I watch the excess death numbers. This is total deaths from any cause. It's my understanding these numbers are hard to fake, because they are an aggregation of state reported numbers, and the state could see if the CDC was fiddling with their report.

It's not foolproof, but it's the most dependable data I've found.

I don't see a way to separate COVID deaths from Vax induced deaths (especially since it doesn't seem like most vax induced deaths are being linked to vax anyway).

If I was an independent journalist, I would be starting with these numbers here, grabbing a random thread, and tracing each of the deaths in that thread back to mortuary, family, etc.

It's the only way to get good data. These secondhand anecdotes of vax deaths are basically useless for analysis.
