Referring to USA Today article authored by Dr. Pierre Kory he's doing two things.
The group life insurance stuff (linked below) attributes about 75% of excess deaths during covid to covid directly. The other 25% are unattributed in insurance claims, but the timing of these excesses are coincident with peaks in covid deaths. A reasonable person might presume they are thus related to the pandemic, but the insurance study authors are cautious not to make attributions in the absence of concrete evidence.
Kory is spinning this scientific caution as "we don't know" with the implication that it is something nefarious and vaccine related when it's simply acknowledging uncertainty.
Kory also references, albeit not explicitly, a study showing a rise in cancer cases among younger persons. He seems to be implying a that this is somehow tied vaccines. The study however covers a rise over several decades with data ending in 2019, well before covid or covid vaccinations.

More young people are dying from heart attacks. Yet they say it's going down. The fact that they need to lie about it and publish stats saying it's going down is definite proof that it's going up. Cannot dispute that.

"Our problems really began back in the 1990s. Life expectancy has been increasing in all industrialized countries. But starting then the pace of increase in the United States began to fall off. And then after 2010, it just stopped increasing altogether and plateaued. John Yang: What are the factors in that? Why is that happening? Dr. Steven Woolf: Well, it's being driven by an increase in death rates in young and middle-aged adults 25 to 64. And most of those relate to the problems of drug overdoses, suicides, alcohol related causes. These are sometimes called deaths of despair, but also cardiometabolic diseases like diabetes and other conditions caused by obesity. John Yang: And I know that you've taken a closer look at that younger age range. What were you finding? Dr. Steven Woolf: Well, we found that death rates increased in that young adult and middle age group. But there was something disturbing in the new data for 2021. Yes, it showed this massive decrease in life expectancy, but it also showed an increase in death rates in children and teenagers. And an increase of that size has not been seen in my entire career. John Yang: And what are the factors that play into that? Dr. Steven Woolf: Well, keep in mind that death rates have been falling dramatically in young people due to progress in pediatric medicine and curing cancer and deaths from birth defects. We've also markedly reduced the risk of deaths from car accidents. But this upward trend is the result of four causes, suicides, homicides, drug overdoses and car accidents, mainly in young people 10 to 19 years old."
