EXCLUSIVE — House Republicans are challenging conflicting data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the number of child and adolescent deaths due to COVID-19, suggesting that overestimated statistics may be a large-scale problem for the public health agency.
When asked for the NVSS statistic, however, CDC officials responded in early October that the number of deaths through Sept. 27 was only 1,696, based on death certificate data. McMorris Rodgers, Guthrie, and Griffith argue that the discrepancy in the response from the CDC highlights similar concerns that have been raised by other scientists who have analyzed inconsistencies in the CDC's data concerning overreporting.
