Yes undoubtably, but the question is to what extent those deaths would have been recorded as COVID in the absence of mass hysteria. In the UK COVID was very rapidly put on the "notifiable diseases" list which makes how cases/deaths are reported and classified much more aggressive.

Consider that the average age of a COVID death is over 80, it's actually over the average life expectancy. For many of these cases they'd actually be either asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms, and if COVID had been treated as a normal respiratory outbreak then it'd never have been made notifiable meaning the recorded cause of death would be different.

"You would never miss that many extra deaths"

Who is "you"? People who study mortality stats would have noticed it and it'd be ascribed to a coronavirus outbreak, but would the average person have noticed anything? The difference in mortality between now and (say) 2012 is so small that you'd not know it existed if the media/government weren't telling everyone about it every day. If I think about my own life, I don't know a single person in two years who's died, not even one that's been hospitalized. Lots of people who got it, of varying ages, but it was just a rough few days and then they always recovered.

In another world, this could have passed without me ever knowing anything was happening. It's just not directly observable by the vast majority.

"And countries like australia, who have had very low covid infections, but have had lockdowns, have shown not even a blip in all cause mortality. So lockdowns are not the thing causing deaths, its the covid."

Parts of Australia have done yes, but they didn't tell people they had a moral duty to not go to hospital, or flood care homes with infected people. "Lockdowns" is a term that encompasses a lot of really stupid stuff governments did, especially at the start.
