Cycle count does not effect deaths. Deaths and hospitalizations have always been a better indicator than cases. Pretty much everyone here has been saying “cases don’t mean anything” for at least 9 months. The lower cycle count has resulted in a significant increase in the new deaths/new cases from about 1.4% to 2%, by eliminating most false positives.
Misunderstanding. I am talking about declaration of infection, dead or alive.
The initial CDC stuff was about reducing workload investigating breakthroughs that were Covid positive at higher cycle counts. They said not to submit reports unless Covid positive at lower (27) cycle count.
But then it appeared that non vaccinated people could be declared Covid positive with cycle counts above 28.
This is just wrong. Don’t have to suspect any sort of conspiracy. It’s just wrong to have different cycle count definitions for vaccinated vs unvaccinated, whether dead or alive.

Scroll down to the reqmt for CT of <28. 30 and 35 have been used as a norm before now.
