Birx stated it clearly. Also, many hospital staff including NYC are reporting that they have been briefed on putting down CV as cause of death, even if it was only peripheral to the actual cause of death. Pumping up the death count for CV will paint a false narrative that only prolongs the panic.

... which is their intent:

You can bet, based on their statements and policies given to hospitals that all of it was put down as COVID, regardless of whether it was seasonal flu, pneumonia, or another respiratory problem.

Birx stated it clearly.

Birx was indeed clear. She did not say that. She quite explicitly did not say that. The CDC policies given to the hospitals also explicitly do not say that.

That may be, as it is in NYCs financial interest to get the federal government to pay for the treatment, and well, that’s how stuff is done in NYC.

As for narrative, that is entirely unnecessary for NYC, as the COVID cases greatly outnumber all other deaths combined. It’d be just a drop in the bucket through the past week and a half. 150 deaths per day (Low 140, high 158) is typical for NYC, and the COVID deaths have averaged 436/day. Even if you mis-assigned ALL of the other deaths to be COVID - which would also be obvious - with those numbers the narrative would be the same.
