How many died?
The cure is possibly worse than the 99.5% survival rate disease.

It took 2 people to write the article, with additional reporting from a 3rd, without citing a specific source. There is a mention at the end :
The data showed opioids were involved in 74.7% of overdose deaths, rising to 69,710 in 2020 from 50,963 in 2019. "We do know the primary driver of the increase (in deaths) involves synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl," Bob Anderson, chief of the Mortality Statistics Branch at the health statistics center, said. ... but there are several quotes in the article so the traditional who, what, why, where, when seems to have been skipped or assumed here. 21st century journalism, with 2 editors in addition to 2 or 3 reporters.

Those deaths were necessary to flatten the curve and save people from dying of Covid.
Same thing for all of the teen suicides.
