Yes I can't remember when the 6% number came out but it has been known for a long time that numbers are inflated.
Dr birx said something along these lines back during the daily briefings. "We are taking a very liberal approach to this, if you die WITH covid, you are counted as a covid death."
There's a lot people have forgotten in the short space of a year. Early back when the focus was on the rising cases rather than the deaths, they openly admitted they were doing 'case weighting', if one person had a case and assuming they had an average of, say 12 (I can't remember the exact number they used) people in their close circle, that was being counted as 12 cases.
It's interesting that, of all the comorbidities listed, "influenza and pneumonia" is the top of the list with 245,121. So they're saying the flu or bacterial pneumonia "contributed" to the death, but COVID-19 was still listed as the cause of death? How is that possible?

It's literally in this paragraph. (Along with the actual cause of death) https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Comorbidities
