■「去年10月~今年4月的美國流感數據」:正確。

所提數據與美國CDC官網估計相符。但須留意,此數字與歷年流感季預估死亡人數差異不大,2010年來美國與流感相關死亡人數的低點是12,000人、高點是79,000人。

■「有新冠死亡病例被誤認流感死亡」:易誤解。

①美國CDC主任Dr. Redfield的確在聽證會提及,部分原認為是流感患者死後才確診COVID-19,但此類人數無法統計,因並非每個城市/州/醫院都有死於肺炎的監測系統。

②但「議員追問下承認」屬作者個人詮釋,此資訊僅表示原認定的流感死者中存在COVID-19患者、美國監測系統存有限制,無法推論美國政府刻意隱匿。

③各國亦多有流感死者經檢驗確診COVID-19者,例如台灣2月15日死亡個案即屬此類。
