Based on what definition? The CDC admitted that 94% of the deaths attributed to COVID in the United States were deaths with COVID. The average age of death was the same as the average life expectancy in the US. The average COVID "death" had over two (2) serious comorbidities.

100% of deaths attributed to COVID are _also_ deaths with COVID.

What's your point?

My point is that the PCR tests used to diagnose COVID were dialed up to 40 cycles, which results in "positive" results even when there's no infectious material in the person. This caused 94% of the deaths, by the CDC's own admission, to be misclassified as COVID when the true primary cause of death was something else.
