Not sure what point you are trying to make, but if only 300K (or so) were directly due to covid.... then what were the other 300K due to?

It is not debatable that there were over 500,000 excess deaths in 2020. I believe suicides went up some but it has been asserted that flu deaths went down. If some auto accidents were attributed to covid then those went down a little but I'm sure other categories, perhaps heart disease, went up a little. But overall, there have been more than 600,000 excess deaths.

If only 300,000 of those excess deaths can be attributed to covid, then what happened in the last 18 months to cause an additional 300,000 deaths ABOVE what is normal even with covid included?

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
