He should be investigated. He lied about what the letter says, and he went to the media to do it.
I strongly disagree.
The CDC memorandum instructs doctors to classify ALL pneumonia + COVID fatalities as exclusively COVID fatalities.
Compare that procedure to how Influenza and Influenza Like Illnesses are reported.
During flu season, at least 50% of pneumonia deaths are preceded by Influenza or ILIs - but, less than 10% of those deaths are classified as flu fatalities.
In addition, the CDC instructed doctors to classify ALL “presumed” COVID deaths as “confirmed” COVID deaths.
“The WHO has provided a second code, U07.2, for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available. Because laboratory test results are not typically reported on death certificates in the U.S., NCHS is not planning to implement U07.2 for mortality statistics.”
Bottom Line...
If influenza deaths were reported the same way COVID deaths are reported, there would be more flu deaths than COVID deaths.
