Fast Check CL investigated the information and confirmed its falsehood. By Gabriela Tapia In times of pandemic, many workers have had to reinvent their jobs. No stranger to this phenomenon, Juan Andrés Salfate, publicist and TV panelist, changed his usual theories about UFOs and life outside the planet, due to covid-19 theories. On December 8, through his Twitter account, Salfate assured that had censored a revealing scientific article. Supposedly, this would demonstrate that in 2020 there were no excess deaths due to the pandemic and deaths were “falsely attributed to the pandemic.” > They censor a scientific article that shows that many #Deaths have been > falsely attributed to the #Pandemic and were due to #Heart Diseases, > respiratory and #Flu![VIDEO] ¡Have access > exclusive to my videos by subscribing to my channel! #Censorship > pic.twitter.com/oHsv0baxlo > > — Juan Andrés Salfate (@RinconSalfate) December 9, 2020 ## The source of misinformation The video talks about a document from the Johns Hopkins News-Letter, a media outlet students of the study house.

This was very unusual already that heart disease has always prevailed as the main cause of death.” The phrase indicated in the previous paragraph mainly summarizes the video of Save yourself. However, this question has a fairly simple: people with prevalent illnesses – such as heart problems and respiratory – has a higher risk of death from covid. It should be noted that the document to which Salfate refers was never censored, but withdrawn from circulation due to errors. It is even still found available on the News-Letter page. ## Clarification from Johns Hopkins After a series of conspiracists who drew erroneous conclusions, the Johns Hopkins University itself referred to the issue. In a clarification, They assured that Briand's statements are incorrect: “there is no evidence that COVID-19 has created excess deaths.” “This statement is incorrect and does not take into account the increase in the count gross deaths from all causes compared to previous years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there has “There have been almost 300,000 excess deaths due to COVID-19,” The Johns noted. Hopkins News-Letter. Furthermore, regarding the alleged miscategorization of deaths, they indicated that “Covid-19 disproportionately affects people with medical conditions.” pre-existing conditions, so people with those underlying conditions have statistically more likely to be severely affected and die at cause of the virus." ![\\"\\"](\\" briand-500x500-1.jpg\\")Genevieve BriandSource: Johns Hopkins University ## Excess deaths in Chile Taking this issue to a more local level, it is possible to observe in Chile that this year there has been an increase in deaths linked to covid-19.
