Fauci debunks coronavirus death misinformation promoted by lying covidiot Trump
-
White House coronavirus adviser Anthony S. Fauci on Tuesday refuted online misinformation amplified by President Trump that the virus’s death toll has been vastly overstated in the United States.
The claim was shared by the far-right website Gateway Pundit and a follower of the baseless QAnon theory in Twitter posts that Trump retweeted Sunday, one of which was removed for violating the company’s coronavirus misinformation policy. It falsely claimed that only 6 percent of the nation’s 180,000 reported covid-19 deaths are legitimate, pointing to a statement on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website saying that 94 percent of deaths involved co-morbidities.
“If you look at the people who died of covid disease, the point that the CDC was trying to make was that a certain percentage of them had nothing else but just covid,” Fauci said during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “That does not mean that someone who has hypertension or diabetes who dies of covid didn’t die of covid-19. They did.”

The fact that this has to be clarified is what is astonishing. People in this country….
-
In the UK, COVID-19 deaths were inflated due to actual causes of death being scratched out and COVID-19 being penned in.

Sorry, but you are factually incorrect again. You're just wrong and it's obvious. Just this week, the CDC downgraded the number of deaths to about 7,200, from 182,000, and over 90% of those were elderly, and the others were comorbidity, like obesity and diabetes. It has factually been overstated and you are just plain wrong.

Liberals only like Fauci when he says something they like, but ignore him when he says something they don't such as, in-person voting is perfectly safe.
