Can you please try a simple web search[0] instead of choosing to spread misinformation by couching it in a question? The CDC did not “correct down” anything; this bad faith argument is like saying that someone who was hit by a car didn’t die from getting hit by a car because the death certificate says they died from “brain haemorrhage”.

Another analogy: it's like saying that somebody who got stabbed 15 times but had hemophilia didn't die of a stabbing.

This guy (blumomo) is arguing in bad faith and yet keeps doubling down. An all-too-common behavior pattern these days.

Internet is full of bullshit these days. “Doing a simple/quick search” is NOT leading to a true understanding of things in 2020.
