Can we stop with the blatant falsehoods? In the US it was the third leading cause of death. It was over 10% of all deaths.

- nradov 5y agoThe CDC estimates that the ratio of cases to deaths is about 156 to 1 since the start of the pandemic. The ratio is now dramatically better for vaccinated patients who are far less likely to die if they do get infected. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burden.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burd...
