.
You have some things mixed up. If you would like, I can point you to some tools that will bring things into focus for you.

GOD DID CURSE SATAN IN GENESIS FOR WHAT EVE DID IN FOLLOWING HIS TEMPTATION WHICH LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THAT HE WAS BETWEEN THE WORLDS THEN! FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST IS WHEN WE HAVE SEEN MORE SATANIC OPPOSITION TO PROGRESS, ETC!
WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE CORDIALLY ON SPECIFICS BUT I BELIEVE THE DEVIL IS MORE ACTIVE NOW THAN HE WAS AND HAS A DIABOLICAL TRIBE OF FINANCIER FOLLOWERS WHO ARE GLOBALISTS AND GEORGE SOROS IS THEIR LEADER! I THINK THEIR GROUP IS THE ANTI-CHRIST!
his spirit influences many. his spirit is active. he will be showing up de facto in Jerusalem in our time, as we are the generation of the fig tree. We are going to be seeing much more than we are seeing now. It will be as in the days of Noah. The main thing is you believe, and that is a good thing.
Please join Grandma Dorothy and I in praying daily for our nation and those testifying to the truth.

All medical boards in ALL western countries are under the Leftist fist and I kid you not. Eventually this will create “doctors” and “nurses like the muslim ones where your race, your politics and your religion will define if and what treatment you will receive. They are killing Hippocrates just as muhammad did 1400 years ago.

There is a definite hoax dimension to the reports of coronavirus as a contributing factor in listing the cause of death.
My wife’s uncle died in April from chronic heart disease and the coronavirus was entered on the death certificate even though he was a shut-in with no social life to endanger him. The hospital said they did not trust the test they had administered to him. Why, because he tested negative?
As Disraeli put it, there are two kinds of lies, lies and statistics.
I don’t know if Disraeli said it, but the corect term is ” There are Lies, Damed Lies, and STATISTICS”

Historians will look back on this time and accurately point out this entire load of crap is about getting rid of a sitting President. Say what you will about the left, but they’ve never sunk to this level before.
ACTUALLY THE LEFT HAS DONE WORSE WHERE THE BOLSHEVIKS/COMMUNISTS GOT THE POWER THE LEFT NOW SEEKS TO GET IN THIS COUNTRY! THE LEFT USED TO NOT BE AS EXTREME IN THIS COUNTRY IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE! STUDY SPAIN BEFORE FRANCO KICKED OUT THE COMMUNISTS, WE ARE REMARKABLY SIMILAR AND JUST ONE ELECTION AWAY FROM GOING THE PRE-FRANCO SPANISH REPUBLICAN-COMMUNIST ROUTE!
IF VP DEMENTIA DADDY JOE BRIBE’M/BIDEN WINS, WE ON THE RIGHT HAVE ONLY ONE SOURCE OF HELP IN THE WORLD TO RUN TOWARDS AND THAT IS RUSSIA! HOPEFULLY, IT WON’T COME TO THAT!
The Miracle of Fatima was realized when the Soviet Union collapsed. Russian under Putin Is the only declared Christian nation in the world. Holy Russia and its Tsar may be destined to save us. There is not a Russian family that did not suffer horrific losses to the Communists. They know that God saved them. God may send the Russians to save us.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE BOLSHEVIKS HAVE THEIR MODERN SUPPORTERS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AS THE RIGHTISTS HAVE NOT YET DONE THERE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CLEANSE THEIR COUNTRY OF THEIR GEORGE SOROS-IAN GLOBALIST BANKING CLIQUE SUPPORTED FILTH! ARE YOU EASTERN ORTHODOX, TOO? IF NOT, YOU SHOULD FIND A RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OUTSIDE OF RUSSIA OR ORTHODOX CHURCH IN AMERICA CHURCH IN YOUR AREA AND INVESTIGATE IT!

Example: In Alberta a man had his pacemaker operation delayed because of the Wuhan Plague. It was considered “non-essential”. He died of heart failure. The hospital wanted to list his death as Covid-19. His wife exploded on them, and went public. Hospital’s reasoning was the cancellation of his operation was Covid-19 related though he tested negative.
Example: 24 year old male in a motorcycle accident arrived at hospital DOA. He tested positive (why waste a kit, we know the virus didn’t kill him). His corps tested positive and so he was listed as a Wuhan Plague victim.
Example: Family member days away from dying of cancer goes into a hospital for hospice care. She passed away from her cancer. The nephew went public because she was listed as a Covid-19 death simply for being in the hospital.
Reports such as this keep popping up all the time.

Minnesota is Utopia. All elected officials are Democrat and the people have to toe the line or else. Minneapolis is all Democrat, The police manual was written be Democrats. The cops followed the manual and Floyd died of a drug overdose. Prior to this, many people passed out because cops followed the manual. The cop who had his knee on the criminal had many previous charges against him but nothing ever happened to him because the DA, Amy Klobuchur, never pressed charges. She became a Senator. Lots of big questions here. The other videos of the incident were never released. The cops will probably be found not guilty. Get ready for more rioting.
