The CDC isn't altogether feckless. If you know how to parse the data - you can get to some interesting details. The parsed CFR rate tells a very interesting story.
dropping CFR is expected based on the evolutionary gradient. killing the host is maladaptive to maximizing gene spread.
seeing it rise mid pandemic is like seeing water flow uphill. if you see it, smart bet is that there's an extremal force at work.
overlay "vaccine uptake" onto it and see how it aligns. betcha it's pretty tight.
a leaky (non-sterilizing) vaccine that does provide protection from severe outcomes is PRECISELY what selects for hotter viruses with higher fatality. (as in mareks disease in chickens)
Was there any attempt by the CDC to follow up on “probable cases.” Was there evidence of a test result coming in after the death certificate was filed and was the certification changed?

it's a well known and greatly feared phenomenon.

it's looking more and more like it's happening here.
the fact that it's not currently all hands on deck to get to the bottom of this issue is criminal.

So according to this chart at the bottom, the CFR has mostly decreased (specifically for the 30-39 category)
