    Even worse - 4.7 million is an acknowledged ~underestimate~ Even if we only correct for India, the true figure is likely to be at least 7 million so far 😬https://twitter.com/amymaxmen/status/1439701679662768132 …

    4.7 million Covid deaths in less than 2 years. When people argue against masks or vaccines by saying that Covid isn't all that dangerous please ask them how many deaths it would take to change their minds.

        but according to Indians, these studies are done by white men, and things "on the ground " are much better.../s

        I’ve seen mature estimates of 15m. We’ll never know.

        if you think the numbers they're giving us are the actual numbers, you're not paying attention.
