Joey it's all double speak. Watching Tucker Carlson the other night they had their doctor "explain" what was going on with the CDC figures and what that meant. He goes through some gibberish before ending up saying at the end, "they are not dying of the covid they are dying of the inflammation".
Same difference. Why?
One of the great mysteries of the new coronavirus is why it causes only mild disease in most people, but turns fatal for others. In many cases, it seems the worst damage may be driven by a deranged immune response to the infection, rather than the virus itself.
In many of the sickest patients with COVID-19, their blood is teeming with high levels of immune system proteins called cytokines.
Scientists believe these cytokines are evidence of an immune response called a cytokine storm, where the body starts to attack its own cells and tissues rather than just fighting off the virus.
Cytokine storms are known to happen in autoimmune diseases like juvenile arthritis. They also occur during certain kinds of cancer treatment, and can be triggered by infections, like the flu. One study of patients who died of H1N1 influenza, for example, found that 81% had features of a cytokine storm.
Though the virus that causes COVID-19 has been circulating for only a few months, early research shows that like other infections, it, too, may cause this kind of catastrophic immune problem, and researchers say the size of the storm it triggers is gale-force.
He says there’s something unique about the virus that causes COVID-19.
“This virus acts different than other viruses, especially common viruses. Most people who get infected with Epstein-Barr or influenza, they don’t mount this response,” Konig says.
Yet a significant portion of patients who are hospitalized for COVID-19 have higher cytokines.

So in essence Joey if a person hadn't gotten covid their bodies wouldn't have produced excess catecholamines, which is the chemical the body releases that causes the cytokine-storms. It really doesn't matter that the person died because their immune response triggered an avalanche of catecholamines that ended up destroying their cells in this so called cytokine-storm, what matters is the fact that Covid set off the bodies immune response to do such. Yes they died as a direct result of their immune system attacking them but the fact will always remain the same that it was a direct result of getting the covid, if they hadn't gotten it they'd still be alive today.
Any other time we'd call this "putting make up on a pig" but the political arena's are so desperately playing up against one another they try to hide the fine print while pushing and putting out false notions. You can list a person's death as autoimmune disease as a comorbidity because certain people happen to have this "deranged response" but the deranged response was a direct result of covid. You can list a person's death as acute respiratory distress syndrome as a comorbidity (because the immune response destroyed the lung cells) but at the end of the day the fact will always be that it was a direct result of getting covid. It's pure double speak. It's a desperate attempt to make something sound better than it is. It's sad because there's many people out there who can figure it out, some may be insulted enough to vote for the other party, others, like myself, won't because at the end of the day voting for the other is worse than them dressing up the pig.
