Did COVID really kill 6 million? At least in the US hospitals got extra funding for any patient identified with COVID so you routinely saw deaths (like gunshot wounds!) attributed to COVID when COVID clearly wasn't the primary cause.

Because of the ridiculous politicization of COVID and the response to it I take NOTHING at face value since every time the "experts" make an assertion, those assertions change months (if not weeks) later. Just look at the ridiculous evolution of masking guidance. How the vaccine story evolved from you won't get it it to you won't spread it to well, maybe your symptoms won't be quite as severe to the real truth after the FDA and Pfizer were forced to provide the background documentation after getting sued that the vaccines are less than 20% effective. What a shock - big phrama that has already had to pay out billions in the past for lying was lying again?

Excess deaths worldwide are more than 20 million and most of them are COVID deaths since excess deaths track covid cases well pretty much everywhere.

So, yes, covid did indeed kill way more than 6 million.

There has been very questionable counting of the deaths in Canada, as well.

For example, according to the public health unit of Canada's most populous city:

"Individuals who have died with COVID-19, but not as a result of COVID-19 are included in the case counts for COVID-19 deaths in Toronto."
