Project Veritas today released another video featuring conversations with funeral home directors and their staff throughout New York City questioning the number of deaths officially attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In late April, a Project Veritas reporter spoke with Michael Lanza, the director of Staten
Island's Colonial Funeral Home.

"To be honest with you, all of the death certificates are writing COVID on it, they're writing
COVID on all the death certificates," Lanza said.

Lanza said DeBlasio might see inflated COVID death tallies as a way to bring more money to New York City. "Whether they had a positive test or didn't, so I think again this is my
personal opinion, I think like the mayor and our city--they're looking for federal funding and the more they put COVID on the death certificate the more they can ask from the federal funds."

The Staten Island funeral director said it did not add up to him.

"I think it's political, so, I'm going to turn around and say: 'You know, like, not everybody
that we have here that has COVID on the death certificate died of COVID.' Can I prove that? No, but that is my suspicion."
