Martha Marquez, Harris County Public Health: We can’t confirm that the person died from COVID but we can say that he was Omicron positive at the time of his death.
Dan Cohen: So he died with COVID but you can’t say he died from COVID.
Martha Marquez, Harris County Public Health: Correct. This information comes from our epidemiologists who are the ones who give the reports.
But that doesn’t support the narrative so the mainstream media just stretched the truth once again.
Public officials and media reported that a man in Texas became the first American to die from the Omicron variant. I checked with the Harris County Public Health Department. Turns out that's not true.
