After Director Walensky took a beating on social media for her clip that 75% of deaths had at least 4 comorbidities and were “unwell”, the CDC went into damage control. They released a statement that clarifies that she was speaking about vaccinated people. That’s because the real number for overall comorbidities is on the CDC website and is actually 95% that have 4 comorbidities. So they didn’t want her to look like an idiot. Good for them.

Cases aren’t deaths. Even the media has acknowledged this. 580,000 kids?!!? Oh wow!! Have a cold!!! Oh boy oh boy. 678 out of 74,000,000 have died. All but 10 were massively unhealthy. As for my own risk factor, the Oxford calculator that’s looked at age comorbidities etc… I have a 0.0028% chance of dying. I’ll take that risk over pharma intervention. Foxes guarding the chicken coop and all.
Once my chance of death gets to 2%… let’s chat. So - like when I’m over 65.
Great data! But let's be clear about how to interpret it. These aren't all co-morbidities and preexisting conditions. Respiratory failure is one of the additional causes of death in the chart, often listed with COVID-19. And if you've looked at death certificates, "cardiac arrest" is almost always on there. We can't confuse co-morbidities with additional causes of death, and we can't say across the board that additional causes of death listed on a certificate trivialize the role of COVID.
