The fact that you actually don't get it makes your entire reasoning suspect.
So you say. A reason would be useful. A car can last with a rusty frame, and a rusty frame can often be repaired. Similarly covid can be survived. An accident can stress the rusty frame to the breaking point, totalling the vehicle. People who have covid can die of diseases that would not otherwise have killed them. Those people should be counted as covid deaths. They would be alive but for covid.
You seem enamored by vaccines, why is that?
You just skipped over all those reports and links about higher hospitalization and fatality rates for unvaccinated people, didn't you?
That USNews article contains no references to research that would support your claim about "the fourth leading cause of death among Americans". Almost every link in the article is just to another USNews article, and the two links that aren't have nothing to do with your statement. All you have is journalist Michael O. Schroeder's opinions, and who is he? Aside from someone who can't name his sources?

That article is from April 1998. Are you certain nothing has changed in almost 25 years? Something more current would be more appropriate. But all that aside everything we manufacture has killed someone, and until quite recently the average lifespan in the West has continued to increase. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=average+lifespan+in+the+first+world+over+time&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images
pharmaceutical companies
Fossil fuel companies, tobacco companies, sugar companies, junk food companies, lawn dart companies, ... the number is huge. Here's a list plucked from the Internet just now. 100 companies. https://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/top100.html
There are more lists out there - I expect you to examine your activities and stop trusting them all.
you are inclined to believe what Pfizer tells you
I believe I did quote a Pfizer study at one point. And studies from Johns Hopkins, Yale, Harvard, the New England Journal of Medicine, the American Medical Association, the Canadian Medical Association, McGill University, Queens University, the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine, and a bunch of others. They all say that the vaccines reduce the impact of the virus and this, of course, lowers the load on the healthcare system. That means your Mom has a better chance of getting her heart / cancer / osteoporosis / whatever dealt with.
You can keep posting "unsupported opinion"
Why would I spend time addressing every single point put forward without any backup from someone with no training, expertise, or experience in the field?
If your local grocer
You're equating the best science the globe has to offer with 2-bit shysters. That says something about you. The vast, vast, vast majority of the people who are best equipped to figure out this pandemic are not geared up to manufacture medicine, but they recommend the vaccines.
