Yes, you are correct about the 6% figure. They merely stated that 6% of cases
that listed covid19 as the sole cause of death failed to list the
co-morbidities. I unfortunately relied on second hand information, never a good
idea.
But you have fallen into the trap of the CDC's tricky manipulation of data.
There have been up to 80,000 deaths per year supposedly caused by influenza
(which strains?). The CDC then gives the mortality rate based upon an
*estimated* number of infections. In other words, any number they want to make
up. They then state the mortality rate among *known* covid infections. These
people at the CDC, the NIH and the FDA are corrupt to the nines. In the FDA,
and I know this is hard to believe, many of the employees' salaries are
actually paid by pharmaceutical companies. I have no doubt something similar
goes on in the NIH and the CDC. Redfield, the director of the CDC, Fauci and
Birx are criminals, nearly convicted of defrauding the government with their
lying about their development of an AIDS vaccine. Strange intervention from
above stopped their prosecution, so they walked. Can't convict those gubmint
employees; they are too far above us. But Fauci wants us to "Do what we are
told." He has yet to put on his Mussolini uniform and helmet to tell us how he
really feels about us.
There are really no reliable stats on covid. The vast majority of people who
have died after being infected would probably have died of something else
within the same time frame. We have destroyed a healthy economy over yet
another infectious disease, and in so doing allowed our enemy to the east to
gain great advantage over us. The so-called cure, lockdowns, is by far worse
than the disease.

No, it did not say that. You have misunderstood. Please stop spreading such
misinformation.
When you take that into account, the common cold probably has a higher
mortality rate.
The common cold (rhinovirus) kills only about a thousand people per year in the
U.S., mainly people who are seriously ill from other diseases. Perhaps you
meant influenza, which kills 20,000 to 30,000 per year. COVID-19 will probably
kill ~350,000 people in one year. (It has killed 250,000 in 10 months.)
Furthermore, influenza infects a much larger fraction of the population than
COVID-19 has infected so far. If COVID-19 were to infect a similar fraction of
the population, it would kill more than a million people. This is much worse
than influenza.
