Two new peer-reviewed studies show there were THREE TIMES as many deaths globally and in the US from #COVID than previously thought. The numbers are staggering, the details gutting.

Here are some excerpts in case you can't access this piece. There are shocking data here, including that only 10% of deaths are recorded in some places, like Africa versus 91% in Europe. This is a global failure that suggests an overall lack of concern for some lives v others. 
Those of us who have truly "followed the science," always knew there were more deaths than recorded. HOW MANY still comes as a shock and a gut punch. That so many #COVID cases went untallied is unconscionable. That we have yet to address these failures two years in is perilous.
The loss of so many MORE lives due to untreated illness in those who couldn't access medical care bc COVID overwhelmed the system is yet another layer to this, as the piece states. And is one of the most damning assessments of the study. So many people died who shouldn't have.
