      that's the fun part: none of them :)

      the two top causes of death (heart disease and cancer) can both be caused by the third cause (covid) and yet the fact that it's third (IT'S A NEW DISEASE AND IT IS EFFORTLESSLY THIRD) is used as evidence that its not a big deal

          you died because your heart stopped beating. your heart stopped beating because you stopped breathing. you stopped breathing because you had covid.

          ruled: heart failure. :cure-for-fascism:

            That's literally how Japan cooks the books on crime stats. Dude gets beaten to death, if they don't have someone they're going to charge, it gets ruled heart failure.

              Happens in the US, too. Suicides are probably wildly undercounted because of the stigma against suicide. I think it applied to the AIDs crisis, too, where coroners would list almost anything else than put down AIDs.

              And it doesn't help that in most of the country coroners are elected with no required medical training.

          Remember when tons of kids were dying from "Vape Lung" before Covid was ever detected in china but nobody understood why? Heard of anyone dying from "vape lung" since covid dropped? Funny thing about Vape lung is it is essentially a last ditch diagnosis for any undiagnosed lung/breathing issue. In other words if you have an undiagnosable respiratory illness and you vape you have Vape Lung."

          Not saying that Covid was in USA before China... but maybe it was?

      Some - I guess.

      Biden's team, CDC director, and other elite "health" org people will surely have a zoom meeting and come up with a number that sounds plausible but not too politically damaging.

      Look at this comrade implying that the US is still tracking Covid deaths!
