Our model suggests that global deaths remain 5% above pre-Covid forecasts
It might be worth generating a version that excludes Russia and Ukraine.

WHO downgrades COVID pandemic, says it's no longer emergency
Btw if we look at the excess mortality data, it showed a pretty good temporal correlation with Covid waves/mortality. Similar with UK data. There are also data from many other countries available, e.g. Economist, and latest plots for 100 countries. This would seem to reconcile with bodies like the USA CDC, UK ONS etc. claiming that the vast majority (>85%) of C19 deaths has C19 as the underlying cause.

[OC] Total excess mortality per million people during the pandemic
Easiest is to use the linear trend in deaths over the 2015-2019 interval (be it increase or decrease). Doing so, and comparing all countries up to the present (using models to account for non-reporting in recent weeks / many countries) you get this: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates

The death records show the COVID vaccines are shortening lifespan worldwide
There’s also the latest data from many other countries (The Economist), and the latest plots with Covid mortality and vaccine uptake for 100 countries. In various countries it doesn’t look like there’s a temporal correlation with excess.

[OC] Estimated Excess Mortality during COVID in the United States, China, Russia, and 8 European Countries
Additionally, these stats are based on excess mortality stats(not Covid-19 deaths) compiled by the Economist, not exactly a CPC news outlet, and nowhere in their article do they mention the data being suspect.
The Economist did not use the Chinese Covid data at all. As explained here, they simply look at projected life expectancy in populations vs actual life expectancy. Thus, that actually tracks the total number of people who died as a result of the pandemic, not just infection. So for example, increases in liver cirrhosis from alcoholism caused by lockdowns would be included.

There were approximately 14.83 million excess deaths associated with COVID-19 across the world from 2020 to 2021, according to estimates by the WHO reported in Nature. This estimate is nearly three times the number of deaths reported to have been caused by COVID-19 over the same period.
The Economist puts it at 20.8 million: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates

Sweden fucked around and found out
Actually, Finland has a higher excess mortality rate than Sweden and Sweden has one of the lowest rates in Europe. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates
