This number is in line with the estimate made by The Economist. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-... (20M global excess deaths, vs 6M official covid deaths). To be clear: we're talking about global excess deaths here (i.e. deaths due to covid in a direct or indirect way), not direct deaths. This analysis struck me in terms of how many people may have died from covid indirectly.
