Johns Hopkins Report against Venezuela does not exist, it was invented by HRW

The alleged report by Johns Hopkins University and the Human Rights Watch (HRW), does not exist. It is only a summary of the repeated reports by José Miguel Vivanco's NGO, which was presented at a virtual press conference in which doctor Kathleen Page participated. She said, "without having the data at hand," she estimates that there are 30,000 deaths in Venezuela per covid-19, "and Venezuelans are going to suffer a lot.

All of the above combined with Vivanco's intervention to say that Nicolas Maduro is a dictator.

Kathleen Page is, in fact, a member of the Center for Public Health and Human Rights at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, a sort of foundation funded by billionaire Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York and former Democratic presidential pre-candidate, who just last February dedicated a statement of support to Juan Guaidó where he said things like: "Know that when the Maduro government falls, we will support your efforts to rebuild a free, prosperous and democratic Venezuela.

But there is no report from the University, not even from the center to which it belongs. On the center's web page there is only the invitation to the press conference where she would participate.

The only known information on Venezuela and covid-19 by Johns Hopkins University are the statistics it gives in real time on all the countries, which can be consulted here, where the same information offered by the Venezuelan State is reported.

Page, as she commented at the press conference, has been working with HRW for more than a year. She is the same doctor who appeared before the UN Security Council last April 10 to ask that a health emergency be declared in Venezuela, always at Vivanco's side. And she also writes four-handed articles with Tamara Taraciuk, the person Vivanco exclusively employs to deal with Venezuela. Already by March 25, they were writing an article for Chile's La Tercera newspaper criticizing the Venezuelan government in its actions against the coronavirus.

It was added that Page's Twitter account, @DrKathleenPage1, only has 6 tweets in its history, and 5 of them are dedicated against the Venezuelan Government.

It was with this background that Vivanco and Page arrived at the press conference three days ago to talk about Venezuela. Page said he based his assessment on polls taken in Venezuelan hospitals and telephone conversations with doctors where he highlighted the problem of the lack of water. Near the end of the press conference, she released the figure of 30,000 deaths, "being conservative," she said. That figure was reported by the France Press news agency, among others, and from there to dozens of media outlets, such as the Colombian magazine Semana, based on the AFP cable: Venezuela Lies About Death Rates per Covid-19, say HRW and Johns Hopkins.

Page was so reckless that, believe it or not, the HRW report they presented does not include their estimate of the 30,000 deaths, even though they point out, along with Vivanco's already repeated and old paragraphs against the Venezuelan government, that "The real figure is surely much higher due to the scarce availability of reliable evidence.

The data-fake, although it was published in many media, especially in the Americas, was very little publicized among the Venezuelan opposition media, which prefer relative concepts to speculate that a figure that does not come around the corner, something that AFP did not warn, who having a data and "suspicious content" verification service, @AfpFactual, was able to apply it to itself before launching the cable.
