      When QAnon conspiracy theories become the lead - here are the facts before you get to the Orwell-lite. That’s some dangerous tripe you’re messing with, Adam. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/cdc-has-not-reduced-the-death-count-related-to-covid-19/2020/08/31/d4305f54-ebd8-11ea-bd08-1b10132b458f_story.html?outputType=amp …https://twitter.com/Adam_Creighton/status/1300615981279002625 …

      I don't know what QAnon is but sorry which part of my column is "dangerous tripe"? Have you written on this topic recently?

      Replying to @Adam_Creighton

      Where to start! Your facts are wrong. Twitter removed the false and discredited assertion re the CDC (see my attached article above) because that’s NOT what the CDC said - so with no peg to hang on, not sure what to say about the rest of your piece.

      Replying to @LaTrioli

      https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm … I directly quoted the CDC website from their 26 August update. "For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned". How is that wrong?

      It's a fairly basic misunderstanding of how death recording processes work. In fact, 95%+ of COVID-19 deaths in the US have COVID-19 as the main (or underlying) cause. I explained in a piece:https://link.medium.com/TaoSqsMKr9
