CDC REPORT: 99% of Recent “COVID Deaths” Were Not Caused By Virus

According to official data, the virus is not the primary cause of over 99 percent of “Covid deaths” listed by the CDC each week.

The coronavirus was only the primary cause of death in 1.7% of the 324 Covid deaths reported in the week ending August 19 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Covid dashboard.

According to the statistics, just a small number of Americans die each week as a direct result of the infection. For instance, at the height of the pandemic in America in 2021, the virus was responsible for one in three “Covid deaths.”

The illness, circumstance, or other event that started the series of incidents that directly led to death is referred to as the primary or underlying cause of death.

When doctors record a death certificate, complications of the initial cause of death are sometimes regarded as secondary causes.

For instance, if the virus puts an individual with a pre-existing cardiac problem under too much strain, Covid may be classified as a secondary cause of death.

Heart disease would be indicated as the main cause of death, with COVID listed as a contributing factor.

The percentage of deaths attributed to Covid in the week ending August 19 shows a little increase from the prior week and carries on a five-week rising trend, but it represents a sharp reduction from the pandemic’s height, when Covid was the leading cause of death in 30% of cases.

While the CDC has not disclosed the primary cause of death in cases where Covid was a secondary factor, other data from the organiz ation indicates that, as of this point in August, cancer has been the leading cause of mortality in the US, followed by heart illnesses.

According to Covid data, the rates of deaths are greater in Washington, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, and New York. With 3.4 percent, Maryland and Florida have the highest rates.

North Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, and New York all float around 2%.

In the week ending August 19, Covid caused one to nine deaths in more than a dozen states.

According to data, women and older adults with a death age of 75 or more have slightly higher death rates than men.

The newly released Covid data will be comforting at a time when anxiety is spreading in the US due to the spread of extremely contagious new Covid variants that are increasing infections and hospitalizations while also forcing the reintroduction of some Covid mandates.

Recently, new varieties EG.5, also known as Eris, and BA.8.26, also known as Pirola, have been found in a number of international locations, including the US.

These severely altered forms are expected to be better at bypassing vaccinations and innate immunity, leading to an increase in infections.

While hospital admissions for those with the virus have increased for the sixth week in a row and infections appear to have doubled across the US amid the advent of these variations, they nevertheless remain at almost historic lows.

Importantly, though, Covid fatalities are not rapidly increasing.

The Hollywood film studio Lionsgate strengthened mask requirements and asked its employees to wear facial covers at its Santa Monica, California offices as a result of the fear about a Covid surge last week. However, the movie company changed its mind a short while afterwards.

Face masks will once again be needed for employees and students, according to announcements made last week by Morris Brown College in Georgia and Rutgers University in New Jersey.

In addition, mask requirements for physicians, nurses, patients, and visitors have been reinstated at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Santa Rosa, California, and Upstate Community Hospital in Syracuse, New York.

Less than two weeks after the start of the school year, the Lee County School District in Kentucky postponed classes last week because about one-fifth of its kids were absent due to a “tripledemic” disease that included the flu, strep throat, and Covid.

President Biden stated on Friday that his administration will ‘likely’ advise Americans to obtain a second Covid booster shot in the upcoming weeks.

On Friday, Obama signed a bill requesting more cash from Congress to upgrade Covid vaccinations to properly defend against the new types.

However, only 18% of eligible Americans have received any kind of booster, indicating that there is minimal desire among Americans in receiving them.
