From the wiki:

Allegations of inflated death counts

en.wikipedia.org

…A factcheck.org article on the issue reported that while 6% of the death certificates included COVID-19 exclusively as the cause of death and 94% had additional conditions that contributed to it, COVID-19 was listed as the underlying cause of death in 92% of them, as it may directly cause other severe conditions such as pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome….

This understates the case. The CDC comorbidities table includes items “Respiratory failure”, “Cardiac arrest” and “Heart failure”. These aren’t “additional conditions that contributed to it”. The person’s heart stopped because Covid killed them.
