Original Note:
This claim is false. The CDC data shows that for the week ending Aug. 19, 2023, 1.7% of all deaths in the U.S. have died of COVID. This does not mean that 99% of reported COVID deaths weren't caused by the virus. The claim is a distortion of CDC figures. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-deaths-99-percent-cdc-data-828332813362 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/09/18/cdc-covid-19-deaths-correctly-represented-in-data-fact-check/70781817007/ https://checkyourfact.com/2023/10/09/fact-check-cdc-faked-covid-deaths/ BIAS: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/slay-news-bias-and-credibility/
