Because I'm pretty sure that excess non-COVID mortality can be mostly explained by those three factors.
These three factors are huge indictments of the left wing overreaction to COVID (in all countries, not just US), but not really indictments of the vaccine.
How can you explain more excess deaths per capital among vaxxed people, if not from the vaccine itself?
Easy. Vaxxed people were more likely to follow the rules to stay home during the lockdowns, and thus were more subject to the psychological side effects of such lockdowns, leading to increased drug/alcohol abuse and suicides.
This is why you have to be VERY careful when drawing conclusions from a complex situation like this, without considering all variables.
Otherwise it's just playing with statistics -- something we saw the left doing constantly during COVID, in order to make people under 45 much more scared of it than they should have been.
