Johns Hopkins - Closer Look U.S. Deaths
Student newspaper deletes article on study that found COVID has had little effect on U.S. deaths this year: “Though making clear the need for further research, the article was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the pandemic,” the newspaper tweeted Thursday night. “We regret that this article may have contributed to the spread of misinformation about COVID-19.”
Fact Check: Johns Hopkins Student Paper Retracted Because CDC Data DOES Show Excess Deaths Caused By Covid-19: Is it true the lethality of COVID-19 is being overblown by government
mortality data, and was a Johns Hopkins University student paper
censored when it posted a story about that claim? No, that is not true.
There is no evidence that official COVID-19 death tallies have hidden
some other cause of unexpected deaths in 2020. The student paper's
retracted article contained inaccuracies that should have been caught
during the editing process -- errors that led to online sharing of
misinformation, according to The Johns Hopkins News-Letter managing
editors. A version of the story can still be found online and the
News-Letter staff kept a PDF version, eradicating censorship concerns.
