Original Note:
This is a misleading headline. It refers to just one week of Covid deaths in August 2023, in which only 1.7% of COVID deaths had no other listed causes. By contrast, in 2021, 30% of COVID deaths were only attributable to COVID: https://nypost.com/2023/08/28/99-of-new-covid-19-deaths-reported-by-cdc-not-just-due-to-virus-data/
