Very much.
That's what we know today

Just a few days ago we were informed that the global death toll from Corona had reached a dismal milestone of more than 5 million people.
But most experts agree that the real number is much higher, and the real data may be twice and even three times what has been published.
Vaccines may have slowed the mortality rate greatly, but there are large parts of the world to which they have not yet reached, where the number of deaths from the virus is only rising.

"The corona has killed up to 180,000 medical workers"
To the full article
There are many reasons why the data may be incorrect.
Although the Johns Hopkins University follow-up charts showcasing the latest available data (which at the time of writing stands at 5,014,808 dead), as many researchers suspect, the corona had traveled around the world much earlier than we all thought, so the cause of death may have been documented As other diseases or even classified as "unknown".
This is also true for the first days of the epidemic (19 months ago) when the very wide range of symptoms was not yet fully understood and doctors were not yet aware of the deadly characteristics of the virus.
This means that corona has been reported as other diseases.
Where did it start?

In addition, some states have reported only COVID-19 deaths that have occurred in hospitals, or those that have been tested and found to be positive for the virus.
Other countries, like Italy, were flooded with the first wave of deaths that did not have enough resources available to test and determine the cause of them.
On the other hand, some countries, including Russia, Brazil, and Iran, have not released truthful data about Corona deaths in their territory.

Already in May, the World Health Organization (WHO) suspected that up to three times more people died as a result of the virus than the data showed. Based on a report that showed that by December 31, 2020, the corona virus had killed 1.8 million people, the World Health Organization estimated that the excess deaths were more likely to be 3 million. By May, 3.4 million people had died and the health organization estimated the figure at a higher probability of 6-8 million. Which means that if the data shows 5 million dead - the real number is probably closer to 10 million. And even more.
One way to get a better and more accurate picture is to examine the "surplus" deaths of countries. These are deaths over a period of time that are above the basic average mortality rate. Take for example India where 4 million excess deaths were recorded. The reason by the way is that the epidemic has probably increased the number of deaths for other reasons like overcrowding in hospitals or lack of access to medical care.
As mentioned, vaccines that entered our lives more than six months ago have made a fundamental change, and there are still many problems waiting to be solved: the first and perhaps most burning is not the opponents of vaccines but the fact that rich countries buy vaccines and store the booster population already, while poor countries are still waiting. Another year until the vaccines reach them.
If this trend continues the chances of the corona ending in the coming years are slim.
