In the [When is a Covid-19 death NOT a Covid-19 death?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=893533) thread, **Urbanredneck** says [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=22233359&postcount=7) about a Connecticut case: > [@](#): > > Right now if a person dies of something but they test their blood and find their are positive, I think they might list the cause as the virus even though it wasnt the cause. > > For example [THIS](https://www.wgal.com/article/7-week-old-baby-in-connecticut-diagnosed-with-coronavirus-dies/32019329) case in Connecticut an infant died from another cause, maybe trauma or abuse, but is officially listed as Covid 19 due to the baby having it. If you click through to the link, it says: > [@](#): > > The unidentified child from Hartford was unresponsive when taken to the hospital recently and could not be revived. The infant tested positive during a postmortem exam for the virus that causes COVID-19, said Josh Geballe, the governor’s chief operating officer. > > Dr. James Gill, the state’s chief medical examiner, said the infant had no other known medical conditions. An autopsy has been done but more tests are needed before a cause of death can be determined, he said. As **HMS Irruncible** neatly summed up a couple posts downthread: > [@](#): > > No, the article does not say the infant died from another cause. > > No, the article does not mention trauma or abuse. > > No, the article does not say what the cause of death was officially listed as. > > \ > > In summary, you just invented 3 things that bear no resemblance whatsoever to the article. Can’t improve on that. It just seems I’ve been in a number of threads with our redneck friend lately where I think, “that’s a huge stretch” but I just let it skate, because I’ve got enough other things on my mind, and maybe there’s a doubt he deserves the benefit of. But in this case, to quote Tevye, there is no ‘other hand.’ This is just making shit up to suit one’s position, world view, or whatever, and using that made-up shit to support one’s argument. So **Urbanredneck** , welcome to your Pitting. ---

I fully support this pitting. I’m so fucking sick and tired of him posting bullshit and never coming back when he gets called on it. He just shits and runs. I usually don’t join in these sort of threads, but I’m done with this sort of fucking playing with the truth. Fuck you Urbanredneck. You should fucking be ashamed of yourself. ---

As far as I’m concerned the guy is THE embodiment of Trump’s America. He’s the embodiment of every mindless meme, every “I BET YOU WON’T COPY AND PASTE THIS” faux patriotic blathering, posted by everyone’s uneducated creep family member that they moved across the country to get away from. ---

I don’t think he made it up himself. I saw another trolly right wing poster on another board post something similar. I think he’s parroting a right wing talking point from somewhere. > [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > My god, that’s _brilliant._ I’m gonna start doing that right away. So it’s not him who is brilliant. Just someone he’s watched on TV or read on Twitter. ---

Well he did once tell a story so unbelievable and yet so hilarious that is still makes me laugh: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=767695&highlight=jacket](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=767695&highlight=jacket) Post #19 > [@Do insects seek revenge if you try to kill them](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-insects-seek-revenge-if-you-try-to-kill-them/730383/19): > > Well you probably wont believe this but a friend of mine said that he once walked into his shed and there was this big wasp colony. He saw them and slowly backed away. He began to daily walk in and walk out and soon they had an “understanding” that he wouldnt harm them and they would not go after him. It worked well that he easily could just walk in and out doing his business and the wasps would peacefully go about theirs. While if another person tried this, the wasps went after them. Well once he walked in and one particular wasp was being aggressive towards him. He left and when he came back, that wasp was dead and the others were acting peaceful. It seems they “took care of one of their own”. > > So while you might think a particular wasp might not be so smart, hive insects can form a central “brain” and have higher level thinking. This is why often beekeepers can work around their own hives and not get stung while the bees will attack newcomers. ---

Isn’t he an anti-vaxxer as well? I could be mixing him up with other knuckleheads, but it seems to be right up his alley. “One time a friend of mine took his kid in for vaccinations, and the kid got autism from one of them, and when the friend returned to the doctors office EVEN THE NURSE THAT GAVE THE AUTISM SHOT GOT AUTISM!!” ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > Isn’t he an anti-vaxxer as well? I could be mixing him up with other knuckleheads, but it seems to be right up his alley. Yes, he was busy promoting that VAXXED movie, claiming he was just asking questions. After everyone tore apart his arguments and bullshit, he wrote that as long as people were talking about the movie “he won.” ---
