India is a very bad counterexample. 1) Think tank estimates of 10-fold higher mortality than official should be taken with a grain of salt. 2) It is a poor country with many problems – corruption (they failed to deliver oxygen cylinders to hospitals just because nobody cared), 3) healthcare issues (untreated TB, infectious diseases etc.), 4) social aspects (housing, slums, overcrowded places). Do you know what is the average life expectancy in Indian slums? The last time I checked it was just about 40 years. They can and will vaccinate against covid but to help slum dwellers they will need much more work and social changes. In short, it is in no way comparable to any western country. Brazil mortality however is only <50% higher than the US so it is not even worth to analyse it.
