No, it means that 94% still died due to COVID, but had pre-existing conditions that made them more susceptible. These are not people that likely would have been on the brink of death otherwise... that is the common misunderstanding in this misinformation.
Over 40% of the US is obese, for example, which increases your likelihood of a fatal outcome. So if you are obese and 40, it’s unlikely that you’d otherwise die in 2020. But if you get Covid and die from it, you’re a part of that 94%.
I said "besides the other 94%" meaning "even ignoring the others 94% who died with preexisting conditions" ... dying itself shouldn't be the only concern, even to those without existing conditions. As there is plenty of evidence of long-term harm to people who survived.
I don't see how that is at odds with anything you said.
