A few months ago the Biden administration used leverage to get the media to completely stop coverage of COVID-19. As part of that campaign, friendly state governments such as Massachusetts began to redefine what a COVID-19 death was – e.g., instead of counting anyone who died of respiratory illness or organ failure who also tested positive for COVID-19, they would only count those who had the exact classic symptoms of COVID-19. So people who had been previously recorded as a COVID-19 death would be retroactively reclassified as something else. The idea was to have the states do this sequentially and gradually so that the death rate would be reduced, but they screwed up and did too many at once which gave a negative death rate.
