In plain sight. "After a short illness".
Overall death rates are increasing in 2021. They were expected to increase because of the passing of the Boomer generation. However, the increase is about 20% higher than was expected by the actuaries. And it is across age groups 16-65, which is much younger than expected.

I look at the obits for my community every day. The site covers close to 500k people throughout western new england.
The number of young people (Under, say 35) dying has not really lit a light. Sure, there are people dying young. But if you read closely they are drug overdoses, cancer or suicide.
I’ve asked my kids and their friends if they have experienced any loss of peers (they are in this group.) Nothing of any significance.
My daughter is a paramedic, and also handles the paperwork for all admits through the entire region’s paramedic networks. Lots of ODs. Motorcycle accidents are up. Almost no COVID or Respiratory transports for young folks.

Yes, rare interactions of the vaccine have been noted. I know people at hospitals who have seen them. A close friend had one of the auto-immune reactions from the very first batch of vaccine.
My point is that if all of these young people were dying we would see evidence in terms of obits, knowing impacted people or their families, and it would show up in the hospitals where family and friends work. A 500,000 person cross section is large enough where it should be representative of the nation as a whole.
Everyone’s mileage may vary. Just my 2 cents.
