Excess mortality world wide is at about 20% higher than normal. From just bellow 60 million to 70 million. So about 10 million per year more people dying than normal.

Excess mortality in the US, where vaccination rates are much higher than the world average, is at 40%.

That's far more than can ever be attributed to changes in diet, exercise and mental health from lockdowns, or even reduced capacity for provision of treatments in hospitals due to being occupied by COVID patients. Even if all these figures, including the estimates in the article were off by a factor of ten it would still be a significant enough risk to cast the safety of the vaccine into doubt compared to simplify catching the virus and recovering naturally.
