re: We don't know how many people died FROM Covid, therefore can't know Vax effectiveness

I thought you could easily use excess deaths over a 5-year average to work the actual death count. The US has an an excess of 721,000 deaths since the pandemic started compared with the expected average. Some of which you could argue is non-pandemic-related or lockdown-related but it is far from the majority. LINK Therefore, using excess deaths, the rest of your points seem rather less impactful or correct considering it's calculating the *excess* number of deaths.

So, just assume any excess deaths are from the virus nobody can identify?

Why not just blame it on the Grim Reaper?

Hospitals and doctors offices were being closed off i.e.normal care was going to the curb. Ambulances were going all over around my rural home and it was from covid. It was from old people not getting routine care.
