Mini-PSA: The US didn't actually stop tracking covid deaths.
For a few years, the feds ran *two* fatality-tracking systems—CDC's tracker assembled from state reports, and the provisional death counts from the National Center for Health Statistics, which do all kinds of death reporting via the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). In 2023, the CDC discontinued case and death data compilation, leaving the NVSS as the sole source.
You can find the NVSS data here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm
