A friend used to do a bunch of analysis and share... But not something I can share or I'd provide the reference.
The denial is what scares me the most.
Excess deaths, while a red flag, is not enough evidence to state for a fact that covid deaths were vastly under reported, especially not by a specific number/percentage. My point was to bring up that there are gaps in the data which inhibit the logical progression needed, and those gaps are not likely to be filled, so I doubt the official tally will change.

Does the statistical analysis point to unreported covid deaths as likely, sure. But that seems to be based on certain assumptions, and a different study can come to a very different conclusion by making different, but entirely reasonable assumptions.
