Skrivet av Clint Eastwood:
Det har kommit ut data från just CDC att det är enbart 6% av dödstalen (~9000) som är enbart p.g.a. Covid.
Jag vill återkomma till just detta. Jag utgår från att det är denna information från CDC som du menar där det sägs att:
"Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned."
Detta är inte detsamma som att "det enbart 6% av dödstalen (~9000) som är enbart p.g.a. Covid".
Detta påstående är en vinkling och feltolkning av vad statistiken säger, som bland annat QAnon spridit. BBC har en artikel, "Coronavirus: The US has not reduced its Covid-19 death toll to 6% of total", som tar upp just detta och där det bl.a. sägs:
The claim, being amplified by supporters of QAnon conspiracies and others, is only 6% of the total number of people with coronavirus on their death certificate actually died from the virus.
This is misleading and not true.
It's correct to state of all the death certificates in the US that mention Covid-19, only 6% mention no other illnesses. However, 92% of the total clearly state Covid-19 as the underlying cause of death. So while a patient may have had lung problems or diabetes referred to on their certificates, coronavirus has been given as the main cause of death.
The CDC also says the death certificates may include conditions caused by coronavirus, such as respiratory issues.
Most people who die from coronavirus are elderly or have had existing health problems. Having underlying health problems makes patients more vulnerable to becoming seriously ill from coronavirus, just as it makes them more vulnerable to becoming very sick from other viruses.
But this doesn't detract from the fact the virus is their primary cause of death.
