As much as I like this illustration, where is heart disease, cancer and traffic deaths? I believe COVID is a serious enough threat to the world without having to cherry pick data to prove it.

It says so right at the bottom of the page.

*Except COVID, causes of death shown account for ~7% of global deaths annually

I'm not sure that this qualifies as "cherrypicking" so much as it's a comparison to causes of death in a similar order of magnitude.
