The key take away is that the plummeting blue line in 2021 still represents a net increase in excess deaths from 2020. Most people will not process this as an
Increase. That is the problem with an annual year-to-year comparison. A comparison to a constant baseline shows the continuing increase better. I would love to see excess death comparisons against a 2015-19 baseline for ten-twenty most vaccinated countries versus the 10-20 least vaccinated countries. Also excess death charts by age cohorts are very revealing.

Good points, Bill. I'll address this first by giving a 65-year history of Excess Death in the USA.
