In some cases, I agree with those deaths being included.  If someone would
not have died had they not also had COVID, or if COVID lead to new chronic
health problems that eventually killed them then, in my mind, they died
"because of COVID."

These are the cases that should not have been counted as "COVID deaths."

They would still count towards total COVID cases, though, and that number
was probably *under-reported* as some people who had certain strains never
knew they had it and never got tested/counted.

My distrust involves how certain persons in government at the time...
mainly Fauci... were using their time in the spotlight to flip-flop their
message in order to troll people who were anti-mask, anti-vax, etc.  He
should have stayed on message and not stooped to that level.  Our state's
leading health official during that time stayed on message and I had no
issues trusting his guidance because he didn't play games.

> Maybe RFK Jr will fix that.

RFK Jr is not a doctor.  Like most politicians, he is a lawyer and has no
business being in charge of the nation's health.
