If its been given that often should be really easy for you to reference then. Otherwise it's just a number you made up.

Stop pretending you care about the truth.
First they said 5% plus will die. A little later they said 2 - 3%. A little later they said "oopsies" we forgot to factor in that most ppl who get it dont even notice and never get tested (durr) its actually more like 1%. The paper below demonstrates that even this estimate was exxagerated 10 x due to bad math basically.

A comparison of coronavirus and seasonal influenza CFRs may have been intended during Congressional testimony, but due to misclassifying an IFR as a CFR, the comparison turned out to be between an adjusted coronavirus CFR of 1% and an influenza IFR of 0.1%. Had the adjusted coronavirus mortality rate not been lowered from 3% to 1%, fatality comparisons of the coronavirus to the IFR of seasonal influenza would have increased from 10-times higher to 20- to 30-times higher.

Read the conclusion it is very clear.. the estimate presented was 1% and he states that was a 10x overestimate (ie. correct the math and its .1% not 1%).

I can say for certain that I personally know of 3 people that have died of covid, and 2 others my wife knew.

Those estimates are based on fake and incomplete data.. most of the ppl reported as "dying from covid" did not.. they died with it.

No you cant actually... the vast majority of ppl in these data died WITH covid, not because of it.. the CDC has admitted this now.

Sorry, I don't buy into the whole "with, not of" thing.
NO one dies of Covid. But Covid can be the cause of death.
They had Covid. They had other problems. If the cause of death was a stroke, kidney failure, hart failure, whatever, the fact remains that covid is what put them over the top. Had they not contracted covid, there is a VERY high probability they would not have died at that time. To me, that makes covid the indirect means of death.

Short answer is you will never know.
It's widely documented they classified as many deaths as possible due to COVID, regardless if that was the actual cause of death. Annual death rates per year didn't change. Just comparing the cause of death clearly shows what was shifted to COVID.
The same amount of elderly people will still die from old age, pneumonia, heart failure, COPD, strokes, etc etc. It just depends if they'll list COVID as the cause of death or the true cause of death.
During January–December 2020, the estimated 2020 age-adjusted death rate increased for the first time since 2017, with an increase of 15.9% compared with 2019, from 715.2 to 828.7 deaths per 100,000 population. COVID-19 was the underlying or a contributing cause of 377,883 deaths (91.5 deaths per 100,000).

The data is fake and incomplete in a way that it necessarily overestimates the deadliness of covid.. if they were attributimg obvious covid deaths to car crashes and cancer etc. and saying it wasnt covid, you might have a case to say "well maybe because the data is fake/incomplete it might even be underestimated" but that isnt what is happening...
The majority of what they are counting as "death caused by covid" were not deaths caused by covid.

Think on it a little more. Most ppl who get covid dont even notice.. just because they die of a heart attack while they have it doesnt mean it caused their death.

The death count includes deaths where covid is listed as a cause of death. It may not be the only factor but it was certainly a reason they died. We can also see from the excess deaths figure that something has cause a marked increase in deaths over the same period as the pandemic.
Also you still haven't answered where you get the .1% figure from if not official data.
