Comorbidities does not = going to die anyways. If someone has COPD, pneumonia, and gets Covid and dies, Covid is not the sole cause of death, but sans Covid they would have recovered and not died.
Of course in some cases, but people aren't getting it. Neither does this mean that they wouldn't have died without Covid either. You, and those counting these as Covid deaths, are presuming they wouldn't have. It is that presumption, that is not scientifically valid. How do you know they wouldn't have died from the severe heart disease they already had?
They very well may have, but if they died in 2 weeks vs 2 years did Covid not hasten their death and take years from them? I completely agree the number of covid deaths was inflated for political purposes. I would guess 1/4-1/3 of the deaths should not have been attributed to Covid. Driving drunk and wrecking your car while you tested positive for Covid does not a covid death make .. but by the same token having a comorbidity does not mean covid was not the major cause of death.

It's still a factor. A positive test involving a car accident is likely the result of covid impairing driving, ultimately causing death.

... and we all know that people with pre-existing conditions deserve to die; so why worry about them when shaping covid policies?

That's an assumption; It may or may not be true. Some people with covid are asymptomatic i.e. zero symptoms. The decision to label such a car crash as covid-caused is a policy, not a medical and scientific fact.

It is a contributing factor. Just because there is no symptom does not mean it does not affect you. It does.

In early January, a person working with the U.S. National Vital Statistics System said 1 death was being counted as 2, in order to make the number of overall 2020 deaths "look" much higher, due to Covid-19. Her complaint (whistleblower) document was leaked, and was online for a short time (a couple of days) before it was scrubbed.
Like you said, from what we know of the HHS-CDC, there are full-blown scumbags in charge of some key departments. One of them is the sister of Trump witch-hunt initiator, former Assistant Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein.

Fact is we live in an unhealthy and overweight society
while it is easy to sit at ones computer and blame the individual for succumbing to covid 19 because it was their fault for being unhealthy and over weight, society as a whole still has an obligation to protect these people.

They could have paid the healthcare workers more to stay secluded for a while till a decent vaccine came out to protect those at high risk, sort of like how people at risk get the pneumonia vaccine.

Yeah, that ended with Donald Trump and Covid-19. We embrace the ignorance now, and often times amplify it.

Because these aren't claims of 're-attributing', what they are doing is counting a single death more than once, to falsely provide the appearance of 'excess deaths'.

"SAN JOSE (KPIX) — On Friday, Santa Clara County health leaders announced a drop in its COVID-19 death toll by nearly a quarter after it refined its approach in reporting the data.
The county reported that it had reviewed each COVID-19 fatality and was only counting those whose cause of death was from the virus and not those who tested positive for COVID-19 at the time of death but did not necessarily die from the virus.
The new approach meant that the death toll dropped by 22%, specifically from 2,201 to 1,696 deaths.
“It is important to go back and do this accounting to see if COVID was actually the cause of death,” said University of California San Francisco Prof. of Medicine and Infectious Disease expert Dr. Monica Gandhi. “I think that transparent communication is an upside, I mean, in the sense that it’s true that if we did this across the nation, it would bring our death rate lower. A downside of that, could be that people will say, ‘Well, it wasn’t as serious as you said.'”"

Wrong way to do it. Should not bring human judgment into it. Every death after positive test should count, regardless if there was obvious symptom. Virus works in subtle ways. Even when there is no obvious symptom, internal organs can be damaged, or neurological damage, which result in death.
By adopting the new standard, they are under counting covid deaths to make Biden look good. But it is a disservice to the public.

Since the vaccine is still experimental, every death within a few weeks of being injected with the drug should list the "vaccine" as being an underlying trigger.
Even motorcycle accidents where the rider simply "passed out" and crashed.
Both Covid-19 and the Vaccines are filled with unknowns. It's best to be conservative and treat both threats the same.
