The website shows 6,841,400 total deaths. That's a very "conservative" number.
Both The Economist [1] and the WHO [2] for instance say that the number may well be way more than the official one (The Economist is at 29+ million now).
I know firsthand for certain that there's a country in the world that LIED about the numbers (not underestimated, but LIED). I won't name the country.
I think it will be in the history manuals that the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most, if not the most, devastating pandemic of the 21st century (maybe of the 20th century, too, for some countries [3]).
What is also shocking is the fact that many deaths are correlated with vaccine-skepticism (or to be more colloquial, covidiocy) [4]
