Clickbait BS.

What the CDC actually said: “For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.”

Yeah that’s what the article says. 6% of reported COVID deaths were actually COVID deaths. The rest were deaths of deaths of or from an average of over 2 other causes. If you are 87 and bedridden you are being artificially sustained to a large extent. Complicating that situation with a respiratory infection is just enough to push you over the edge. That does not mean that the respiratory infection caused your death. Expletive deleted.

Gateway Pundit is always click bait. Not sure why they are still allowed here.

Always either repackaged from someplace else with some extra drama thrown in the title or straight up phony bologna.

Jim Hoft does that a lot. I pretty much don’t read anything he writes.

These “causes” of death are still “causes” of death that aren’t COVID-19.

Thanks for putting this so simply. I searched for a way to say this is nonsense. I am not the sharpest person but even I can see fallacy of the idea that only 6% of the deaths are Covid-related only. Although we cannot know how many deaths would have occurred even without Covid, it is logical to conclude that most deaths were triggered by the virus.

You missed the mortality charts that showed actual deaths vs. expected deaths...for most part, death rate hasn’t gone up enough to allow for 150K+ Covid deaths and only shows a few minor spikes (probably nursing home hits)...most of the folks who “died of Covid” were statistically going to die if there was no Covid.
