It clearly attempts to make a link to vaccinations

Nope. It's right there in the posted abstract folks: "We use obituary information published in an Amish/Mennonite newspaper to examine excess death among the Amish/Mennonites in 2020".

The paper compares Amish death rates in 2015 to 2019 to those in 2020, after the arrival of the virus. Covid vaccines were not available in that time period.

Attempting to claim the paper has anything to do with covid vaccination is odd, if not misleading.
