I've been following excess deaths since March, 2020. I have focused mainly on the US excess deaths.
In 2020 (before Covid vaccine): there were 528,891 excess deaths in the US, an 18% increase over 2019 mortality numbers. Out of those excess deaths, 350,831 were caused directly by Covid and the remaining 178,060 excess deaths were due to increases in top causes of death like heart disease, kidney disease, COPD, Alheimer's, etc. Those excess non-Covid deaths occurred because of lack of medical care because medical resources were directed towards Covid patient care and because people were afraid to go to the hospital or clinics for fear of catching Covid.
In 2021, there were 609,393 excess deaths. Those include 416,893 directly caused by Covid and 192,500 from lack of medical care. In 2021, Biden lifted mask and social distancing mandates, even though not everyone was able to get vaccines right away due to early prioritization to high risk groups.
In 2022, there were 418,867 excess deaths, again split between Covid deaths (244,986) and lack of medical care (173,881). By 2022, vaccines were no longer rationed or prioritized, so increasing numbers of people were vaccinated.
So far, in 2023, "only" 62,447 people have died from Covid. I do not know about excess deaths related to lack of healthcare resources because I can only look up such data after the year finishes. (I keep a spreadsheet containing current case and death data for Covid.)
Why the drop in excess deaths in 2023?
Covid vaccine. By May, 2023, over 81% of people had received at least one dose, and 69.5% had received the primary series. COVID-19 Vaccinations in the United States, final update.
Unfortunately, because of coordinated efforts to spread vaccine misinformation, the rate of people getting vaccinated has slowed down and the number of people getting boosters has dropped. In addition, immunity against coronaviruses drops significantly in the months following vaccination or infection. What this all means is that the death numbers which seem to have decreased from 2022 to 2023 can go right back up.
There: a lot of excess deaths, explained.

You answered your own question.
Thankfully, people woke up to the misinformation Fauci and his echo chamber pounded out into the media non-stop. They watched friends and family die after being vaxxed and saw others permanently maimed by stroke, cardio damage, etc.
Excess deaths are running 8% above the expectation in 2023. Most of those are under age 62.
After all the people who supposedly “died of covid” (when most of them seemed to be a non-treatment protocol), the excess deaths should be running below the trend.
