They didn't really look like that, it was probably more like 1% and that is quite an outlier. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... A lot of places around the world have had little or no lockdowns or vaccinations and have not seen anything like 10% fatality rate over the population. This is fear mongering.

Oops, you're right - I completely messed up the numbers. 10% is way too much, even for CFR. Still, 1-2% death rates is a huge number.
