You are not making a strawman so much as believing lies. Your grasping at straws with that failed logic that anti-vaxxers have been failing with.
The under reported cases, and death count are easy to pull out of the statistics. The claim you are making with no evidence require no evidence to debunk. It's just a lie.
This is not easy to pull out of the statistics, it is generally not even attempted. The approach has been to not investigate deaths if a test suggests covid in someone's body,
but to simply count it as a covid death. This actually has been openly admitted. I do not have this in front of me, and I do not feel very generous after having been called a liar
