All of the "CDC Shows 94% of COVID-19 Deaths Had Underlying Medical Conditions!" stories are bullshit cartoons.

Rusty tries to be nice in describing the people who buy these cartoons as a put option on thinking.

I don't. https://www.epsilontheory.com/the-cartoon-put/#.X0449RpHL3w.twitter

If you think Covid is a scam because a virus that attacks the cardiopulmonary system is coded w/ pneumonia (42%), respiratory failure (34%), ARDS (14%), other respiratory failure (9-14%), and cardiac arrest and arrhythmia (13-36%), then you are a fool.

If you think Covid is a scam because 22% of deaths were coded w/ hypertension (1/2 of Americans), or 16% w/ diabetes and pre-diabetes (1/3 of Americans), or 11%-15% w/ dementia, Alzheimer’s and other conditions hitting half of Americans > 85, then you are a sociopath.

If you think Covid is a scam even though the actual flu has the same laundry list of coded comorbidities in more than 90% of deaths, as do DOZENS of other viral infections that make you die in specific ways for which an ICD-10 code exists, then you are a sociopathic fool.
