According to a new study of pandemic era excess deaths across 47 Western countries, there were over 1M excess deaths in 2020, 1.2M in 2021, and 800K in 2022, the latter two of which occurred during the rollout of vaccines and other safety measures.
The study out of the Netherlands, which was published in the journal BMJ Public Health, says besides COVID infection deaths, the "unprecedented" number of excess deaths could also be blamed on vaccines and other "health strategies" used during that period.
