Covid-19 may have killed nearly 3M in India, far more than official counts show
https://github.com/TheEconomist/covid-19-excess-deaths-track...
They get their data from the World Mortality Dataset (https://github.com/akarlinsky/world_mortality). They claim their modeled baselines fit a linear trend for year, to account for long-term increases or decreases in mortality, and a fixed effect for each week or month up to February 2020.
I haven't dug into the details of the methodology but it appears very sensible. Of course it's very dependent on overall mortality rates having been accurately reported to begin with.
If the Economist keeps this this chart going long enough, we should expect that in countries worst affected by covid, future mortality rates will fall below the expected baseline. The simple (if somewhat morbid) logic being that in those places the most vulnerable people will have already died.

Woah.. Just had a thought- If there WAS actual CLEAR evidence vaccine saved lives and prevented bad outcomes on an age categorized basis, why would you even fact check a ''false claim'' by pointing to ''flaws'' in the logic-reasoning, why wouldn't you simply provide the counter-evidence?

The COVID virus has mutated so much since 2019 that some experts say it should be renamed SARS-CoV-3
Might it be possible, just maybe, that the figures reported from other areas of the world are not quite accurate- either from lack of resources or willful manipulation of data? Here's an article from that renowned liberal bastion 'The Economist' about excess mortality rates worldwide: Excess mortality
