You write: “I think much of our death data has been over-stated, but... I can't ignore this: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

It would be instructive to notice how much of the CDC is verbiage, words piled onto words. One observes the technical term "estimates" in their "data." This is consistent with the technical terms "presumed" and "assumed" from the April 2020 document on how to amplify the identity of a Covd death. Such words to not sit well with the requirements of hard data. From another source one finds that the death rate in the US is still lower than in 1950, and a rise in the death rate from its lowest point began in about 2014, not with the advent of the "pandemic." https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/death-rate How do "estimate" and "presumed" fit with a rigorous collection of data points? Yet this is what the WHO and CDC have advised. https://www.who.int/classifications/icd/Guidelines_Cause_of_Death_COVID-19.pdf?ua=1 Your comment combines "overestimated" but you "can't ignore" estimates? That seems a dissonance of some sort. Still, the overall hard data says: Global deaths through 23 months -- ( 5,105,270 / 7,906,949,863 ) x 100 = 0.0645 %. Prove that wrong without resorting to estimates and presumptions, please.

Did you miss this disclaimer on the site you linked?

NOTE: All 2020 and later data are UN projections and DO NOT include any impacts of the COVID-19 virus.

That looks like a fairly important point.

If you want to try to argue that deaths didn't increase, significantly, in the US and around the world in 2020 and 2021, I think our conversation is done.
