Yes, I was wondering why we're calling the vaccine a pathogen and why the number is ONLY 7 million.
The virus itself was almost certainly not directly responsible for 7+ million deaths. It could have been a contributing factor for that many. However, even that is not certain. For example, I would not count it as a contributing factor when the main cause of death is gun shot wounds. Note that in that specific case, the virus was listed as cause of death like that made sense. In fact, there were several such cases.
