Ok, I'll ignore the bit where you implicitly claim that 1000's of independent county health offices colluded to produce excess corpses before the vaccine came out, and then somehow hid exponentially more corpses after it came out.

Excess mortality is higher now because we're in the middle of a massive rebound of all the other respiratory illnesses (that were stopped by widespread masking and record flu vaccination last year). Also Covid is still around. Omicron has partially "escaped" the updated vaccines (which you should take anyway).
