    Just so everyone knows, the title is... wrong.
    The CDC, as of some time in the middle of 2020, tracks "PIC deaths" not coronavirus deaths. PIC stands for pneumonia, influenza, and coronavirus. So, 300,000 deaths aren't coronavirus deaths, they are deaths due to P, I, and C.

    It is sensible for the CDC to do this: dead patients are not tested.

    Biden is said to ramp up and release all the vaccine count to get more shots in arms. The down side to that, They are worried about not having enough vaccine doses for the second shot.

    That has been debunked:

    Interesting. I didn't get my info from fb, I got it from the cdc website.

    here's a cdc link with graph:
    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html

    They are being conservative by using the terms "coronavirus-like" and "influenza-like".

    From day 1, if someone dies and has coronavirus, they are labelled as a coronavirus death, almost regardless of what they actually dies from. Again, this makes sense since assigning cause would require a significant investigation. However, this means that the numbers are overblown.

    I didn't mean to say that you did get it from fb. The CDC site does contain information on PIC deaths, like you said, but only the coronavirus portion of the PIC deaths are included in the stats on Covid-19 deaths: “[N]owhere on the CDC or NCHS sites does it say that CDC is counting all PIC deaths as COVID-19 deaths,” Robert Anderson, chief of the mortality statistics branch at the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, told us in an email statement. “This is not true. Only the COVID-19 deaths are counted as COVID-19 deaths.”

    Is it okay to believe Democratic (or Independent) science over Republican science? Asking for a friend.......
