So, when the US Society of Actuaries, as sober and dull group of number crunchers as you could hope to meet, reported overall excess mortality in the 25-54 age group to be +83% in Q3 2021, they did not attribute it to anything - well, that's not really their job. You can check the figures in the SOA Research Institute's August 22 report.

I've read through that report and I don't see anything in it that shows excess mortality at +83% for the 25-54 age group.

 

I did find a Reuters Fact Check that documents false claims circulating on social media about an 84% rise in excess mortality for 25-44 year-olds, though. Is that related to what you're claiming?

CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) told Reuters via email that the provisional data on CDC’s WONDER database (wonder.cdc.gov/) does not show that the percent increase since 2019 reaches 84% in any month for the 25-44 age group.

Fact Check-No evidence that people aged 25-44 experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality

Table 5.7. The excess mortality for Q3 2021 is shown as +78% (25-34 years), +100% (35-44 years), +80% (45-54 years); adjusted for the size of the cohorts gives an excess mortality figure of about +83% for the 25-54 age group.

Good to see excess deaths in the US down for all age groups:
