I am talking about this table:

(warning excel)

It shows that of the 32 European countries 17 didn't even exceed an excess of 5% in the whole period from 2020-01 to 2021-06.

The way I read it, almost all countries had extra mortality despite lockdowns, and despite a very mild flu year in 2020 and flu being basically not a thing in 2021.

In fact the only countries with negative mortality are either islands or the northern Europe countries which have long been known to be outliers.
