It's the Trump administration forcing the CDC to change it, so he can get reelected. An example would be Herman Cain. Cain went to the Tulsa rally and shortly after came down with Covid. Around four weeks later he died from Covid.
Herman Cain had in the past stage IV colon cancer. Trump changed it to where the stats showed that Herman Cain died from colon cancer. That's a lie. Herman suffered a miserable painful death from Covid not cancer.
July 30, 2020 -- Herman Cain, a former Republican presidential candidate and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, died Thursday. He was 74.
Cain died 4 weeks after being hospitalized with COVID-19.
“We knew when he was first hospitalized with COVID-19 that this was going to be a rough fight,”
wrote Dan Calabrese, the editor for website HermanCain.com. "He had trouble breathing and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. We all prayed that the initial meds they gave him would get his breathing back to normal, but it became clear pretty quickly that he was in for a battle.”
Cain, Cabrese wrote, “was basically pretty healthy in recent years, [but] he was still in a high-risk group” because of his history with
cancer, as well as his age. “We all prayed so hard every day. We knew the time would come when the Lord would call him home, but we really liked having him here with us, and we held out hope he’d have a full recovery.”
