Died Suddenly/Died Unexpectedly -- an internet data analysis

With all these threads reporting that someone "died suddenly" I decided to use advanced Google search about the rate of the use of these two exact phrases online, from:

11/16/2018-11/16/2019 (prepandemic)
11/16/2019-11/16/2020 (before widespread vaccination in pandemic)
11/16/2020-11/16/2021 (this past current year)
5/16/2021-11/16/2021 (just the last six months when side effects of widespread vaccination are setting in)

Here are the values (in order of the above):
"Died Unexpectedly"
39,000
49,500
92,200
71,600 (last six months)

"Died Suddenly"
58,400
65,500
139,000
91,900 (last six months)

Combined (adding data for both phrases together)
97,400
115,000
231,200
163,500 (last six months)

In the last six months, references to these polite euphemisms for whatever it is trying to not fully describe, has gone from an annual rate of 97,400 times, to a SIX MONTH rate of 4 times that (163,500 in just six months).

So what is up with that? Why are obituaries, news stories, social media posts, going up 400% increase in the last six months, to describe people's passing in this way?

Statistics 101 tells you that is a statistically significant change.

Why is that?
