I went onto the link and it came up with the graph you posted. Is the rest your opinion or is there more to your story? If it makes it easier for you, just put it down to “coincidence”.

The graph above has been taken from official CDC data which can be searched for here(see Ref. 1), and it shows the number of deaths due to ‘symptoms signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified’ by the week they occurred.

The World Health Organisation states that deaths in this category consist of the following –
Cases for which no more specific diagnosis can be made even after all the facts bearing on the case have been investigated;
Signs or symptoms existing at the time of initial encounter that proved to be transient and whose causes could not be determined;
Provisional diagnoses in a patient who failed to return for further investigation or care;
Cases referred elsewhere for investigation or treatment before the diagnosis was made;
Cases in which a more precise diagnosis was not available for any other reason;
Certain symptoms, for which supplementary information is provided, that represent important problems in medical care in their own right.

As you've confirmed, it's a catch all category for deaths where no other specific diagnosed cause is attributable.

This category looks to peak at around 6% or 7% of all deaths a month or so after the week is first published and then declines to around 1% to 2% of all deaths as the data is finalised (which can take 6 to 12 months or longer - Understanding Death Data (cdc.gov))

The chart I linked demonstrated that this pattern is repeated and that spike bears no relation to vaccination levels. The spike is likely an anomaly of the data collection/analysis process as the CDC's mortality data moves from provisional to final.
