The CDC website says that only 6% of the people who have died from COVID actually died of COVID because they also had other conditions. Social media is promoting this to minimize COVID. This political spin doesn’t prevent disease. It causes it.

This? I guess some could misinterpret or misuse it, but I don't think it says what Andy implied in his tweet. Rather, it implies that 94% either had a pre-existing comorbidity or a COVID-related complication listed on their death certificate. I don't see it as misleading.pic.twitter.com/bBwVzYJVD3
