What's interesting is that this number matches very closely with the recorded excess mortality: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-excess-deaths-... - for those who think the COVID-19 death numbers are artificially blown up.

the mortality has largely slowed down after the vaccines were introduced... as shown by this graph.

Or, since it's all causes, it might show that covid measures like lockdowns, and others, actually killed more people instead of saving

There are some countries that locked down that show no excess mortality: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ so at least we can say not all lockdowns result in mass casualties.

A “lockdown sceptic” may argue that not all lockdowns are the same of course.
