Covid deaths are undercounted because not every death involves a covid test to verify cause?



And because a death of say a heart attack - after a bad case of Covid that weakens the heart - goes down as a "heart attack" instead of Covid. The issue that general deaths are up is genuinely something we should be very worried about. Attributing it to the vaccine because of the year in which it happened is just lazy ass cherry picking.


It seems especially egregious without data since you could claim covid fatigue or higher risk behavior after the introduction of vaccines also caused upticks.
