Twitter removes QAnon supporter's false claim about coronavirus death statistics that Trump had retweeted | CNN Politics
Twitter on Sunday took down a tweet containing a false claim about coronavirus death statistics that was made by a supporter of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory -- a post that President Donald Trump had retweeted earlier in the day.www.cnn.com
“The CDC's latest regular update to a public statistics page on the pandemic -- there was nothing especially "quiet" about it -- said that for 6% of the deaths included in its statistics, "Covid-19 was the only cause mentioned" on the deceased person's death certificate.
As Orac mentioned, that 6% means all of those death certificates were filled out incorrectly. Covid should never be listed as the direct cause of death.
The "only 6%" gambit: The latest viral COVID-19 disinformation
New COVID-19 disinformation deceptively claims that "only 6%" of the deaths attributed to COVID-19 were due to coronavirus. It's nonsense.
