Sources for that contention? On my mother’s death certificate there was a space for the proximate cause of death, and following that there some cascading “due to” lines to be optionally filled in. There’s no “with” area. It’s not free form. Her death was something like acute hypoxia (it was more jargony) and the next line was “Due To” and they filled in a sort of pneumonia, then the next line was “Due To” and they wrote Covid or something similar. Again there’s no spaces for anything extra not relevant to the cause of death. When they count death due to Covid, It’s because it was mentioned on the death certificate as leading to the cause of death.
