That's a pretty hard analysis to make. You'd have to compare people that 1) wanted to get vaccinated and 2) _could_ have been vaccinated if they were in the US instead of Europe and 3) died from COVID during the 2 month delay and

The EU had a substantially delayed rollout of vaccines compared to the US [1]. You can see that the purple line (US) is about 2 months ahead of the yellow (EU). Especially in the early days of the rollout the EU was very behind. [1]: http
