Art Moore wrote in a Jan. 3 WorldNetDaily article:
The head of a $100 billion insurance company says all-cause deaths have spiked an astonishing 40% among people ages 18-64 compared to pre-pandemic levels.
It's an unprecedented rate that is four times higher than a once-in-200-year catastrophe, said Scott Davison, CEO of Indianapolis-based OneAmerica, during an online news conference last Thursday reported by the news site Center Square.
"We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica," Davison said.
"The data is consistent across every player in that business."
So far, so accurate -- though, weirdly, Moore didn't link to the article on Center Square he claims to be quoting from but, rather, to Center Square's "about" page. But because Moore must work a COVID conspiracy into everything, he started to deviate from the established facts:
Meanwhile, the daily number of deaths from COVID-19, according to the state dashboard, is less than half of what it was a year ago.
The news drew the attention of epidemiologists concerned about the collateral damage caused by COVID-19 mitigation efforts. And while there is no data showing a correlation between death and vaccination, experts concerned about the safety of the vaccines also took note.
Davison, referring to the third and fourth quarters of 2021, said it's not primarily elderly people who are dying, but "working-age people 18 to 64" who are the employees of companies that have OneAmerica plans.
Significantly, the CEO noted that most of the claims for deaths being filed are not classified as COVID-19 deaths.
But Davison apparently doesn't see a possible connection to the vaccines.
Moore didn't mention what Davison actually did say:
“Whether it’s long COVID or whether it’s because people haven’t been able to get the health care they need because the hospitals are overrun, we’re seeing those claims start to tick up as well,” he said.
Because of this, insurance companies are beginning to add premium increases on employers in counties with low vaccination rates to cover the benefit payouts.
In that Center Square article that Moore didn't actually link to, Davison was more specific:
“What the data is showing to us is that the deaths that are being reported as COVID deaths greatly understate the actual death losses among working-age people from the pandemic. It may not all be COVID on their death certificate, but deaths are up just huge, huge numbers.”
Instead, Moore decided to indulge a conspiracy theory from a prolific COVID misinformer:
However, Dr. Robert Malone, who has three decades of experience at the highest levels of vaccine development, said in an interview Monday morning that the insurance CEO's statistics point to vaccine injuries.
Davison, Malone told Steve Bannon on "War Room," is talking about a working population of people "who are likely to be highly jabbed because they’ve been under employer mandates."
"And what you need to do is compare that event rate that he is reporting to the event rate of death and COVID-related death in the general population," Malone said.
In fact, there is no evidence whatsoever that COVID vaccines are causing mass death in the U.S. or anywhere.
Such dishonest reporting is yet another reason nobody believes WND -- and why it's going down the tubes.
