@ Vanamonde93: I would like to answer your question that "how on earth is this not in the lead already?"
The source is WHO, and their report has pegged India’s excess mortality (people who probably would not have died if there was no pandemic) to be at 4.7 million. These ‘excess’ deaths are considered to be a direct or indirect result of Covid-19.
This is nowhere same as Indian government's own statistics which suggest half-a-million deaths due to Covid-19. That's why these statistics cannot be used as alternative statistics to those provided by Indian government.
You should read these two sources that have provided good argument against these types of computer modelling, not just by WHO but other sources who also came up with 1 million - 5 million excess deaths: [1] [2] Aman Kumar Goel ( Talk) 17:55, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
Like already noted above, "excess deaths" provided by WHO and the registered COVID-19 deaths by India, are not same figures. Both figures shouldn't be on lead and shouldn't be compared with each other. I am also in support of restoring the sentence from the earlier version before this version, as it already noted suspected undercounting. @ Abecedare: can you also share your view? >>> Extorc. talk 19:03, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
