Oh baby….we are gonna have fireworks over this one!
Yes folks, the "holier than thou" CDC has just released new data, and they've revised themselves yet again.
But this is HUGE.
They've just admitted what we've all been saying all along….
Only 6% of all "COVID deaths" were due to COVID alone.
94% of those had other underlying conditions.
Not only that but "on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death"!
In other words, if you take out all the "got shot, then eaten by a shark, then set on fire, then died of COVID" data, the death total drops from about 161,000 to about 9,700.
Folks, did we just kill our economy and uproot our normal lives over 9,700 deaths?
I don't want ANYONE to die, but did we just shut down the economy for 5 months for something no more deadly than the flu?
According to WebMD:
Ok folks, just take a look for yourself:

Local Fox8 confirmed the stunning admission:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data last week that depicts how many Americans who have died from COVID-19 also had underlying medical conditions.
According to the report, only 6% of deaths have COVID-19 as the only cause mentioned, revealing that 94% of patients who died from coronavirus also had underlying health conditions
The report reads in part:
Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). 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.

The CDC listed the following as the top underlying medical conditions linked to coronavirus deaths:
Influenza and pneumonia
Respiratory failure
Hypertensive disease
Diabetes
Vascular and unspecified dementia
Cardiac Arrest
Heart failure
Renal failure
Intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events
Other medical conditions
Global coronavirus cases now top 25 million, with US leading the count
The CDC explains that their data uses provisional death counts to “deliver the most complete and accurate picture of lives lost to COVID-19.”
These numbers are based on death certificates, which the organization says are the most reliable source of data. Death certificates reportedly contain information that is not available anywhere else and includes comorbid conditions, race and ethnicity, and place of death.

The CDC says provisional death counts may not match counts from other sources, such as numbers from county health departments, because death certificates take time to be completed, states report at different rates, it takes officials extra time to code COVID-19 deaths, and because other reporting systems use different definitions or methods for counting deaths.
