Genevieve Briand gives a presentation titled "COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data”. In this presentation, it is outlined that while we have seen an increase in reported Covid death, we have seen an equal decrease in other deaths. Meaning that overall mortality has not increased despite the pandemic. What we are seeing is that instead of increasing in the death rate, due to the pandemic, we are reclassifying existing deaths as Covid related. Heart Disease is no longer heart disease if the person tests positive for Covid. Now it's a "Covid death".

Mike Pompeo warned all 50 US Governors that China was sending members of the Chinese Communist Party to the United States through the 1,000 talents program. Here, they act as spies for the Chinese Government, stealing our research, or in this case, censoring our information.
If Yanni Gu is a Chinese National, working on behalf of the CCP, she should be deported immediately and an investigation should take place at John's Hopkins to determine if any other students or staff have participated in the Chinese 1,000 talents program.
