>>12383041Its a symptom and cause of death in many diseases. In the case of covid most death certs will record pneumonia as the cause of death. Thats why covid deaths are reported as/ defined as patients dying within a set period of time of a positive. Its give a trackable constance for disease surviellance. Dumbfuck journalists dont understand this and give a simplified story. Smooth brained alt right-tards spot this and think they are geniuses who have discovered a huge hole in the scientists and doctors methods, start crying CONSPIRACY.
People dont die of covid, they die of associated organ failure. Most people dying "of covid" will not actually have active virus in their bodies. They are dying of the effects of tissue damage from both the acute infection stage as well as from damage wrought by their immune system.
Tissue scarring and fluid in the lung tissues for example which lead to lung failure are a direct consequence of the immune system response.
Think of it like this: Saddam Hussein is the virus, the US military the immune system and Iraq is the lungs.
Sure Saddam and his regime are gone but what was left behind was a malfunctioning clusterfuck.
I suppose Syria would be the kidneys?
